Few days ago, engineer SL khan nicely demonstrated about the details of designing a square shaped reinforced concrete column with the help of the ACI codes. In today’s session of learning the author brought to you the most recent details on the topic of designing a circular shaped reinforced concrete column. This exclusive design is performed by […]

Are you facing any sort of trouble to design structural elements? You have not any kind of software to resolve the issue? Or you are unable to afford commercial software for design? Then you are at the right place at the moment by reading this article as this is going to share some excel sheets […]

This construction video provides some useful guidance for estimating the number of bricks, quantity of sand and quantity of cement in a brick wall. Here, you have to make assumptions on the following components :- Mortar ratio is taken as 1:6 i.e. one part cement and 6 part sand. The density of mortar is taken […]

This construction video provides valuable tips for estimating weight of steel for column. Here, the calculation is made on the basis of a previous column diagram. The dimension of the column = 300 mm x 300 mm = 0.3 meter. The height of the column is 3 meter. If, these 3 dimensions are multiplied with […]

Concrete mix design can be described as the method for choosing the perfect components of concrete as well as the relative proportions of concrete mix according to the ratios of cement, sand and coarse aggregates so as to form concrete of specific minimum strength and longevity as cost effectively as possible. The concrete mix design proportions are demonstrated with volume […]

Levelling is a division of surveying. Levelling belongs to the art of defining and demonstrating the proportionate heights or elevations of different points on the surface of earth. It is carried out for the following purposes:- i) To determine the elevations of specified points regarding a certain or anticipated datum ii) To settle points at a certain […]

Making precise estimates is the hardest part of the job for many small contractors. To get rid of this hurdle this cost construction estimation worksheet presents a list of items in which the client prefers to observe as a part of a construction building project before providing the final approval of the project. The estimating […]

We all know that manual method for something is quite time-consuming and not that easy to perform in some cases of calculation. Here in this informative tutorial you can watch the calculation process to determine the quantity of concrete volume of staircase. This tutorial generally comes in two different ways. The first one is the […]

Sami Ullah, the renowned engineer, presents this useful video for civil engineering students. In this construction video, you will learn how to produce a scale drawing in civil engineering. In civil engineering, scale signifies the proportion or ratio among the dimensions chosen for the drawing and the related dimensions of the object. Representing scales: The […]

Dimensions are an important part of planning and designing. Generally, all of the projects defer in size and shape. However, there are guidelines with proportions that are considered as a standard. Using these proportions, the work of the architects can be easier and faster. Also, these proportions are a result of a profound and thorough […]
