The calculation of deductions in plastering and painting works measurement has always been a challenge for site engineers. In this article, we discuss how to calculate the deductions in plastering and painting works as per IS Code. General Measurement of Plastering and Painting The plastering and painting works shall be measured in square meter and […]

Water treatment is the process of removing all those substances, whether biological, chemical, or physical, that are potentially harmful to the water supply for human and domestic use. This treatment helps to produce water that is safe, palatable, clear, colorless, and odorless. Water also needs to be non-corrosive, meaning it will not cause damage to pipework. […]

Cell-filled concrete pavement is the technology developed by IIT Kharagpur, which has proved to be a very promising solution for overloaded vehicles, inadequate drainage facilities, and waterlogging problems. Cell-filled concrete pavement consists of formwork of plastic cells over the compacted subgrade / sub-base, filled with concrete or stones. This article discusses the components, construction procedure, […]

The design of an axially loaded reinforced concrete (RC) short column is quite simple and straightforward. It is governed by the strength of materials and the cross-section of the member. If vertical axial loads act on the center of gravity of the column’s cross-section, it is termed as an axially loaded column. Axially loaded columns […]

The slenderness ratio of a reinforced concrete (RC) column is the ratio between the length of the column, its lateral dimensions, and end fixity. It assesses the ability of the reinforced concrete column to resist buckling pressure. The slenderness ratio is calculated by dividing the column length by its radius of gyration. The slenderness ratio […]

The Voyager Station will be the first commercial space station with a one-of-its-sort lavish hotel that can accommodate 400 individuals and offers exceptional scenes of our planet for travelers and scientists. Now, an excursion to the space won’t be limited to astronauts alone. Progressing beyond the plot of a science fiction film, individuals would now […]

The minimum curing period for concrete is controlled by the type of cement used, ambient temperature, type of construction (size and shape of concrete member), designated strength, and curing regime. For the majority of concrete structures, the minimum curing period at temperatures higher than 5°C is seven days or until the concrete strength reaches 70% […]

Continuous beams and one-ways slabs are statically indeterminate structures which i.e they cannot be analyzed using three equations of equilibrium developed to solve unknown moments and reactions of determinate members. That is why several methods such as slope deflection method, moment distribution method, displacement method and stiffness matrix, and ACI approximate method have been developed […]

A successful construction project is the result of effective construction management practices. So which are the behavioral attributes that make an effective construction manager? In my experience in the construction industry, I have seen that though most experienced project engineers have a good grasp over their technical toolkit, they lack in the relationship/behavioral aspect of […]
