What is a Plinth beam? Plinth beam height and size

25 November 2021 Sreepriya R Building construction

The plinth beam is a horizontal structural element constructed at the plinth level. Substructure and superstructure are the most important component in a building. The substructure is the part of the building below the ground level where the superstructure is the part of the building above the ground level. The plinth level is a level in between the substructure and superstructure. It comes after the construction of the foundation.

Types of Levelling – Uses and advantages

14 November 2021 Sreepriya R Civil engineering, Surveying

Types of levelling – Leveling is a branch of surveying that deals with computing and determining the relative heights between different points with respect to the datum. The purpose of leveling is for determining the elevation of a point and establishing the same at a given elevation. Moreover leveling deals with the computation of measurements in the vertical plane. There are different types of leveling in Surveying. In this article, we will discuss the purpose and types of leveling.

Segregation and bleeding in concrete – Types, Causes and remedies

4 November 2021 Sreepriya R Concrete

Segregation is the separation of concrete ingredients from one another. Concrete is one of the most used construction materials. It consists of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement and water. There are many reasons for the cause of segregation. In this article, we will define segregation, as well as its types and causes.

The main function beam is to withstand the lateral loads on the axis of the beam.

Types of beam in Construction -Top 16 beam types explained

31 October 2021 Sreepriya R Building construction

The beam is a horizontal structural member in a building. The main function beam is to withstand the lateral loads on the axis of the beam. They can also withstand shear forces and bending moments. Also, it helps in transferring loads to the column. The mode of deflection in a beam is through bending. In this article, we will discuss the various types of the beam in a building.

Reading the floor plan is an important skill that a civil engineer should possess. There are different types of areas in the floor plan of a building. In this article, we will see about the different types of areas.

Penetration Resistance Test – Significance and Procedure

27 July 2021 Sreepriya R Concrete, Quality tests on concrete

Penetration resistance test is a concrete non-destructive test. This test determines the strength of concrete by penetrating a steel rod. Non-destructive test (NDT) and destructive tests (DT) are the the tests done one hardened concrete. Concrete is the oldest and most important construction material in the world. Testing of the concrete plays and important role to know about the strength, durability and condition of the structure.

specific gravity and water absorption test of aggregate

Specific Gravity and Water absorption test on Aggregate

26 July 2021 Sreepriya R Aggregate, Building Materials

Specific gravity and water absorption test are significant tests on aggregates. Perhaps aggregates are the fundamental and essential components of concrete and play a significant role in the design mix of concrete. More than 70 to 80 per cent of the volume of concrete is aggregate. Hence the water absorption and specific gravity test are essential tests.
The specific gravity is the measure of strength, while water absorption indicates the porosity of aggregates.

Soundness test of Cement – Procedure & Calculation

25 July 2021 Sreepriya R Building Materials, Cement

The soundness of the cement is the ability to resist volume changes after hardening. The soundness test on cement is significant because using unsound cement leads to cracks and hamper the structural quality. A sound cement Cement is one of the key materials used in construction. Therefore it is essential to determine its quality before using it in construction.
