Dear Sir,
I want to know the factor of safety for load combination (DL+LL) what will be taken
1.5 or 1 for foundation design.
PK PANI
factor of safety for steel is 1.15 and for concrete is 1.5
details of tension test and compressive test performed on iron bars before reinforcing in concrete.
i was doing a numerical on block shear failure. a 350 kN load is applied on the section. when solving for both LRFD and ASD, the values came out to be like this
484 kN for LRFd and 323 kN for ASD.
so which value to consider since one is higher and the other lower than 350 kN?
and also will the section fail in block shear and why?
Dear Sir,
pls advice for checking of reinforcement,Shuttering with Tolerance for slab,Column Beam.

dear sir,
i want to have details for low cost housing.
the details for each house are as below
1] 3 rooms = 1 bedroom + 1 drawing room + 1 kitchen = 1 toilet.
each room size will be 12×15 ft except kitchen and toilet [indian style]
what will be the cheapest possible cost for such a block of 3 rooms.
may i add that these rooms will be not standalone, these will be in a
cluster of about 30-40 houses.
i want to use cement hollow bricks.
what will be the cost if tiles are added and if not added just plain
flooring and walls.
pls be kind enough to send me necessary details for the above in my
thanks and regards

Sir, Please tell me how to know that the M-25 grade concrete required only 8.38 bags cement
hello sir..since many days i am designing mix for m 60 grade concrete…the target mean strength is 72Mpa…using ramco opc 53G and ultra tech 53G cement..the prportions are..
cement 450Kg/cum and micro silica 30kg/cum
W/c ratio 0.3 water absorption
sp gra of aggre type I(20mm) 2.777 0.84
sp gra of aggre type I(20mm) 2.644 1.94
sp gra of fine aggre 2.61 1.5
will you please suggest me a design for the same so as to achieve strength of 72Mpa at the end of 28 days..even using pure OPC i.e..excluding micro silica will also do good…
Hello Sir,
Pls help me for a presentation on “Application of Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering” Kindly consider this and help me sir.

what is the physical significance of normal consistency?
which law governs it?
what project can i do in this topic?
i m a 3rd year ug student in civil engg. i have interest in concrete technology .
i want to do some project in it and wish to publish a paper by the end of 4th year.
please suggest some books and ways to proceed.
sir,we have 33,43,53 grade cement.what is the meaning of these.what it indicates.all of them ends with ‘3’,did it have an meaning
Good Day
I will be grateful if you could let me know,
1)Bare minimum information required for soils to be used for highway construction.
2)How would the soils be classified based on Atterbergs limits.
3)Compare ASTM vs BS for sieves.
Will be grateful if these can be provided at the earliest,any sites that can be reffered too.
Dear Sirs,
Do anybody have a typical list o delivrables for a chemical plant with regards to civil engineering.
For example
Piling Drawing
Piping trench drawing
Equipment Foudation Drawing
Steel Structur Drawing
Concrete Drawing
etc.

is there a norm for the lateral load capacity of piles based on their vertical load. have been hearing it is something like 5-10% max, our consultant has come up with number which are almost 25%.
I am basically a RCC pipe manufacturer in hyderabad using tradition spinning system. I would like to upgrade my works with latest vertical vibration technology. Can any body help in what extactly this technology is, and from where I can get required machines. Thanks.
Sir,
Please arrange all the advabtage of fly ash in PPC Cement & Concrete.
