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 […]
