WHAT IS BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL? In Civil Engineering Bearing Capacity is the capacity of soil which support the applied the load safely to the ground. DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOIL BEARING CAPACITY IN KG/M2 Different types of soil and their Bearing capacit in kg/m2 1: Sand Clay Mixture  = 15000 kg/m2 2: Black Cotton Soil  […]

In this construction article, you will learn the detailed process for determining the capacity of Sump/Tank or the quantity of water to be preserved in the tank/sump. For this purpose, initially, one should require length, width and depth of your sump/tank in feet. Now, multiply the length, width and depth of the sump to determine […]

Construction materials play an important role in building industries. Now-a-day, high-rise structures are frequently constructed in different countries. This becomes possible due to technological advancements specifically in the formation of concrete. The concrete is produced by cement. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) are mostly recognized all through the globe. Ordinary Portland […]

In this construction article, one can get useful information on mostly used fixed (non-movable) bridge types. Generally, the bridges are categorized on the basis of the following four main factors. a. span (simple, continuous, cantilever), b. material (stone, concrete, metal, etc.), c. lacement of the travel surface in relation to the structure (deck, pony, through), […]

The civil engineering students often find it difficult to remember various crucial formulas for slope and deflection in beam. In this construction video tutorial, the students will be familiar with a simple algorithm that will simplify the process greatly. Generally, the following issues occur with beam :- A cantilever beam is dependent on a concentric […]

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS. Minimum 1 inch spacing between bars in beams according to ACI code. Curtailment at ends in case of simply supported beams L/8 from face of support. For continuous beams curtailment at L/3. Maximum spacing for stirrups is 12 inch. If reinforcement is provided in two layers then 1 inch distance […]

DESIGN OF WATER When You want to Design water Tank for a Small Family or School ,  House , College and Industries etc. So First Of All we have to Find Out the average of water for per/day/capita. Let to Start Start the Example  that how to Design the Water Tank for a Small family. […]

Material reduce the cost of cement concrete slab What is Bubble Deck ? It is a revolutionary flooring system, which has proved to be highly successful throughout Europe since its development began ten years ago. BubbleDeck comprises a hollow, flat slab that spans in two directions, in which plastic balls are incorporated to replace, and […]

To become a successful civil engineer, the following knowledge is essential :- Building materials testing processes Concrete Test : Slump test, compression test, split tensile test, soundness Soil Test : Core cutter test, compaction test, sand replacement test, triaxial test, consolidation test etc. Bitumen Test : Ductility test, softening point test, gravity test, penetration test […]

The load of structure is coming on the soil. So we need to know the bearing capacity of the soil. Bearing capacity of soil is used to indicate the maximum load per unit area which is determined by a) Method of loading or b) Method of dropping weight. Dividing the ultimate soil bearing capacity by […]
