The Earth, a magnificent stage of constant drama, whispers its secrets through the language of movement. From mountains resisting gravity’s pull to the subtle sway of skyscrapers, this dynamic choreography is governed by the intricate science of geomechanics. Today, we […]
Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the various types of retaining walls! Whether you’re a homeowner looking to enhance your outdoor space or a construction enthusiast seeking insight into different wall options, this blog post is your ultimate resource.
Foundation is the most important part of any structure. We are well known that the load of the structure is transmitted to the under-laying soil via the foundation. Therefore, the special concern should be given by a civil engineer while
Aggregates are essential components of concrete. They act as inert material in concrete. Fine and coarse aggregate are two main types of aggregate for concrete. As the name indicates, they are basically classified depending on the sizes of aggregate particles.
Black cotton soil is very good soil from an agricultural point of view, but very bad from a structural point of view. This soil when dry is quite strong but its bearing capacity reduces to less than 5 t/m2 when
The CBR test of soil is fully described in IS-2720-PART-16-1979 for civil engineering purposes. It was first developed by the California State Highway Department and is used in the field as an arbitrary strength test which is considered to stress
1. Introduction Specific gravity is the ratio of the mass of a unit volume of soil at a stated temperature to the mass of the same volume of gas-free distilled water at a stated temperature. 2. Aim To determine the
Introduction The ultimate bearing power or ultimate bearing capacity of a soil is the minimum load per unit area, which causes failure to the soil. It is known that a load of any structure is finally transmitted to the soil
