HOW TO DETERMINE WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL? [STEP BY STEP]

Civil Engineering Classes HOW TO DETERMINE WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL? [STEP BY STEP] WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL The physical properties of a soil give insight as to the identification of the soil and the determination of its characteristics and load response. These properties can be determined by performing a laboratory analysis on undisturbed soil samples obtained during the test boring process. The laboratory analysis should be performed in accordance with the following ASTM Standard: D-854: Test Method for Specific Gravity of Soils It should be noted that laboratory analyses are performed under controlled conditions with exacting materials and equipment. The results of such analyses may be considered to be accurate. A field sample of undisturbed soil will contain three separate and distinct constituents – solids, water, and air. One of the important properties that must be determined in the laboratory analysis is tha...

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLASTERING & POINTING

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLASTERING & POINTING PLASTERING Applying mortar coats on the surfaces of walls, columns, ceiling etc. to get smooth finish is termed as plastering. Mortar used for plastering may be lime mortar, cement mortar or lime-cement mortar. Lime mortar used shall have fat lime to sand ratio of 1 : 3 or 1 : 4. If hydraulic lime is used mix proportion (lime: sand) is 1 : 2. Cement mortar of 1 : 4 or 1 : 6 mix is very commonly used for plastering, richer mix being used for outer walls. To combine the cost effectiveness of lime mortar and good quality of cement mortar many use lime-cement mortar of proportion (cement : lime : sand) of 1 : 1 : 6 or 1 : 1 : 8 or 1 : 2 : 8. The objective of plastering are: To conceal defective workmanship To give smooth surface to avoid catching of dust. To give good look. To protect the wall from rain water and other atmospheric agencies. To protect surfaces against vermit.   Requirement of good plaster are: It sh...

DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION (STEP BY STEP) DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION (STEP BY STEP)

Civil Engineering Classes DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION (STEP BY STEP)  Design Procedure of foundation Good design must not only be safe but must aim to save construction costs, time and materials. The following procedures should help to achieve this and an ‘educated’ client will recognize the importance of funding this work with a realistic fee. 1. DECIDE THE LOCATION OF COLUMNS & FOUNDATION AND TYPE OF LOADS ACTING ON THEM.(E.X DEAL LOAD, LIVE LOAD OR WIND LOAD) On the building plan, the position of columns and loadbearing walls should be marked, and any other induced loadings and bending moments. The loads should be classified into dead, imposed and wind loadings, giving the appropriate partial safety factors for these loads. 2. ESTIMATE ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE OF SOIL USING GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORT. From a study of the site ground investigation (if available), the strength of the soil at various depths or strata below foundation level sh...
