What is SOR? Which department publishes SOR?
Komal Bhandakkar
Schedule of Rates(SOR): Actually, the schedule of rates is not mandatory, and it's only to explain the basic rates. The market rate can be a little different. District Schedule of Rates(DSR) is also known as Schedule of Rates(SOR). District Schedule of Rates is a document released by the public workRead more

District Schedule of Rates(DSR) is also known as Schedule of Rates(SOR).
District Schedule of Rates is a document released by the public work departments for every district.
District Schedule of Rates consists of many tables for different activities in construction like concreting, earthwork, steelwork.
Thanking You.

Truly speaking, the concrete building has more safe advantages as compared to the steel structure.
The concrete structure can endure the highest temperatures for a long time.
The concrete structure also provides good protection from explosions.
Speed of construction with concrete is very fast as compared with the steel structure, and indirectly it saves money.
Repairing the cost of the concrete structure is less than that of the steel structure.
Thanking You.
See lessWhy vibrators are not used during concreting in piling works?
Komal Bhandakkar
Following are the reasons behind the vibrators are not used during concreting in piling works: Vibrators are used: For removing air voids Avoiding the formation of the honeycomb structure For proper compaction In the case of pile construction work, the depth of the pile is very high, and a vibratorRead more
Following are the reasons behind the vibrators are not used during concreting in piling works:
Vibrators are used:
In the case of pile construction work, the depth of the pile is very high, and a vibrator is not capable of reaching up to that height.
The soil will get damaged due to vibrator at a very high height. It is a possibility of sewer collapse.
Thanking You.
See lessWhat is deadmen or tell-tales in excavation?
Komal Bhandakkar
In the construction point of view, deadman is totally related to heavyweight, especially a mass concrete block. Deadman is used to provide strong support, or we can say resistance to a load. Actually, such type of blocks is embedded firmly in the soil, whereas some blocks are resting on the surfaceRead more

Can this type of brick bond be used for bearing walls?
Komal Bhandakkar
In masonary work, we used usually 1:4 cement-sand mortar of compressive strength 3.8N/mm2. The compressive strength of one brick of standard size is 11.12N/mm2. The compressive strength of brick masonry is 2.5 N/mm2. Thanks.
Thanks.
See lessWhat is the reinforced concrete deep beam and where it used?
Komal Bhandakkar
Use of reinforced concrete deep beam: There are many useful applications of the reinforced concrete deep beam in: Foundation beam Transfer girders Wall footings Foundation pile caps Floor diaphragms Shear walls Definition of deep beam: A member who is loaded on one face and supported on the opposiRead more
Use of reinforced concrete deep beam:
Definition of deep beam:
A member who is loaded on one face and supported on the opposite face. Hence, compression strut can develop between the loads and the supports.
The clear span of the reinforced concrete deep beam is equal to or less than four times the overall member depth.
When should we opt for continuous footing?
Komal Bhandakkar
Continuous Footing: The continuous footing is also called as strip footing. Strip footing sir commonly used as foundations of load-bearing walls. The footing usually has advised fitting as load-bearing wall and sometimes it is even wider than that. The width, as well as the type of reinforcement, arRead more
Continuous Footing:
The continuous footing is also called as strip footing.
Strip footing sir commonly used as foundations of load-bearing walls.
The footing usually has advised fitting as load-bearing wall and sometimes it is even wider than that.
The width, as well as the type of reinforcement, are depending on the bearing capacity of the foundation soil.
The continuous footing is a type of Shallow Foundation which supports more than two columns.
The continuous footing is used where the soil has good bearing capacity to resist load occurrence on the structure.
Thank you.
