Is structure engineering troubling you?
Do you face problems in solving even the basic problems?
If yes then look no further as engineeringcivil.com along with Er. Gobind Khurana and Er. Abhimanyu has taken an initiative to help civil engineering students in structure related queries. We are thankful to Er. Gobind Khurana, Er. Abhimanyu and Vincent T. H. CHU for being a volunteer in helping other engineers in solving problems related to structure design in R.C.C and Steel.

He is the author of the monthly column “The Civil FAQ” in the Hong Kong Engineer published by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and is the author of the civil engineering monthly columns “The Civil Q&A” and “The Civil Corner” on the websites on World Federation of Engineering Organization and the University of Science and Technology (American Society of Civil Engineers – International Student Group) respectively. He is the recipient of the Ombudsman’s Award 2007 under complaint-related category and Young Engineer of the Year Award 2008 (Merit) organized by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. He is also the author of the engineering book “200 Question and Answers on Practical Civil Engineering Works”, “Civil Engineering Practical Notes A-Z” , “Ask Vincent Chu (Common FAQ on Practical Civil Engineering Works)” and “The Underlying Reasons in Practical Civil Engineering Works”.
So if you have any query regarding the concerned matter, just drop a comment and we will try to solve it as soon as possible.
Could you please send me document on the importance of test on structure piles and foundation ie pile intergrity test, concrete rebound test etc, detail methodology, equipment requirement, data analysis/calculation and report writing guide.
Thank you.
Sir,currently i have started my project on permeabillity studies on nano cement……so i wish to know where i could get the references.details or any ideas of my topic
To Saran
Nano concrete involves the use of carbon nanotubes into concrete. In addition to increasing toughness the nanotubes, which are thousands of times thinner than a human hair, are highly conductive. As such, they could be used to create a nervous system within concrete that could be used to detect cracking and weaknesses in structures.
hello
i am designing a bored cast in-situ pile foundation for a transmission tower and i need to know the deflection criteria for the same and it would be great if you can refer me to any standard which gives details of the safety in bored insitu piles
thanking you

Please clarify the following detail:
1. How many(%) laps/Splices can be used in a raft of 5 Mtr X 5 Mtr? Please mention the particular IS code which is being taken into consideration.
what is meant by friction grip bolt?
To Nagappan
High friction grip bolts are commonly used in structural steelwork. They
normally consist of high tensile strength bolts and nuts with washers. The
bolts are tightened to a shank tension so that the transverse load across
the joint is resisted by the friction between the plated rather than the bolt
shank’s shear strength.
HSFG bolts have the following advantages when compared with normal
bolts:
(i) The performance of preloaded HSFG bolts under fatigue loading is
good because the prestressed bolts are subjected to reduced stress
range during each loading cycle when compared with unloaded bolts.
(ii) For structures adjacent to machinery which generate substantial
vibration, preloading bolts can help to avoid the loosening of bolts.
(iii) HSFG bolts are used in connections where any slight slip movement
would render the integrity of the whole structures break down.
(iv) Owing to its high tensile strength, it is commonly used in connections
which require the taking up of high flexure and the tensile stress
generated could be readily resisted by it high tensile strength.
i am doing a project in school an it involves me asking a few questions about civil engineering so if you can answer these short questions it will be great.
where this type of engineer might work? duties and resposibilities for this engineer? what made you want to be an engineer? what is a typical day on the job like? any personal advice?
Hi, how r u?, there are now dayz new courses in some universities “Civil Engineering Design”, so please can u tell me about its scope, job opportunities???.. thanks.. and waiting for your reply??
