Blockboard has engineered compound plywood which comprises softwood stripes. These softwood stripes are joined edge to edge and then glued together under high pressure. The standard size of the blockboard is 2440 x 1220 x 30 millimeters but it is available in different sizes. Blockboard is used in furniture, articles that needed light-weight veneering, that … Read more
The reinforced concrete beam which is constructed on the ground level is known as the grade beam. Mostly it is used to connect pile caps in pile foundation. The functions of a grade beam are very different from a wall footing because a grade beam is designed for bending. A grade beam is normally a … Read more
Floor Space Index (FSI), is the ratio of the total floor area of a structure (Built-up area) to the total Plot area (land). Floor Space Index (FSI) is also known as Floor Area Ratio (FAR). This numeric value of the Floor Space Index addresses the total amount of area (on all floors) you can build … Read more
Canal fall is a solid masonry structure that is made on the canal if the natural ground slope is steeper than the designed channel bed slope. If the difference in slope is little, a single fall can be made, but If it is higher then falls are made at regular intervals. Types of Canal Falls: … Read more
Silica fume or micro silica is an amorphous polymorph of silicon dioxide and silica. Silica fume is an ultrafine powder. It is a silicon and ferrosilicon alloy. Micro silica consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 nm. It is a very reactive pozzolana due to its chemical and physical properties. When silica fume is used … Read more
The ratio of the effective length of a column (Le) and the least radius of gyration (r) about the axis under consideration are known as the Slenderness ratio. It is indicated by the “λ” (lambda). The slenderness ratio is called about the minor axis of cross-section and major axis of the cross-section. Effective slenderness ratio of the section … Read more
Normally, materials are subjected to external forces when they are utilized. Mechanical Engineers figure out those powers and material researchers how materials disfigure or break as a component of power, time, temperature, and different conditions. Materials researchers find out about these mechanical properties by testing materials. A portion of the significant mechanical properties of the … Read more
A coupling is a gadget or mechanical device that is used to connect two shafts together. Shafts are joined together at their ends for power transmission. The basic role of couplings is to join two bits of turning hardware while allowing some level of misalignment or end development or both. The coupling can likewise be … Read more
What is Vernier Caliper? Vernier Caliper is an instrument for making accurate linear measurements. It was made by Pierre Vernier in the year 1631. The primary scale of the Vernier resembles a ruler and a particularly graduated auxiliary scale, the vernier, that slides corresponding to the primary scale and empowers readings to be made to a fraction … Read more
Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a set of technologies used to remove harmful gas such as sulfur dioxide from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants. In this technique, sulfur dioxide is also removed from the emissions of other sulfur oxide emitting processes such as waste incineration. In the Flue-Gas Desulfurization process, wastewater is produced, this wastewater must … Read more
