Hi,
General facts about the lotus temple are already mentioned in the above comments. Here, I describe details of a stone used in this great structure. Encouraged by the lotus flower, the design of Lotus Temple for the House of... (More)
Bathroom tiles are available in a surprising number of materials. ceramic, porcelain, and vinyl tiles are what come to mind first, and for good reasons. But there are... (More)
As we know,
Density = Mass / Volume
Here, Soil density is defined in two well accepted concepts as particle density and bulk density. In the metric system, particle density can be expressed in terms of mega grams per cubic... (More)
You mean to say longer span. The main reinforcement is provided on the longer span because the longest span is in a more critical situation and has to bear a higher bending moment. This is because the uplift pressure from... (More)
Mostly the ratio of 1:1.5:3 is used for M20 grade of concrete
So, Volume of dry concrete = 1.54 to 1.57 times volume of wet concrete
Assume, 1cum of concrete work ratio sum = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5
shrinkage or safety... (More)
Window sill level
The level which is exactly below the window frame it is a horizontal shelf at the bottom of the window frame. It protects the junction of the window and provides additional support and stability for the window.... (More)
The small dia reinforcement wrapped around the main or longitudinal reinforcement of columns, restraining the lateral expansion of the concrete under compression and thus strengthening the column. Columns with one helical reinforcement take more load than that of tied column... (More)
We all are giving priority to some important factor while buying and selling any item, E.g., Mileage for car, carat for gold, similarly the most important issue when we are buying or selling a house or property is the area.... (More)
The modulus of elasticity of concrete can be improved. As the porosity decreases, the modulus of elasticity of cement paste increases and consequently, the elastic modulus of concrete increases. The porosity of cement paste is controlled by water to cement... (More)
T-beam is simply rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab.
Advantage os T-beam over ordinary beam:-
Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil.It14 is the simple way of increasing the stability and supporting capacity of the soil.
Different types of compactors used are as follows
Thank you for your valuable reply, and I totally understand now about prestressing reinforcement.
Strength is one indicator of durability of concrete.
Other properties that make concrete durable are :
chloride and sulphate limits . Water absorption characteristics.
Check your project specifications for these limits. Chloride limit of 0.3% and Sulphate limit of 4%... (More)
Sustainable or green concrete is made of using raw materials such as fly ash, recycled concrete aggregates, and aluminum can fibers.
Fly Ash- Widely used sustainable raw material for concrete is Fly Ash, which is a waste product from coal... (More)
The objective of a swelling pressure test on soil is to determine the swelling pressure of expansive soil when it is not allowed to undergo any volume change. The volume change is arrested or the soil is not allowed to... (More)
For the different values of bearing capacity factor under the application of general shear failure, values are shown in the above table. Where Nc, Nq and Ny are the factors of Terzaghi's bearing capacity.
It depends on the length and complexity of the project.
Time of project varies from project to project. But, If tasks are scheduled properly and interrelated, all works. Then you did it in minimum time.
More time is required for... (More)
A caisson is a word that is borrowed from French caisson, which means a large box. It is related to geotechnical engineering. It is a watertight retaining structure used, for example, to work on the foundations of the bridge pier,... (More)
