Bearing Capacity Definitions Bearing capacity: It is the loading capacity of the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity (qu): That is the least gross pressure that will result in the shear collapse of the supporting soil directly below the foundation. Net ultimate bearing power (qun): it is the net strain that can be added to the foundation … Read more
Introduction of Structural Loads Structural analysis is a salient feature of a design of buildings as structural loads can typically cause stress, deformation, and displacement which might result in structural failure. What Are Structural Loads? Loads are generally the forces that can cause stresses, deformations, or accelerations. There are an ample range of distinct kinds … Read more
What Is Lime (Hydraulic)? It is an important binding material used in building construction. Lime has been used as the material of construction from ancient times. When it is mixed with sand it provides lime mortar and when mixed with sand and coarse aggregate, it forms lime concrete. Lime is a good building material for … Read more
We know that Rebar. It is known as reinforcement steel and reinforcing steel. This is a steel bar or mesh bar of steel wire used in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold this concrete in tension. Reinforcing steel bars are used to help the concrete withstand tension forces. Why use Rinforcmnet in … Read more
What is Bulkage of Sand or Bulkage of Aggregate? Bulkage in the sand when dry sand contact atmosphere moisture. Then incense sand volume. After contact with atmosphere moisture then sand particles around create a layer. After generating a layer of sand particles create force. Sand particles make force then particles move aside from each other. … Read more
What Is Mortar? Cement and water, or lime, Suki, and water are used to make mortar. The mortar’s joining ingredients are lime and cement. The mortars are strengthened by sand and suki. They also avoid unnecessary cracking caused by paste shrinkage. As the proportion increases, the strength of mortars reduces. The best mixture is one … Read more
Density of Cement Sand and Aggregate We know the density which is also known as unit weight, its mass per unit volume of area of that material. The density is denoted by the symbol by RHO (ρ), it defines the degree of compactness of material. Density refers that which material density is high then that … Read more
