Hii sir,
My house is of column structure. I want to remove a wall lying at the middle of the house. Is it possible that by giving pillar and beam in suitable position i can remove that wall?
Hi,
I have multi stair building, due to rains, not found sand 1st floor slab was stopped since 19th september’2020 and Tats steel was fixed for flab, it was wetting rains. what is precautions I should take while putting slab to avoid rusting.
Thanks,
Veerababu.
Assuming a linear speed-density relationship, the mean free speed is observed to be 60 mph at zero density, and the corresponding jam density is 140 veh/mi.
a) Write down the speed-density and flow-density equations
b) Find qmax
c) Find Headway and Spacing at qmax
d) Compute the speed and density corresponding to a flow of 1000 veh/hr
e) Draw the v-k, v-q and q-k diagrams indicating critical values.
2) A school zone(20 mph) of ¼ mile length is located on a 40 mph highway. Stream measurements at various sections upstream, middle of the school zone, and just downstream of the school zone are respectively as follows:
Approaching zone : qA = 1000 veh/hr, vA= 40mph
Middle of zone : qB = 1100 veh/hr, vB= 20mph
Downstream of zone: qC =1200 veh/hr, vC= 30mph
Sketch the q-k-v curves and indicate critical values. Calculate the intensity and direction of the shock waves created by the speed zone and the time required to disperse it?(Assume the speed zone restrictions operate for only 15 min during morning and evening periods).
3) Draw a time distance sketch showing the front and rear of the platoon at any time from the start of the speed zone enforcement until such time as the platoon has completely dispersed based on previous Problem. need the solution to the problems
Hi! can you please sudjest a thesis study regarding low cost grain storage structure, and what must i do to make it low cost
into a fly over there has to be a minimum slope of 250 metres on either side ,
whereas govt. is proposing 180 metres slope is it ok , it may be dangerous i believe
is it acceptable to do concrete pouring of only half of the beam thickness and partial ( thin layer only) of the slab? I am used to a monolithic pouring and this is new to me. I am not an engineer.
Sir,what should be the role of an engineers during cocreting of mall construction
I have tested one cube in lab remaining two cubes are missed. This single cube is lesser than the required strength, can I test single cube? Give me a solution.
Hi there! I am currently doing my thesis on sump pit of drainage system of underground railway. Can you help me to direct me to a standardised procedure on how to do the design calculation? Thanks in advance!
If two samples of the same sand have the same relative density and are confined
under the same effective stress, can they have different volume change properties?
Why?

Is 13*14 room need down beam or flat beam or conceld beam is ok
Want to demolition my building please me out
I am girl and I am in first year of civil engineering .I want to ask that will I be able to get a good job in civil engineering
length f dowel bars to be left in slab reinforcement
Sir, I’m from ladakh. My question is
1. Can we do concrete work in minus temperature?
2. Since the temperature in ladakh goes upto -25°C. Can we use rapidite or other anti freezing agent for concrete works.
Thanking you
Sir I want to know whether slab can be provided for the load bearing structure which is having basement floor with stone masonry of 2′ and gf with 1.5′ stone masonry n slab over it n now ff construction is done using light weight bricks n column points are been taken at the point where gf 1.5′ walls are present.so now on ff can we put slab concrete of 6″ (15cm)???
want to build a storage godown 40’×60* can I use fly ash bricks.plz advise
