hello i am 4th semester student of iit roorkee in civil engineering b.tech. please give me some suggestion about summer internship program.
D/Sir,
When a construction joint is treated as cold joint
Hye.. I’m from Malaysia…i want to ask why Manning’s formula is extensively used compares to darcy-weisbatch and chezy in open channel flow??
Manning’s formula was proposed by Robert Manning (an Irish engineer) to calculate uniform flow in open channel. It is probably the most widely used
uniform-flow formula around the world. Its extensive usage is due to the following reasons:
(i) The majority of open channel flows lies in rough turbulent region;
(ii) It is simple in form and the formula is well proven by much practical experience.
Manning’s formula shall not be applied in situations where Reynolds number effect is predominant. For Chezy formula, it is less commonly used owing to insufficient information to find out equivalent roughness and it is not backed by sufficient experimental and field data. However, in smooth boundaries, Chezy formula shall be adopted instead of Manning’s formula.

what about prestressed when used in seismic zone which may lead to failure ?
how to overcome the problem of failures mode in seismic zone
sir i m in 6 th sem doing b.tech in civil eng.as per rules we have six months training as a part of our btech.sir pls which line should i select as per today’s scope?buildings or brdiges or smthng else.
you select infrastructure sector very good opportunities in this sector
which is book is best for civil engineering ?
i am asking for myself as me going to begin 1st year of my b.tech in july 2011.
hi, how do i predict whether plugging will occur in an hollow circular pile driven offshore. is there any criteria to predict or guess whether the plugging is likely to occur based on penetration,soil prop,dia of pile etc.
Good day sir,
am an undergraduate schooling in Nigeria. i will be going for my 6-months internshp program very soon, what are the key areas under field work(construction) will you advice me to take seriously.
Could someone suggest me the location of constrution joints in roof dome slab.
I am a student of civil engineering what are the necessary things needed as a civil engineering student?
why only 25 blows in the determination of liquid limit by cassagrandes apparatus
How do we calculate the running length of steel required for Helical stirrups in pile, the diameter of pile is 760 mm, spacing is 8 tor @ 150 c/c, cover 50 mm.
Dia of pile= 760mm
Cover=50mm, Dia of helical stirrup= 760-2×50= 660mm
Length of helical tirrup= 2xpiexD=2X22/7X660mm+100mm(for hook length of stirrup), u calculate like this then u get running length of one helical stirrup.
can we completely replace the reinforcement steel in RCC ? if Yes . what is that material.
PCC (PRE STRESSED CEMENT CONCRETE)
I think by using prestresed Cement concrete, steel is not completely excluded, though the quantity is reduced.
reinforcement can be prevented but not the steel most probably. instead we use steel fibrs or poly fibres to serve the purpose
what is the role of third party quality contol/Assurance in civil construction work and why ?
Third party quality control enables confidence of constructed work and also the workers included in consruction also beware and follow good construction practices as nominated.
how i should get the weight of a 3.65mm thick,50mm breadth and 1000mm long square pipe?
please give definition for principle of virtual work. . . . .
