In mechanical properties of various solid materials, two of the most important concepts are that of stress and strain. It is crucial in understanding how an object behaves or reacts when you apply a force on it. Stress and strain help in identifying the strength, deformation, and various other mechanical properties of the object. If … Read more
Hey everyone, I hope you’re having a great day! Today’s video is going to be an informative one about the different types of supports you’ll encounter in structural engineering.

A lot of times, while solving structural engineering problems, we found difficulty in understanding different types of beams. This is very crucial to understand because different types of beams have different types of internal stresses and reactions to solve. As explained here, the three common types of connections for a beam include roller, pinned, and … Read more
In the realm of building construction, the foundation serves as the critical element that supports the entire structure, transmitting the load of the building to the soil beneath. Foundations are broadly categorized into shallow and deep foundations, each serving distinct purposes based on the soil conditions, structure requirements, and other factors. In this article, we … Read more
When it comes to choosing the right building materials for construction, one of the most common dilemmas faced by builders and homeowners is whether to use AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks or traditional red bricks. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice ultimately depends on various factors, including the project’s requirements, budget, … Read more
