Design Procedure Of Circular Tank Step by Step Step1:   Thickness Of Wall The Thickness Of wall may be selected from the following considerations: 1.Thickness of wall may be at least 150mm 2. Thickness of wall may be about 30mm per meter depth + 50 Step2: Pressure Intensity        Consider the bottom of 1m height of the wall. Pressure intensity corresponding to the centre of the bottom 1 metre height of wall.                                                                       p= w×h             Where w= Specific weight of water   ...

WHAT IS FOUNDATION OF SOIL? Soil is a combination of minerals and organic elements that are in solid, gaseous, and aqueous form. Soil consists of particle layers that are different from the original materials in their physical, mineralogical, and chemical properties because of the interactions between the atmosphere and hydrosphere and other reasons. The particles of the soil are created from broken rocks that have been changed due to the chemical and environmental effects, including weather and erosion. Particles of soil are filled loosely, creating a soil formation that consists of pore spaces. Studying soil formation modes is important because it helps in determining properties of soil. Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, acidity of soil, and other related factors can easily be determined by knowing about the type of soil w have to deal with. We cannot draw any concrete conclusions merely by conducting soil studies but we surely can narrow our research parameters by studying the basi...

what is soil mechanics? Soil mechanics is a discipline of civil engineering that predicts the soil performance characteristics utilizing the engineering techniques of dynamics, fluid mechanics, and other technologies. Soil mechanics includes the study of soil composition, strength, consolidation, and the use of hydraulic principles to deal with issues concerning sediments and other deposits. Soil mechanics is one of the major sciences for resolving problems related to geology and geophysical engineering. Soil mechanics studies are very important for civil engineers because based on the findings of soil mechanics studies, engineering structures are constructed. The type of construction, type of equipment to be used, type of foundation, support material, and many other aspects of construction works are largely affected by the soil mechanics studies. Basically we study about soil formation modes, physical and chemical properties of soil, dynamic loading of soils, permeability, cons...

INTRODUCTION OF GEOTECNICAL ENGINEERING Geotechnical engineering is often the starting point for studies for every practicing civil engineer. Thus it’s important to understand how geotechnical aspects affect the development of civil engineering projects and construction works. Here, in this list of articles on the topic, we start with the basics, introducing geotechnical engineering and how it relates to the other branches of civil engineering. Questions that can be asked and answered include how geoenvironmental engineering and geotechnical engineering differ, and what place soil mechanics and rock mechanics hold in the field. Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering: Everything You Should Know Major Differences between Geotechnical and Geo environmental Engineering The Best Geotechnical Engineering Publications and Online Resources Importance of Conducting Geotechnical Surveys About Soil Engineering What is Rock Mechanics Common Terms Applied to Rock Mechanics in Geotec...

Civil Engineering   Civil Engineering is one of the broadest and oldest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties. Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to modern life like space satellites and launching facilities, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbors, water supply system and wastewater treatment plants. A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the project. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory an seed administrative skills. what does a civil engineering do Civil engineers “design, construct, supervise, operate and maintain large construction projects and systems, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage tre...

PERMISSIBLE LOAD ON A SHORT COLUMN A short column may b analysed by the following two methods: 1) Simple Elastic Theory 2) I. S Code Method Simple Elastic THEORY      Let  A=Area of column Section Ac=Area of concrete Ast=Area of steel Ae=Equivalent Concerte Area Safe Load = Safe Stress in concrete × Equivalent Concrete Area {Equivalent concrete area Ae= area of concrete+1.5×modular ratio×Area of steel} EXAMPLE ON SIMPLE ELASTIC THEORY I. S. Code Method Safe load= [ (Area of concrete×safe stress in concrete) +(Area of steel×safe stress in steel) ] EXAMPLE ON I.S CODE METHOD Safe compressive stress in concrete in RCC Columns Safe compressive stress in steel bars used in RCC Columns
