Structural Concrete Slabs are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually horizontal, in building floors, roofs, bridges, and other types of structures. The slab may be supported by walls, by reinforced concrete beams usually cast monolithically with the slab, by structural steel beams, by columns, or by the ground. The depth of a slab is usually … Read more
The term,” engineer construction machinery” covers a very wide range of machines. Earth moving machines and cranes are grouped under the term, “c” vehicles. Others such as pavement layers and finishers, compressors, road rollers, pumps and concreting machines have no group name. Manufacturers are continuously improving their designs with the result that the specifications are … Read more
Piles are the columnar elements in the foundations which have function of transferring loads from super structure through week compressible strata or through water onto stiffened or more compact and less compressible soils. What are piles? They may be required to carry uplift loads when used to support tall structures subjected to overturning forces from … Read more
Structural analysis is a very significant and major field of study in civil engineering. Subjects like Engineering Mechanics, Theory of Structure, and Structural Engineering all includes different methods and techniques to solve the analysis of a structure. Structure is defined as combination of members and elements like beams, columns, slabs and footings that are joined … Read more
