Concrete corrosion may be taken place due to many causes and corrosion contributors. The main contributor that results corrosion to steel...

Dear reader we have discussed about concrete cracking due to alkali-aggregate reaction. The product of this reaction is alkali-silica gel...

In the previous post we have discussed about flowing concrete and admixtures generally used in flowing concrete . Here we will learn abou...

Now-a-days we are constructing structures in such inaccessible place that the in-situ concrete production , in many cases, is impossible. ...

Dear reader in the very before post we have learned about pile rigs , its applicability and components of modern pile rig. Erection safe...

We know that organic soil is a problematic soil . We have already learned about the relation between foundation problem and organic soils...

Precast piles are driven with the help of pile driver /hammer to reach expected foundation depth. Different types of hammers are used in ...

In various cases both from economy and practicability; where deep foundation cannot be adopted and as well excavation of entire problem s...

Geotextiles are extensively using in many civil engineering projects where soil improvement or slope stability is of great importance. In...

Organic soil is a problematic soil . The soil that have properties that may result to serious foundation problems , where there have large...

Pile is a deep foundation system to accommodate access structural load to the relatively firm stratum through end bearing or skin resista...

We have already learned that volumetric batching is not frequently used in concrete industry because of its incorrect measuring of ingred...

Water requirement for concrete to be compacted fully for given effort or practical effort is a measure of workability; also placing witho...

Dear reader we have discussed about different way of transporting / handling of concrete in delivery or placing end. Still some methods...
