Design of a compression member
As a civil engineer, it’s always important to learn the key points needed for designing any member. The article on design strength describes easy steps to compute the compressive design
Deep foundation | Types and requirement
As you know the human population is increasing day by day. Hence we need home, for which the land requirement is increasing. Hence finally we have to use that portion
Column | Design strength calculation by an example
If you want to know what is column or compression member, pick up the pencil in the table in front of you, now try to compress it as shown in
Bolted connection| checks according to IS800:2007
When I was in college, I always thought about why we need connections and why they are so important in the steel structure. Now I have the answer to that.
What are the types of base isolation devices
In our previous post, we studied various techniques to reduce earthquake effects on structures. We will explore different types of base isolation devices that are commonly used in building engg. In
Stress | Definition, and Types
To understand the stress, let’s do one demonstration. Pick the eraser on your table and try to compress it. When you release the pressure, the eraser returns to its original
Stress Transformation | Derivation and Application
To understand what stress transformation is and why it is needed, let’s perform a demonstration. Take a piece of chalk and try to twist it from both ends, as shown
Factors affecting development of bond stress
Bond stress plays a crucial role in the behavior of R.C.C. structures. It refers to the force per unit area acting on the bond interface between the steel and the
Why we should go for water softening ?
If you use a water heater, you may have noticed scaling buildup over time. The same issue can occur in pipes as well. The cause of these problems is hard
Does water color indicate the presence of pollutant ?
Pure water is an inorganic compound composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is colorless, tasteless, and transparent. However, in nature, pure water is rarely found because
