Kani’s Method Structural analysis is one of the most important parts of civil engineering. The construction of high rise buildings and multi-storey buildings are increasing day by day. The high rise building requires the perfect analysis of frames and different structure of members features has a number of joints. Kani’s method was developed by Gasper…
Water is a crucial asset – without it, we simply would not survive. Every day we use it, and most of it is collected as sewage. Wastewater can be classified into two categories: black water and grey water. Although both are wastewater, they have different levels of contamination, which is why they must be treated…
What Is Stainless Steel? Stainless steel is the form a steel alloy with a chromium content of 11.5 percent by weight. Owing to the sufficient amount of chromium in stainless steel, the steel product doesn’t often rust, scratch nor corrode. Probably due to this function, the specific type of steel is known as corrosion-resistant steel….
What Is Cantilever? Cantilever is basically a structural element that extends horizontally and has supported at only one end. The cantilever is the structures that are fixed at one end and free at another end. Cantilever structures are widely used in the construction of cantilever bridges, cantilever slab, and balconies. The best example of the…
Kerbs In Roads The top of the kerbs should be 100 mm above the road surface. With the pavement, the kerb is laid on a concrete bed of at least 100 mm thickness. At least 150 mm to provide lateral support the kerbing should be provided. To the concrete level, kerbs can be tapped. the…
What Is Concrete Resurfacing? Concrete resurfacing is the process to provide a brand new look to damaged concrete. In the process of resurfacing of concrete, a concrete coating is applied on the surface of existing concrete. Concrete resurfacing is a time-consuming process, and it’s very much labour-intensive process so, it’s a little bit expensive…
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…
What is Rolling Margin? The rolling margin is the difference between the actual weight of round bars (Reinforcement) Vs. Theoretical weight of round bars. This theoretical weight of round bars picks in IS Codes. IS Codes 1786: 2008 ( High Strength Deformed Steel Bars and Wires for Concrete Reinforcement, Fourth Revision), this picks in Table-1…
Introduction of False Ceiling The ceiling is the first thing which a person noticed whenever we entered the room. The Trend of Flat slabs in our home is fallen and nowadays there is a great demand for False Ceiling for the interior of the home. A false ceiling is basically an Artificial roof which is…
What Is Bitumen? The bitumen is the binding material that is present in asphalt. It also sometimes called mineral tar. It is obtained by partial distillation of crude petroleum. It is chemically a hydro-carbon. It is insoluble in water, but it completely dissolves in carbon disulfide chloroform, alkalies, alkaline, carbonates, petroleum spirit, and oil of…
