    SP mean "special publication" That book called handbook This SP handbook are published by BIS (bureau of Indian standard) Some rule are given which we can use directly from that SP handbook

    CBR value for subgrage indicate subgrade material quality CBR value is taken at 2.5mm & 5 mm penitration. For road construction we use irc37 code in subgrade material CBR value should be nearly 15-19% .

    Newly cut stone has some moisture which called quarry sap. Due to moisture, stone durability decrease. So we need to Remove that moisture content and that process of removing moisture (quarry sap) from stone is called seasoning of stone. Basically 5-6 month need to the done seasoning process

    hidden beam

    This red line show concealed beam

    it is used for save headway of floor, to give flatter surface, to resist redistribution of load, to divide and distribution as per design 

    basically this type of beam we provide at

    • stair opening
    • OTS opening
    • sink slab strengthning
    • to convert one way and two way load distribution system

    shrinkage limit is the maximum water content at which if we reduce water content further than soil volume doesn't change, we can also say that at shrinkage limit, water is in just saturated stage. let's see the graph of water content and volume change with shrinkage limit ws= shrinkage limit wp= plaRead more

    shrinkage limit is the maximum water content at which if we reduce water content further than soil volume doesn’t change,

    we can also say that at shrinkage limit, water is in just saturated stage.

    let’s see the graph of water content and volume change with shrinkage limit

    ws= shrinkage limit

    wp= plastic limit

    wl=liquid limit

    at below shrinkage water content water is spill out/remove from voids of soil and that voids fill with the air. Hence voids doesn’t change, so volume doesn’t change. and soil become 3 phase structure air, water and solid particles.

    Relative compaction is a ration of the density of soil at site to the maximum dry density of soil. like we have maximum dry density of soil have 1800 kg/m3 which determine in lab now on site we can archive 1700 kg/m3 by compaction of dumped soil so relative density of that soil on site is =1700/1800Read more

    Relative compaction is a ration of the density of soil at site to the maximum dry density of soil.

    like we have maximum dry density of soil have 1800 kg/m3 which determine in lab

    now on site we can archive 1700 kg/m3 by compaction of dumped soil

    so relative density of that soil on site is =1700/1800=0.9444 = 94.44%

    it is use for

    1. to know how much density we archive compare to design in lab
    2. sometime in specification minimum criteria of relative density are given, ex- minimum relative density at whole site should be 90%.
    3. from relative density we can calculate actual movement of soil, which is very important in tall building and structural durability calculation

    permeability of soil is property of soil that soil allows to water flow pass through soil media.

    permiability of soil

    factor affecting of soil permeability is

    1. soil partical size
    2. soil partical charge
    3. liquid viscosity
    4. tempreture
    5. soil structure like disperse, flocculated, single grain etc
    6. degree of saturation
    7. shape of partical
    8. soil stratification (layer is perpendicular or parallel to permeability of soil path)

    sometimes there is also present loess type of soil which is very fine compared to aeolian soil

    loess soil is a form by wind blowing on the desert and its transport very easily by wind. In other work in the desert, there is very fine sand and a silt present which has no cohesion and highly calcareous also that type of soil has very little mineral content.
