What else can I help you with?
How would you describe the process of concrete setting?
Concrete setting is initiated by a process called hydration. Rather than the concrete just 'drying out', the hydration process involves the water added to the materials (stone, sand & cement) reacting with the cement. The water reacts with calcium in the cement to form an alkali paste which bonds the materials together. Adding too little water means not enough cement hydrates to set properly, but too much will cause separation of the materials.
Diffeece between nominal mix and design mix?
a nominal mix is that mix in which we adopt the various ingredients such as1:2:3,1:2.5:4etc here the strength will not be the desired strength and generally here we take the ingredients per unit vol a design mix is that mix in we find the ratio of the different ingredients as per the desired strength and the ingredients would be in per unit weight
Why shear is not considered in design of columns?
shear is not critical in designing normal columns (3-5 meter height). but in short columns (Pedestals) around 1meter height or less, shear would be more critical rather than moment or axial force. this also happens for beams less than two meter length in moment resistant frames.
What is the main role of maintenance in building works?
If a building is not properly maintained then it will fall down sooner rather than later
Is it tension or compression that strengthens an arch that supports the load?
compression: the keystone in particular is under rather high compression forces.

Is it expensive to design a built in oven?
It can get rather expensive, depending on the layout of the oven. Studies have shown that there is an incredibly dramatic price range in built-in ovens, so you may need to prepare to make an expensive purchase.
Is fashion design a STEM career?
It's artistic rather than scientific or engineering, but you still have to understand the materials and their uses and working methods.
Is it true that there are about 100 different molecules that combine to form materials?
It is true that there are many different molecules that can combine to form materials. The exact number can vary depending on the specific materials in question, but there are certainly more than 100 different types of molecules that contribute to the vast array of materials we encounter in daily life.
Would you pay 270 dollars for a huge crocheted blanket?
overall it depends on the condition, design and materials used. If it was HAND MADE (vs machine made(, if it is made of wool rather than acrylic, if it is in good condition rather than worn, if the design is complicated or simple. In general, I would if it were hand crocheted, of 100% virgin wool or better (cashmere!), a pleasing design and in good condition, sure!

Where can my friend sell his designs for t-shirts for a fair price?
It would be better to launch a t-shirt design website rather than pay for a store front as the overheads can get very expensive. One can promote the design websites on blogs and pay to advertise the tshirts on popular sites.
What does synthetic mean-in-design-technology?
In design technology, "synthetic" refers to the integration and combination of various materials, components, or processes to create new products or systems. It often involves the use of artificial or engineered materials, rather than natural ones, to enhance performance, functionality, or aesthetics. This approach allows designers to innovate and optimize designs for specific applications, improving efficiency and sustainability in the development process.
Is fracking cheap?
No, it is rather expensive to pump the fluids and detritus at those high pressures. And appropriate fluids are not cheap materials either. It just needs to be cheaper than the alternative methods of recovering the oil/gas from the underground formations.
