The concrete cube test is a fundamental part of quality control in concreting work which is used to assess whether the compressive strength of concrete matches the structural requirements specified in the design. Carried out according to IS 516:1959 and…
As urban landscapes evolve, the need for integrated multi-use structures is growing rapidly. Whether it’s combining commercial retail with residential apartments or fitting parking below office towers, one key structural element makes this possible: the podium slab. What is a…
In urban areas, one of the most overlooked side effects of rapid development is stormwater runoff. As cities grow, natural ground surfaces are replaced by concrete, asphalt, and rooftops—leaving little room for rainwater to soak into the soil. This can…
A dual-rib arch is a modern structural form defined by two parallel curved members—known as ribs—connected by a network of transverse elements. Together, these elements create a braced, stable system that effectively resists loads through compression, while offering improved lateral…
When it comes to building underground structures—like deep basements, tunnels, or barriers to control groundwater—engineers often face the challenge of working in tricky soil and water conditions. That’s where slurry trench technology comes in. Slurry trench – construction method makes…
Planning is the foundation of every successful civil engineering project, or other projects, as it lays the groundwork for seamless execution and optimal results. Through this we will try to outline some points which are very important especially for planning…
Early History of Soil ; Ancient Soil Use The history of soil began with humans’ first contact with the earth when they placed their feet on the ground (Earth). In ancient times, soil was used as a construction material for…
In our previous article we study the Beams and types of beams based on their geometry. if you missed the topic so you can click here to clear the pervious concept. Now let’s look at another important aspect of beams:…
Overview Environmental approvals In India, acquiring licences and permissions from the appropriate environmental authorities and agencies is required for environmental approvals of development projects. With the help of these, permits can evaluate any potential Environmental Effects of the project and…
