How to verify if the column can support the applied load or force

In this construction video some useful tips are provided to verify whether the column can support the applied load. In the video, the solution is given for the following problem question : – Can the given mild steel column bear 1500 kips load? if the column is 8ft long, 10 x 10 in as section […]

How to compute steel for triangular slab

In this construction video tutorial, you can find the detailed process for estimating steel for the slabs which are constructed in triangular shapes. The process is simple and straight forward. Initially you have to discover the cutting length for each bar and then total weight of bars necessary for triangular slab. There are six types […]

Detail processes for creating the design of RCC Column with foundation

Reinforced Cement Concrete column is a part and parcel of RCC frame structured building. Reinforced concrete foundations are designed on the basis of column loads and moments at base and the soil data.   It belongs to a vertical member that delivers loads from slab and beam directly to succeeding soil. The entire building rests […]

Standard garage dimensions and measurements by length, width, and height.

Single Garage So let’s start with a single garage.  Everything on the diagram below is pretty self explanatory. width – 12ft / 3.65m minimum length – 20ft / 6m minimum door width – 9ft / 2.7m minimum The minimum dimensions are sufficient for our mini and our Ford Mondeo but the Ram wouldn’t fit in […]

How to estimate the weight of a mild steel plate

By watching this exclusive construction video, you will be familiar with the method for measuring the weight of mild steel plate. The video is based on a MS square shaped steel plate and length of that plate is 1 meter, breadth is 1 meter and its thickness is 10 mm or 0.01 meter. In order […]

Concept of similarity of triangles and Pythagoras theorem for construction work

This construction video tutorial is based on the theorem of Similarity of Triangles & Pythagoras. The concept is very useful in case you are going to find out bar bending schedule of any staircase. If two angles concerning a triangle contain measures similar to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles […]

How to recognize whether a truss is perfect or not

This construction video provides detailed information on how to choose perfect trusses for building structure. In engineering term, a truss is known as a structure that comprises of two-force members only. Here the members are arranged in such a way that the assemblage performs as a single object. A “two-force member” stands for a structural […]
