Evaporation: Evaporation is the process by which water gets converted from liquid to vapor. Evaporation occurs below the boiling point of the liquid. In an enclosed environment, a liquid will evaporate till the surrounding air gets saturated. The rate of Evaporation depends on various factors as follows. Estimation Methods Of Evaporation: Evaporation can be measured … Read more
Concrete Mix Design is the procedure of selecting suitable proportions of cement, sand, and aggregates for concrete to achieve the desired strength in structures. In the Concrete Mix Design process each and every ingredient of concrete is tested in the laboratory. The Mix Design process is normally implemented for the structure that needs higher grades … Read more
What is Retaining Wall? A retaining wall is a structural wall that is designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil. Lateral pressure can occur due to earth filling, liquid pressure, sand, and other granular materials behind the retaining wall. In other words, A retaining wall is a structure that retains material behind … Read more
Introduction Of Darcy Weisbach Equation Darcy Weisbach Equation is an empirical equation in fluid mechanics named upon Henry Darcy and Julius Weisbach. The Darcy Weisbach Equation associates the loss of pressure or head loss due to friction along the given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid. To … Read more
What Is Honeycomb In Concrete? Honeycomb define as rough, pitted surfaces or voids in concrete resulting from the incomplete filling of the concrete against the Formwork. The surface looks very rough with a void and gap between concrete and reinforcement. It resembles the Honeycomb. Honeycomb is a very serious problem that not only decreases the … Read more
Trimix concrete flooring is a very strong type of flooring that is usually found in places where heavy machines are used. This type of flooring can handle a lot of wear and tear without getting damaged. The reason why it’s mostly used in industrial settings is because it can support light weight cranes, carrier vehicles … Read more
In this article you will learn about bulking Of sand. It is also called as sand bulkage. What Is Bulking Of Sand? When Sand contains moisture, the water forms a thin film around the sand particles. This increases the distance between the particles thereby increasing the volume of the Sand. This phenomenon is called the … Read more
Before starting a description of Epoxy Coated Rebar, we will know about Rebar. Rebar is an abbreviation used for reinforcement bar. Rebar is important to compensate for the fact that whilst concrete is very good to resist compressive force, it is relatively weak in tension. By casting rebar into concrete, it is able to carry … Read more
In this article, we will describe the perfect truss, imperfect or deficient truss, and redundant truss. First, let’s know what is Truss. A Truss is a structure consisting of straight Slender Rods connected only at their joint. Slender Rod – If the diameter of rods is smaller compared to its length then this type of rod … Read more
Methods Of Structural Design Structural design can be accomplished using three primary methods: working stress, limit state, and ultimate load. Initially, the working stress method was utilized for designing both Reinforced Concrete and Steel structures. However, due to certain drawbacks of the working stress method, the Ultimate Load method was introduced. In recent times, most … Read more
