Details about leveling in surveying Levelling is a branch of surveying, the object of which is to: Find the elevation of a given point with respect to the given or assumed datum. Establish a point at a given elevation with respect to the given or assumed datum. Levelling is the parts and parcels of surveying and it is conducted […]

In this article we are going to present you a checklist for RCC Slab and beam.   1. Check Beam bottom’s line, level and width . 2. Check Beam side’s line, level and plumb. 3. Check Beam to beam measurements as per architectural drawings. 4. Check Individual level and diagonall of each slab bay. 5. […]

A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. The bridge is usually extended up to 6 m or over 6 m. There are […]

Mukesh Shah, the renowned engineer, explained in this tutorial how to calculate the horizontal distance at a construction site with an auto level machine. A circle is provided where two red lines intersect with each other and that it’s known as a crosshair. The two lines intersect the red line and it is known as stadia […]

If you want to use spreadsheet to estimate and budget your construction cost, The BuildingAdvisor can be the perfect choice for that task. The BuildingAdvisor spreadsheet includes all the formulas to not only estimate the construction cost, but also to tract the real cost, variance, payments made so far, and overall balances due. The BuildingAdvisor […]

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam’s axis. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam’s support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to produce shear forces and bending moments within the beam, that in turn induce internal stresses, strains […]

A handrail is a rail that is designed to be grasped by the hand so as to provide stability or support. Handrails are commonly used while ascending or descending stairways and escalators in order to prevent injurious falls. Handrails are typically supported by posts or mounted directly to walls and they can be designed form different materials and in different styles. […]

Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting the soil mass laterally so that the soil can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). There are several types […]

To prevent wastage of cement, it’s important to do following things. 01. Always Have Separate Godown For Cement: By no means never store cement with other products for instance fertilizer, gypsum based products or maybe food. A tiny quantity of contamination could have catastrophic effects on the overall performance of cement in mortars, plasters or concrete.Vice versa if cement bag gets split by accident then it can contaminate the food products, too. In addition, to govern moisture inside the godown, it should not be often opened. Courtesy – 123rf 02. […]

When it comes to stairs and arranging the space for their construction, people almost always counsel an architect or constructor. This vital step of the development is a bit threatening for the construction workers and the proprietors who are anticipating wonderful staircase after the construction. But it is uncommonly to see it in the development process. See the pictures and you will have a better understanding of this process of construction while it is developed step by step.   images by: architectureadmirers.com
