The appearance of cracks in house is very common. Its occurrence and development are due to the differential stresses set up in the component of the house. The differential stresses results due to external loads (dead, live, wind or seismic loads).  It also results due to foundation movement and settlement of soil, thermal movements, moisture […]

This construction video is divided in two parts – part I and part II. In part I, you will learn how to design a column maintaining all checks and conditions. In part II video, one will learn how to design a footing. In this video (I), the column has to undergo 1400 kilo newton i.e. […]

Wall Plaster Calculator is an effective online tool that can provide solution to your computation and conversion requirements. This calculator facilitates to work out the quantity of cement and sand necessary for plastering a specified wall area. As soon as the quantities are determined, it becomes simpler to work out the cost with the existing […]

  We all know that footing is an inseparable part of foundation construction. They are built by the help of concrete with rebar reinforcement. The objective of footing is to provide adequate support to the foundation and restrain settling. Footings are especially crucial in the areas where soil condition is not up to the mark. […]

Usual dimensions can be very beneficial when you are starting with a home planning or redecorating. Generally, the standard dimensions can help you with the initial estimation of the property. Furthermore, the architects and the planner will plan the space according to the possibilities and the wishes. For that purpose, there is a video and […]

Usually, it should be examined when the footings are arranged for concreting i.e. reinforcement is completely engrossed but it is recommended to examine it in two phase i.e. 01. Initially verify formwork prior to arrange reinforcement. This is very useful because finding out & rectifying formwork defect is very difficult once the reinforcement is organized […]

This estimating spreadsheet is specifically created for designing truss. By using this spreadsheet one can design light gage truss on the basis of AISI S100/SI-10 & ER-4943P. The following design criterion is required for truss analysis. The intermediate, finite element analysis contains shear deformations with E & G equivalent to 29500 ksi & 11300 ksi. […]

In this construction video tutorial, detailed process is given for calculating the numbers of labors in excel sheet that is necessary for accomplishing PCC or concrete work. The number of necessary labors and their rates for PCC or concrete work are derived from a standard DSR Book. Microsoft Excel is considered as the most vital […]

In this illustration we will calculate cement, sand, crushed stone and of course steel for given water tank. RCC has 1:2:4 with 15 cm thickness PCC has 1:2:4 with thickness equal to 10 cm The slab is RCC having 1:2:4 with 10 cm thickness And of course there is a hole and the hole is […]
