Civil Engineering is one the oldest branches in Engineering.In this engineering field, we deal with design, construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructures such as roads, bridges and tunnels. The Theory of Structures (TOS) is one of the most important aspects of Civil Engineering. This article will cover the importance of TOS in Civil Engineering. … Read more
There’re a lot of times you start wondering in the field that “workability is directly proportional to” either grade of concrete, water cement ratio, water content, cement content, or what? There’re a lot of factors that affect the workability of concrete and we’ll see some of the factor’s that directly impact the workability. By directly … Read more
Shear strength is the ability of soil to withstand forces that may cause it to fail during sliding or shearing is known as shear strength. It is a measure of the soil’s resistance to these pressures. The balance between the applied shear force and the resistance offered by cohesion and friction determines the shear strength … Read more
Cement is a very fine substance that is mainly made up of calcium, silicon, bauxite and iron ore. It is a binding material used in concrete for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to hold them together. It is manufactured through a controlled chemical combination of limestone, silicon, aluminum, iron and other … Read more
