Plumbing Questions can be Solved Quickly and Cheap

Plumbing problems occur suddenly after a short period of time signs that we often ignore. When we decide to do something about the small leaking we saw in the kitchen or in the bathroom, usually its too late. Than we mus call a plumber, we must change the damaged element, to pay for both. But, it […]

Revit Software Offers Many Tools for Modeling Reinforcement Concrete

Revit software is what many architects and especially engineers use particularly as a tool for modeling concrete reinforcement.  Revit software is offering various tools useful for 3D modelling of the concrete reinforcement in a cutting-edge Building Information Modeling (BIM) surrounding. For complete, comprehensive, and precise reinforcement designs there are many tools optimized and helpful for the process of […]

Stair Calculator that will Help any Engineer or Curious Homeowner

The stairs as they are the best decor in home’s hall, are very interesting building challenge. Depending of the height, frequency of use in future and other parameters, the architects and engineers should decide the right stair type and construction. Making the right choice and exact measurements will bring stable, strong and functional staircase that […]

Bamboo is the Best Alternative to Steel Reinforcement

A steel-reinforced concrete, is so much needed material in the countries in a development. But, many of the do not have it and is very expensive and too much needed to buy or produce it. But, in order to be saved such a crises the Laboratory of Future Cities in Singapore suggested the bamboo as a […]

Helpful Road Cross Section Information

The road observed as a cross section shows the mystery of holding all that weight (Helpful Road Cross Section Information). Above the natural soil and the sub grade are the layers of drainable aggregate rock base, asphalt base, asphalt binder, polymer asphalt binder, polymer asphalt surface course. These layers are regularly set in this order […]

How to Reinforce a Retaining Wall

This construction video is based on a construction sequence animation. The animation is created for arranging the reinforcement of a single retaining wall panel. Some useful information on Retaining Walls: A retaining wall must hold all the soil between itself and the failure plane. The failure plane is the angle at which the soil can retain […]

Brief overview of Road Cambers

This construction video will provide information on the road camber and its types. Road camber refers to the slope that is arranged in crosswise direction in highways. There are three types of road cambers like sloped camber, parabolic camber and composite camber. Camber is useful for discharging rain water from road surface as rain water […]

Reinforcement Columns

Consider a column with cross section 300×300. This is the smallest allowable column section when seismic behavior is required. It is reinforced with 4 longitudinal bars and one stirrup. The cross section described is not generally used but it was chosen in this introductory paragraph for training purposes. The column has a length of 2.70 […]

How to compute materials in Plain Cement Concrete

This construction video will briefly teach you how to measure the binding material, fine and coarse aggregates determination for Plain Cement Concrete (PCC). Initially, the estimation is made for cement then sand and finally for crushed stone. Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) refers to the construction material that is usually applied as the binding materials. It […]
