sir now im going to do a main project about concrete using recron fibre and coconut coir pls can u give brief explanation about concrete using recron fibre and coconut coir… and where i can download notes for this..
what is diff. between asphalt & Bitumen?
what is the difference between working stress method and limit state method?
To sravanthi,
For working stress approach, service loads are used in the whole design and the strength of material is not utilized in the full extent. In this method of design, stresses acting on structural members are calculated based on elastic method and they are designed not to exceed certain allowable values. In fact, the whole structure during the lifespan may only experience loading stresses far below the ultimate state and that is the reason why this method is called working stress approach. Under such scenario, the most economical design can hardly be obtained by using working stress approach which is now commonly used in the design of temporary works.
For limit state approach, for each material and load, a partial safety factor is assigned individually depending on the material properties and load properties. Therefore, each element of load and material properties is accurately assessed resulting in a more refined and accurate analysis of the structure. In this connection, the material strength can be utilized to its maximum value during its lifespan and loads can be assessed with reasonable probability of occurrence. Limit state approach is commonly used for the majority of reinforced concrete design because it ensures the utilization of material strength with the lowest construction cost input.
When design a building for wind say it is enclosed and the opening is on the winward side and leeward side wind coming from windward side which internal pressure value determines the most restrictive pressure or suction

Im a high school student reasearchin Civil Engineering do you have any advice about Civil Engineering and how i will kno if is the write career for me?
Namaste, I’m working in a remote region of Nepal where we hope to use the local soil as mud mortar. I’m concerned that it’s sand content is too high to achieve the cohesion necessary to resist seismic loads. Can you provide any guidance on the matter?
PS What are the partial safety factors in India for limit state design, i.e. IL, DL….
Could you please suggest which is the best design mix for M-25 and M-40 for high rise buildings? Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
