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 displacement will happen during construction or after the construction of the structure by the load occurrence regardless of the foundation. What is meant by…
What is a gravity dam? A structure that is constructed in such a way that its own (self) weight of the material is used to resist the external force (pressure) created by the water and other materials is known as gravity dam. It is constructed either by concrete or by…
As we all know, the column’s primary function is to transfer the load from the beam to the foundation. Here we are going to discuss the effective length. What is it? and how it differs for different types of columns. What is the length of the column? The column’s length…
Another little confusing task in construction is calculating the number of steps for a staircase.But it simply easy when you understand the method of calculation.
The typical scenario maybe like this. So I had so much space under my parking lot. Can I build a giant water tank in here? So that I don’t need to worry about the storage issue anytime. Big No! Water Tank Capacity Requirement Be it underground or overhead water tanks…
A little confusing thing in building construction is a design of septic tank and soak pit for the households.
The capacity of the soil that supports the structural load to the ground without any shear failure or settlement is called safe bearing capacity of the soil.
