How far can 1.75 x 11.75 Lam beam span without a support?

That depends on what it carries.

All joist/beam manufacturers have span tables that will help you determine this.

How does shear strength of fine sand effect by void ratio?

Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand. These two features governs the critical state shear strength parameters of the sand. Density, however, dictates the peak shear strength of the sand. i.e. the denser the sand, the higher the peak shear strength. But the critical shear strength remain the same. The denser the sand, the lower the void ratio. Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand.

How much does US railroad rail iron weight in lbs per ft?

Anywhere between 75 and 175 pounds per Yard devide by three for foot weight

What are the functions of wet mix macadam?

wet mix mecadam is a base layer of DBM bonding b/w WMM and DBM is too good and we can compact the WMM fully..........

The differences between kicker and kickerless formwork?

the only difference is for the next pour of concrete your formwork should be on a perfectly set layout. You dont have a STARTER to place your formwork against, so more precision is required for the next lift of concrete.

What are the types of insurance in construction industry?

The major types of insurance in the construction industry are

  • Insurance of the works, Plants &Equipmentagainst lose, damage etc also called contractor's all risk (CAR) insurance
  • Third party insurance (insurance against third party property damage or lose)
  • Workers compensation insurance
  • Professionalindemnityinsurance
Rarely some countries like in the middle east have decennial insurance (for period of 10yrs after construction)

Can Honda gold wing 1800 tire pressure be reduced from factory recommendation when load is only half of maximum capacity?

I would refer you to www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/infocenter_tiretips.asp?id=31#tip The site offers good, factual information. TK

Moment of inertia is a cross sectional property that gives the engineer an indication of the stiffness of a particular shape value can used to?

find the strength of the member subject to bending or shear. Moment of inertia is used to find radius of gyratia or flexural regidity so that member strength flexural stress is found

How do mature age students study civil engineering at university?

What are you talking about? They do it the same as everyone else...bend over and take it!

What is conceptual design and detailed design?

conceptual design is just a rough draft picture (usually many) that lead up to the basic idea you are drawing. detailed design is similar but further along the design process and more detailed , hence the name.

What are the primary functions of a reinforced concrete service core?

- Provide Load Bearing Structure for other members- Reticulate Services through

- Fire Protection

- Usually used to put a lift shaft in

How do you calculate oval and square for tmt bars rolling?

TMT bar oval weight

Stand oval size in mm

like 12mm size bar oval size-12*.8=9.6kg/m

What makes reinforced beam column fail?

First, there is not enough information to properly answer this question. Second, are you needing information on a column or a beam or both? A column is vertical and beam is horizontal. What is the material being used? Wood deflects and has elastic properties that diminish as the wood dries out and ages. Steel has great tensile strength but little elasticity, and fails rapidly under heat. Concrete is great in compression but has little or no tensile strength or elasticity. What are the signs of failure? Are they fractures, stretching, bowing, cracking, shrinking, etc. As you can see there is a lot more to failure than did the roof fall in. if you can answer these questions maybe I can be of assistance.

What is the role of ties in columns?

Ties hold the forms together to ensure the forms stay in place when you pour in the concrete for the column.

The above answer is incorrect. Ties have essentially nothing to do with forming concrete. They hold longitudinal rebar in place, not the formwork. They also provide shear resistance to the column as well as prevent the longitudinal rebar from buckling.

Is wevac university accredition is accepted by the other universities?

Wevac University does not offer accreditation. It is an accredited university itself. Perhaps you need to understand how academic accreditation system works. In the United States, accredited colleges and universities are considered legitimate. In order to get accreditation these schools and colleges present themselves for review to an accreditation agency. Accreditation agencies are non-profit organizations running the program on peer review process.

What is the process of power sem in be ? Plz sent the details...

What are the differences between soil bulk density and particle density?

Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t)

Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).
