The Poisson’s ratio of concrete varies 0.1 to 0.2. Poisson’s ratio (ν) is a measure of the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain when a material is subjected to an axial load. Poisson’s Ratio Of Concrete When a concrete specimen is subjected to axial loads the ratio of transverse strain to the longitudinal strain … Read more
Introduction Of Septic Tank A septic tank can be described as a primary sedimentation tank with a large detention time (12 to 36 hours against a period of 2 hours in an ordinary sedimentation tank). In un-sewered rural and urban areas, septic tanks are appropriate for the disposal of night soil. But sufficient water must be … Read more
Tape Corrections in chain surveying is very important. The chain surveying performed by tape is expected to have some errors because of incorrect tape measurements. In an ordinary chaining survey, the errors are neglected. But for crucial and precise survey works in construction, accurate tape corrections are provided. In this article, various corrections provided for tape … Read more
