Water content in the sand is determined seprately first and the requirements of water in concrete is accordingly adjusted to control w/c ratio required in the mix.
Purpose of California bearing ratio test:
The main purpose of the California bearing ratio test is the measurement of a soil resistance penetration before reaching its highest ultimate value of a shearing Basically, 2 California bearing ratio value is designed... (More)
Here I will provide your names of various methods that are used for the design of pavement construction. Please check the following list;
Methods used to design flexible pavement:
Hi, In simple words coefficient of subgrade reaction is the function of stiffness and compressibility of soil.
It is also known as Modulus of subgrade reaction. It is pressure sustain by a sample of soil under a rigid plate... (More)
There’s no such thing as sheroid triangle. I think you wanted to type spheroid triangle.
Spheroid triangle is nothing but a triangle on a sphere (the Earth). In surveying, when three points on the Earth are taken which are at... (More)
Why Install it in the slab? A solar panel is not a load bearing structure. You cannot use it for structural purposes. That is simply a bad decision because solar panels are costly and hence they need to be kept... (More)

A beam is a horizontal member and it takes load by bending itself only. So you know very well the beam will either sag(like a valley) or hog(summit forms ). In both the cases upper fibres of beam undergoes compression(in... (More)
Generally, the pressure which is exerted by the fluid in a porous medium and composed of a solid framework, pores filled completely or partially with water or other fluid is called Pore Water Pressure.
Negative pore water pressure is obtained... (More)
A patented pile formed by driving a steel shell into the ground to the required depth, putting in small quantities of concrete, and hammering them down so as to force the concrete into the earth beyond the point of the... (More)
Stucco is a construction material made of aggregates, a binder and water. Stucco is applied wet and hardens to a very dense solid. It is also used as a decorative coating for walls and ceilings, external building siding, and as... (More)
Under reamed pile is the best type of foundation for black cotton soil as it’s
The reamed pipe is placed with the moistured surface, and the ball present in it will allow the equal distribution of the load of the... (More)
The per capita demand or per capita consumption is usually calculated for a specific city, area, or village for planning the water requirement of that area and to plan a specific water distribution system accordingly. so coming back to your... (More)
Soil density is defined in two different terms.
In terms of particle density the density of soil is 2.65 gram per cubic centimeter.
in terms of bulk density, the density of soil is 1.6 gram per... (More)
The maximum comfortable speed on a horizontal curve depends on the radius of the curve. It is possible to design with maximum superelevation and coefficient of friction. If the design speed is increased in the future. So the radius of... (More)
What if I said construction is the 2nd largest economic activity in the country next to agriculture?
Around 25% of nation’s working population depends on construction and its allied activities for their livelihood. (I am one of them :D )... (More)
