A fresh set every day. Short, practical, and written the way it actually matters on site.
Setting Out
Transferring the drawing's geometry onto the ground.
On siteErrors here are the most expensive on any project, because everything built afterwards inherits them.
Neutral Axis
The line across a bending section where stress is zero.
On siteAbove it concrete is in compression, below it steel takes tension. Its depth sets the lever arm and the moment capacity.
Atterberg Limits
Moisture contents marking a fine soil's shift between solid, plastic and liquid states.
On siteLiquid limit and plastic limit classify the soil and predict how badly it will swell and shrink.
Point of Contraflexure
The location where bending moment passes through zero and reverses sign.
On siteCurvature flips here, so it is the natural place to lap bars or stop a curtailed bar.
Standard Penetration Test
Counting hammer blows to drive a sampler 300 mm into the borehole.
On siteThe N-value is the fastest field indicator of density and correlates to bearing capacity.
