What is hydrographic surveying?
In civil engineering, measurement of earth surface under water. Eventually, it leads to calculation of volume of water held (or flowing through) depressions on earth surface.
Since, underwater surfaces are not directly accessible for measurement a separate technology called sounding is used to measure the depth of surface from water surface. Sounding methods may vary from running a long string with a sink to the bed of water body to sending an ultrasonic vibration to measure the time of return.
What are frameworks for concrete beam?
As I would interpret the question, I would refer to the nature of reinforcing to be placed within the concrete. Often in large beams, the reinforcing steel may be made up separately in "cages" and set in place for the concrete pour. The reinforcing may be comprised of shear, bending, torsional, and specialized support components.
What h-piling is in civil engineering?
H piles are similar to W sections, resembling what folks have always called I beams. They are sectionally designed to allow more effective transmission of moment and axial load than W sections which are largely used in for structural steel beams.
Which is better an angle iron or a pipe?
Heavier Angle iron is often used as a structural element in building and bridges, while lighter angle iron is used for a variety of supports such as an adjustable bed frame. Pound for pound angle is more rigid than standard pipe.
What is the meaning of the solid slab?
A solid slab is a reinforced concrete slab which is supported by beams or walls..
What are the importance of pressure bulb?
The Zone in a loaded soil mass bounded by any arbitrary isobar is known as a pressure bulb. The vertical pressure at any point on the surface of the pressure bulb is the same.
Formula to calculate the wall thickness for pipe?
t = PxDxA/2E
where,
t = thickness
P = pressure
D = pipe Diameter
A = factor of safety
E = tensile strength of pipe
Where does the maximum bending moment occur in a simply supported beam?
It depends on the loading conditions of the beam, it will generally occur close to the middle of the span.
Where do stresses occur in a loaded beam?
Stress occur everywhere in the beam.
Maximum occur at mid span and at support of simply supported beams and cantilever beams respectively - M. Velsamy, Mobile 9884585625
Compressive strength of 53grade opc cement?
The compressive strength of 53 grade ordinary portland cement is 53 N/mm2 at 28 days.
What is the logical application of grade beam foundation construction?
Grade beams works as frame and take the load of slab and diverse to the ground
What is temperature of concrete pouring at site?
Temprature of concrete while pouring at site should be in the range 23 to 28 degree C.
How do you calculate the spray rate of asphalt prime coat?
AR = RAR / RAC
Where: AR = application or shot rate of undiluted prime
RAR = specified residual application rate
RAC = residual asphalt content of prime
There is good agreement in the literature on application rates. The Asphalt Institute recommends application rates of 0.9 to 2.3 L/m2 (0.2 to 0.5 gal/yd2) for MC cutbacks and 0.5 to 1.4 L/m2 per 25 mm of depth (0.1 to 0.3 gal/yd2/in depth) for asphalt emulsions. Others recommend from 0.65 L/m2 to 2.0 L/m2 (0.15 to 0.45 gal/yd2)
. Application rates should vary based on the openness of the base and no more prime should be placed than can be absorbed by the granular base in 24 hours. Any excess should be removed with blotter sand.
What are the application of pH test in civil engineering?
pH stands for "potential Hydrogen". In the field of civil engineering, pH is a factor that is considered in corrosion control, coagulation and water softening. All the pH related processes are controlled by civil engineers. pH test is beneficial to check the A controlled value of pH is desired in water supplies, sewage treatment and chemical process plants.
What is tension and compression?
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.
Procedures in constructing a raft foundation?
Raft foundation is reinforced concrete slab that is supported on a compacted hardcore base that is bigger than the raft. The procedures in construction the foundation involves checking the soil properties, and making the edge of the raft stepped to make a toe so the outer leaf of the wall goes below ground. The slab is reinforced with steel, a radon barrier is added, and a damp proof course is put in.
What is more fire resistant steel or concrete?
Concrete is much more fire resistant. This is shown by the design of reinforced concrete structure where the steel is placed within the concrete. A major reason is that the concrete protects the steel from any fire. Steel only construction requires the steel to be covered in a fire protection material.
