DE-SHUTTERING OF CONCRETE. In this Article I will show you that what is the formwork removal time Or De-shuttering of formwork in detail. briefly explains the process required for de-shuttering of formwork as well as the time period to remove the formwork from column, walls, beam, slab, staircase, foundation footing etc. The removal of concrete […]

In this construction article i will teach you the different types of cement and their uses in construction works. Because for different construction works we used  different type of cement, therefore its depend on the construion works. Types of Cement and the uses.  RAPID HARDENING CEMENT  SULFATE RESISTING CEMENT  HYDROPHOBIC CEMENT  PORTLAND BLAST FURNACE CEMENT […]

Top Down Construction are commonly used in congested areas. These can be installed in close proximity to existing structure with minimal loss of support to existing foundations. In addition, construction dewatering is not required, so there is no associated subsidence. Top Down Construction are practically suited in the construction of deep basements , Metro Railway […]

This construction video tutorial presented by Sami Ullah, the renowned civil engineer, will guide you to how to drawing study for septic tank. Plan of Septic Tank – We have taken the scale – ¼ inch = 1 feet. The length of the septic tank is 10 feet and 3 inches. The breadth of the […]

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 […]
