    i want
    M7.5 mix design

    • gopal kumar July 23, 2012 at 12:48 pm

      for m7.5 mix design,compressive strenght of 15*15*15cm cube sample should be 7.5 N/mm squre……….

      • sushil October 20, 2012 at 7:37 am

        DEAR its written that after 28 days the min strength should be 7.5 n/mm^2 and after 7 days of casting it should be 70% of design value as i think you ca convert the area in sqm as 22500sqm

    • Dhana October 17, 2012 at 3:30 am

      M7.5 mix design 1:4:8.

    how is scope for civil now

    • Prof V.V.deshpande July 2, 2012 at 7:41 am

      Vinod there is nice scope for civil engineering stream at present. There is more demand of skilled civil engineering professionals but the supply at present is less. Lot of multinational companies are awaiting for the recruitment of bulk of civil engineers. As well u can try for Govt. jobs in PWD, Irrigation Dept, Govt. Engg. Colleges etc..
      So don’t worry & Best of Luck.

    WHATS THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF BRICK

    • deepika June 29, 2012 at 2:30 am

      The strength of a single brick masonry unit varies widely, depending on its ingredients and manu- facturing method. Brick can have an ultimate compressive strength as low as 1,600 psi. On the other hand, some well-burned brick has compressive strength exceeding 15,000 psi

      • R C Rao July 19, 2012 at 12:40 pm

        do the fly ash bricks have the same strength?

  • deepika June 29, 2012 at 2:39 am
