Everything about Civil Engineering
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 […]
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 […]
Reinforcement in the construction is used to help concrete withstand tension forces. That means making the construction stronger and long lasting doing the main function it has. The construction of staircase out of concrete (especially for outdoor staircase) is good to be rebar reinforced with the steel. The video bellow will show you the process […]
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 […]
Superelevation is actually the amount by which the outer edge of a curve on a road or railroad is banked above the inner edge (Tips About Highway Superelevation Design). This is the most important point when the highway is constructed and designed. The vehicles that will use the road need to be safe even they […]
We all love our cars, especially when we’ve bought it after much hard work (Road Engineers Should Know These Road Building Techniques). And we are all so furious when the roads we are driving it on are not smooth or in decent shape for a ride. Roads hold the weight of so many vehicles driving […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
In internal concrete and wood floors the resistance to sound transmission is achieved by several ways(The Ways of making a Soundproof Floor). First is the mass of the floor, applying sound-insulating material at some point of manufacture, and the formation of voids between a heavy element of construction (e.g., concrete slab) and a thin and […]
