Types and Causes of Movements in Masonry Buildings

Movements in masonry structures are deformations generated by a variety of factors. The types and reasons of masonry structure movement are examined. There are a variety of elements that cause or cause deformations in masonry constructions, such as temperature fluctuations and changes in moisture content. These movements must be taken into account in order to… Read More »Types and Causes of Movements in Masonry Buildings

Acoustic Properties of Building Materials for Noise Control

The acoustic character of building materials and how sound is transferred through nearby structural elements determine the structure’s acoustic quality. Unwanted sound that is regarded a nuisance in residential or domestic buildings is referred to as noise. To have a good acoustic feature, the buildings must have sufficient sound insulation. Building sound insulation is a… Read More »Acoustic Properties of Building Materials for Noise Control

ENERGY AUDIT FOR BUILDINGS

The current world’s energy problem has prompted us to create new energy-efficient structures. Existing buildings, on the other hand, use a lot of conventional energy, and reducing it will help us save it for the future. It would also assist us in meeting the Energy Efficiency criteria. The initial expenses of this switch would be… Read More »ENERGY AUDIT FOR BUILDINGS

Prestressed Concrete Principles, Need and Advantages

Prestressing is the process of inducing compressive stresses in a structure before it is placed to its intended usage. Internal stresses are introduced in a predetermined manner in a prestressed concrete member so that the stresses resulting from the superimposed loads are counteracted to a desired degree. Introduction to Prestressed Concrete Modes: Process of induction… Read More »Prestressed Concrete Principles, Need and Advantages

Investigation of Reinforced Concrete Structures for Repair and Maintenance

Why Investigation of Reinforced Concrete Structures for Repair and Maintenance Required? Concrete is one of the most adaptable man-made building materials available today. Concrete has earned a reputation as the most generally acceptable material for most sorts of modern buildings due to its flowability in the most convoluted forms while wet, and its strength, development,… Read More »Investigation of Reinforced Concrete Structures for Repair and Maintenance

Assessment of Concrete Structures Damage & Preparation of Report

Concrete Deterioration and Performance of Structures If the final appearance of the concrete structure is pleasing, everyone is pleased and proud. Concrete, no matter how appealing it appears, may not be strong or long-lasting. In the shape of their condition, long-term load and exposure impacts disclose their performance characteristics. Environmental exposure will eventually allow for… Read More »Assessment of Concrete Structures Damage & Preparation of Report

Qualitative Structural Analysis of Beams and Frames

Structural engineers may be unfamiliar with qualitative structural analysis. The most common form of structural analysis is the numerical (quantitative) method, in which structural designers must identify dimensions and loads, as well as compute bending moments and reactions. However, preliminary analysis is a critical phase that comes before numerical structural analysis. Before performing analysis, dimensions… Read More »Qualitative Structural Analysis of Beams and Frames

How to be Successful in your Civil Engineering Career?

Achieving Effectiveness as a Young Civil Engineer Civil engineers spend four or more years in school convinced that if they handle technical problems correctly, they will be rewarded with good scores. Not surprisingly, many civil engineers continue to believe that all they need to do to succeed is apply the technical and analytical abilities they’ve… Read More »How to be Successful in your Civil Engineering Career?

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN USING CRUSHED SAND

Concrete mix design is the process of selecting suitable concrete materials and determining their relative proportions with the goal of generating a concrete with the required strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible. The needed performance of concrete in two phases, namely the pliable and hardened states, governs the proportioning of ingredients in concrete.… Read More »CONCRETE MIX DESIGN USING CRUSHED SAND

DEFECTIVE CONCRETE REMOVAL TECHNIQUES

Defective Concrete Removal Techniques Any repair work must remove deteriorated, damaged, porous, or defective concrete, but the degree of this removal is rarely known during the planning stage. It takes a long time to decide how much broken concrete should be removed and how much ageing for existing concrete should be allowed to continue. Because… Read More »DEFECTIVE CONCRETE REMOVAL TECHNIQUES
