Estimation (or estimating) is the process of finding an estimate, or approximation, which is a value that is usable for some purpose even if input data may be incomplete, uncertain, or unstable. The value is nonetheless usable because it is derived from the best information available.Typically, estimation involves “using the value of a statistic derived […]

In this construction video tutorial, Sami Ullah, the renowned civil engineer will provide some useful guidance on center line method to find out the quantity for foundation. Center line method is used to compute the quantities of various items in a building like earth work in excavation, concrete in foundation, brick work in foundation and […]

What is 53 Grade CEMENT? If you go for 53 grade cement, you will get compression strength of 53 mpa (mega pascals) in 28 days. 53 grade cement is available in ordinary mode as well as in special mode. If the initial strength is to be achieved very quickly, it is required to go for […]

Wall footing design is attained with some conjectures that should be contemplated while designing. Linear distribution of soil pressure is considered as the first assumption. If the resultant of soil pressure conforms to the resultant of soil force then this can be only obtained otherwise not. As the rotation of footing can be got rid […]

In this construction video, one can gather knowledge on how to create the design of a rectangular sedimentation tank or settling tank. In the video, while making design calculation, solution is given to the following problem :- problem #1 :- Design a rectangular sedimentation tank for a population of one lac persons. Rate of water […]

Column Design with Excel RCC Column A column is a very important component in a structure. It is like the legs on which a structure stands. It is designed to resist axial and lateral forces and transfer them safely to the footings in the ground. Columns support floors in a structure. Slabs and beams transfer […]

Different Types of Steel and Their Uses INTRODUCTION OF STEEL:   The different between cast iron and steel is different amount of their carbon contents. Alloys in which the iron mixes with carbon and also other element to become steel. And high carbon steel percentage should be not greater than from 1.5% TYPES OF STEEL […]

References are very important component in the designing and the planning. Generally, although we learn all the numbers and types of calculations during the studies, we still need to consult some guide books. Thus, when we speak of the bathrooms, they are one of the most complicated parts of the residential areas. That is because […]

In a construction project there are specific areas where a contractor requires the assistance of an expert subcontractor. The objective of a general contractor is to handle the entire activities and performance among subcontractors. A subcontractor can be shortlisted and selected on the basis of various points like past performances, financials and other important factors. […]
