Different types of foundations will be selected based on the soil density, bearing capacity to make the structure strong and durable. However, a small amount of…
The bearing capacity of the soil determines the type of foundation selection. The maximum capacity of the soil that supports the structural load without any shear…
We knew that the improper compaction of concrete would reduce the strength of the concrete element. Same applies for soil. Both the compaction and consolidation process…
The primary function of the foundation is to transmit the different types of loads from the structure to the ground soil. There are two major…
There are various types of foundations used to build structures based on the bearing capacity of the soil, type of building, and other parameters. We have…
The aggregates are classified based on shape, size, density, Geographical Origin. We have discussed the same in detail on the classification of aggregates. Based on their…
The aggregates are inevitable materials that are mixed with other binding materials in fixed proportions to make concrete in construction. Aggregates are the building blocks of…
The foundation is a vital part of any structure which transfers all types of loads to the ground. There are several types of foundations used in…
In an earlier post, we have discussed how to calculate the material for concrete? & now we are going to see how to calculate the volume…
