Concrete Mix Design: Methods, and Benefits for Structures

Concrete has been made with different types of materials including water, cement, and aggregates such as sand or gravel. The mixture of concrete was made based on the construction needs. The design of the concrete mix is one of the important processes which can be done by following several steps, calculations and laboratory testing processes which help to determine the optimal ratio or proportion of the ingredients which is required for making concrete mix design. This concrete mix design helps to achieve the desired strength and durability of the concrete.

How to draw Civil Engineering Drawings

Engineering drawings refer to the technical representations of systems, objects or structures. Engineering drawings help to provide detailed information which is essential for constructing a specific project. The engineering drawings have been used in various aspects including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, technical engineering and civil engineering. The key features of the engineering drawings help to provide comprehensive insights into the project.

Concept about Construction Software Technologies

Construction software technologies also known as construction management software which helps to build connections between the team members of the construction project. These construction software also involves in making connection between the construction processes and the data, improves the control of the construction project as well as helps to unlock the data-driven insights over the construiton projects.

Steps in Construction of Residential Building

A series of routine tasks has been completed during the construction of a residential building. Lots of tedious work and time has been managed by the skilful workers to construct the residential building. The entire building's construction process has been divided into three phases which are preconstruction phase, construction phase, and post-construction phase.

what is pier foundation types, advantages and options for the proper type of foundation

What is Pier Foundation? | What are the types of Pier?

Pier Foundation helps to support the superstructure of the buildings. This large-diameter cylindrical column helps transfer the large super-imposed load of the buildings into the ground. This type of foundation stood several feet above the ground. This pier foundation can be constructed by digging a hole in the soil and filling that hole with stone or concrete. Pier foundation is also known as column foundation or post foundation.

Types of Stairs Used in Building Construction

Staircases are used as a way of moving from one level to another level in a building. Stairs are components of a building structure that help to serve as an emergency escape route in the case of fire. Staircase consists of a flight of steps which is considered as stairs and one or more immediate landing slabs between the levels of the floors.

Types of Stirrups Used in Construction and Their Applications

Stirrups are the structural elements which help to provide support to the reinforced concrete beams and columns in the construction structures including buildings, bridges, and other structures. Stirrups can be made of steel and are able to resist tensile forces that have occurred in the construction structure. The stirrup can bent to a rectangular or U shape and can be placed vertically at fixed intervals. The structural integrity of the concrete elements can be ensured in case the space between the Stirrups does not exceed a certain limit. The size and shapes of the Stirrups depend upon the load-bearing capacity and other requirement of the construction structures.

The Importance of Pavement Marking for Road Safety

Pavement marking which is also known as road marking, helps the drivers to understand the geometric profile of the road. Pavement marking helps to guide the drivers to drive into their designated lanes. The chance of traffic congestion and bottleneck has also been reduces by the pavement marking. Road marking or pavement marking can be made from a variety of paint and materials which have different properties including longevity, reflectivity, and anti-skid properties.

How Deep is the Foundation of a 3 Story Building

Foundation depth refers to the vertical distance between the bottom of the foundation elements and the base of the building structure. The foundation depth is crucial for a building to embed those structures securely into the ground. There should be proper planning and exhibition of those plans regarding the foundation depth and foundation reinforcement of a 3-storey building.

Building Maintenance Checklist for Commercial Facilities

Building maintenance is the process of upkeep, repair, and other important work that has been performed on a building to keep it safe, functional, and well-presentable to the people. Buildings can deteriorate over time, so, regular updates and maintenance are required to keep the building in good condition. In this regard, a well-planned maintenance strategy should be implemented for regular inspection of the building issues, repairing those issues, and maintaining the good condition of the buildings.

How to Calculate the Safe Bearing Capacity of Soil

Understanding the concept of Safe Bearing Capacity of Soil The safe bearing capacity indicates the maximum load that can be resisted by the soil without undergoing bearing failure. The safe bearing capacity of the soil has been expressed by the pressure per unit area which the soil can safely supported.

Main Components of Highway Design | Highway Construction

The width of the road, road pavements, curbs, traffic separators, road margins, cross slopes, and others are the main components of the Highway design. These design elements have been made based on the influence of the driver’s psychology along with the traffic of the region and the characteristics of the road. These components should be managed in a skillful manner to ensure the safety of the highway.

Different types of Structural Steel and their uses in Construction

Structural Steels are those steels that are widely used in construction works as well as architectural works. Structural Steels are usually available in the form of piping, channels, and elongated beams. The weight of the building structure or the construction structure has been supported by these types of steel. The different types of shapes of the structural steels are used to provide stability to the construction structure and also to strengthen the materials including concrete. Usually, the structural steels are made with rolled steels. Either hot-rolled steel or cold-rolled steel is used to form the structural steel.

How to Prepare a Bill of Quantities in Construction

Bill of Quantity or BoQ is a document that has been prepared by a cost consultant. The project-specific estimated quantities of the items that were pointed out while designing the building construction project were provided by the bill of quantities. A complete project design and specification should be prepared while preparing the bill of quantities. The quantities that have been listed within the bill of quantities have been measured in terms of weight, volume, time, number, or length. Generally in the case of large building construction projects, the bill of quantities is prepared.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to the digital representation of the functional as well as physical characteristics of the building construction project. BIM can be used by all types of project stakeholders, for example, engineers, architects, contractors, and owners. The data of the BIM model can be used throughout the lifecycle of the design projects. These types of data of the BIM model can be spatial relationships, quantities, geographic information, building component’s properties, and others.
