Interpolation of the contours is the process of spacing the contours proportionately between the plotted ground points established by indirect methods. The methods of interpolation are based on the assumption that the slope of ground between the two points is... (More)
The property of reflection can be used for the selection of material like glass for windows, tiles, etc.
Normally, after three meter from the DPC of ground floor level or one floor which should not be more than 4 m height, contactor can charge for extra height if it is not mentioned in the contract about this .
Any material will give you a finished form if itβs the right consistency and is deposited using an effective method. Guessing, I would say industrial grout with sand and latex additive.
The project budget, scale and environment will dictate the... (More)
Rock outcrops are defined as visible exposures of bedrock or other geologic formations at the surface of the Earth. Rock outcrops take many different forms within the Park, ranging from the massive granite boulders of Old Rag Mountain, to the... (More)
K = Pressure / Deflection
p β Ξ
p = KΞ
Where, p = reaction pressure, Ξ = deflection, K = mod. of subgrade reaction
MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION
In simple, it is a measure of grounds ability to resist... (More)
Advantages of remote sensing:-
1. Large area coverage: Remote sensing allows coverage of very large areas which enables regional surveys on a variety of themes and identification of extremely large features.
2. Remote sensing allows repetitive coverage which comes in... (More)
Sugar meddles with the concrete restricting cycle in the solid. Note that solid and concrete are not equivalent. Concrete is made by consolidating concrete, water and a filler material called a "total," like rock or sand. Most concrete is produced... (More)
Thank you everyone.
The rebound hammer test method is based on the principle that the rebound of an elastic mass depends on the hardness of the concrete surface against which the mass strikes. The operation of the rebound hammer is shown in figure-1.... (More)
What is consolidation? Consolidation is the process of settlement of soils due to reduce in the volume of soils, which occurs to to expulsion of water form the voids of soil mass.
What is 100% percent saturation? All the voids... (More)
Hi, hydrogen is a cross-linked polymer which is water absorbed and holds due to its hydrophilic properties.
Nowadays, the hydrogel is used as a curing method but it is very expensive so not used worldwide. the hydrogen curing method is... (More)
As a civil engineer, career growth is really important to stick in the field of construction.
Civil engineers have to rebuild bridges, upgrade and dams and repair roads
But if we want to go further then we... (More)
The difference between MAP & PLAN are as follows ;
MAP : Generally, MAP is said to be a visual representation of an area. It can also be said as a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space... (More)
Hi, soil is a tri-axial material which contains air water and solids. The air are the remains present in the pores of soil. Permeability is the property of the soil to transmits the water through the series of pores through... (More)
Here, because water tanks are more vulnerable structures and plus the tank is sometime overfilled and sometime empty, the pressure inside is so varying,
It needs more safety precautions and as we all know working stress method assumes more safety... (More)
Pile foundations are habitually used for large structures and in certain situations where the soil at shallow depth is unsuitable to withstand excessive settlement & resist uplift.
Thank You.
Chrome corundum bricks get a Ruby color (close to red) due to the hight content of chromium oxide as compared to alumina and other metals. If chromium oxide is present in a large amount and so are oxides of metals... (More)
Civil engineering is one of the oldest and core branch of engineering . After getting bachelor degree in civil engineering, you will be required to work in the construction industry as well as in the business, management, & financial sectors.... (More)
Hi,
Kadappa stone of 2β³ ( 50.8mm ) having its density in the range of 5.0 to 5.4 kg/cm^3 with a water absorption ratio of less than 2%.
After calculation, you may found that at 6-meter height, it is not... (More)
