How heavy is concrete per cubic meter?
Concrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot.
Can't do the math but that is about 4500 pounds.

nothing, there is no possible answer
Will subtracting the invert level of a manhole from the cover level give depth of manhole?
Yes it will give
What is non-contingent reinforcement?
Non-contingent reinforcement refers to reinforcers that are presented freely with no required responses. Basically whether or not the responses occur, reinforcers will be delivered; opposed to contingent reinforcement where reinforcers are only given once the desired response has occurred.
Believe it or not the popular slang term Guy for (man) may apply, they were originally called Man-ropes intended for manual carriage to the job site, perhaps, and then Guy=wire evolved. Might also have something to do with Guidon, a type of pennant used by the Cavalry and roughly meaning Guide-Man from the French Guide-Homme.There may be some rough connection with Gaffs as in ship rigging, also.
Advantages of Steel versus concrete tanks?
Concrete water tank has rough surface so collects dirt and bacteria.It's base line cracks result in water contamination.
And flat bottom will not allow complete drainage of hose pressure water with chemicals resulting in contamination of incoming water.So chlorine causes degradation of the tank surface that provides room for bacteria growth.
Difference between strength stiffness?
Strength and stiffness are not the same thing. Here's an analogy: A rubber band is stretched to failure. The rubber band failed at five pounds of force, but it stretched more than double its length before failure. The rubber band was not very stiff. In fact, it was elastic. Next, we stretch a kite string and find that it also fails at five pounds. It only stretched five percent before failure. It is very stiff. Both the rubber band and the kite string have the same ultimate strength. However, one is very stiff and the other is very flexible. This should demonstrate that strength and stiffness are not the same thing, and they are dependent upon the chosen material. Furthermore, the shape of the material also determines its stiffness without affecting its ultimate strength. For instance, if we take a plastic ruler that is 1/8" thick and 1" wide and bend it in the flat direction it is obvious that it is flexible. However, if we try to bend across the 1" thickness we find that it is very stiff. This demonstrates that the shape of the material causes the stiffness to change. We can take a piece of metal with a given weight and length and change its stiffness by making it narrower and thicker. Conversely, we can make it more flexible by making it wider and thinner.
when the length of the slab is more or equal to twice the breadth hence it has to be one way slab.
Ferroconcrete, or ferrocrete, was a composite building material made from the combination of concrete and iron that was molecularly bonded to produce a substance with exceptional resistance to wear and tear. ( Wikimedia ).
The difference in level between the height of the mould and that of the highest point of the subsided concrete is measured. This difference in height in mm. is taken as Slump of Concrete.
Both schools have the appropriate regional accreditation. Therefore, the coursework and degree you complete at either school will be recognized by all other colleges and universities, as well as employers. It is going to be a matter of preference. You will have to research each institution and decide on which school meets your personal needs, wants, and desires. Read the following carefully, and follow through on the link provided.
You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links section (College Board) indicated below this answer box, which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.
It is livable area and is calculated by deducting circulation area occupied by bathroom,toilet and air-conditioning rooms etc from the total floor area.
Where is the world's largest indoor snow park?
The world's largest indoor ski area is SnowWorld Landgraaf, the Netherlands (opened 2001) with a total of 35,000 m² of snow. In 2003, the first indoor snowboard FIS WorldCup contest was held in SnowWorld Landgraaf. The world's longest indoor slope with 640 m is in the AlpinCenter in Bottrop/Germany and the world's first indoor black diamond (difficulty rating) with a 31 percent grade is in the SnowFunPark in Wittenburg/Germany. In November 2007 Chill Factore in Manchester, UK opened making it the worlds widest slope at 100m wide at the bottom. In spring 2008 construction started on a fourth 500 metre ski slope at SnowWorld Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. After completion SnowWorld Zoetermeer will be, once again, the largest indoor ski area in the world. From Wikipedia
