Vivek Patel
Fineness is a property of cement that indicate particle size and surface area of cement particle. Necessity of of fineness of cement: Fineness of cement affects hydration rate. The smaller the particle size,the more area available for water-cement interaction per unit volume. Therefore finer cementRead more

What is the difference between Tender and Quotation?
Vivek Patel
In general Tender have earnest money deposit. It is 1% of the total project cost. EDM is required to fill tender Where in quotations not have any EMD. It is free of cost, and the quotation is not protected by law. For small work we use quotation, and for large work we use tender

Vivek Patel
A pitot tube is used for finding velocity at a point in the flow. The pitot tube is measure stagnation pressure and static pressure. Dynamic pressure = stagnation pressure - static pressure In other words, dynamic pressure is pressure due to velocity head. See below the figure for a better understanRead more

Vivek Patel
First of all if possible that we need to remove black cotton soil and make raft foundation with piles Black cotton soil has very bad property of swelling and shrinkage due to that phenomena, different use settlement of foundation occur and lead to failure of the structure. We can use soil treatmentRead more
First of all if possible that we need to remove black cotton soil and make raft foundation with piles
Black cotton soil has very bad property of swelling and shrinkage due to that phenomena, different use settlement of foundation occur and lead to failure of the structure.
We can use soil treatment for foundations black cotton soil
In black cotton soil mostly used CNS material treatment and under ream foundation.

Test apparatus look like The Kelly ball test was formally standardized in ASTM C360-92: the name is “Standard Test Method for Ball Penetration in Freshly Mixed Hydraulic Cement Concrete.” Advantages: The test isRead more
Kelly ball test is simply a test used for measuring the workability of concrete.
Test apparatus look like
The Kelly ball test was formally standardized in ASTM C360-92: the name is “Standard Test Method for Ball Penetration in Freshly Mixed Hydraulic Cement Concrete.”
Advantages:
I has been claimed that the Kelly ball test provides more accurate results than the slump
test.
Disadvantages:
What is Vena Contract in Orifice?
Vivek Patel
Veena Contra is a section where velocity distribution is uniform, and fluid streamline is parallel to each other. The study of Vena Contra is used for actual velocity study in jet flow. Coefficient of velocity is the ratio of actual velocity divided by the theoretical velocity The actual velocity isRead more
Veena Contra is a section where velocity distribution is uniform, and fluid streamline is parallel to each other.
The study of Vena Contra is used for actual velocity study in jet flow.
Coefficient of velocity is the ratio of actual velocity divided by the theoretical velocity
The actual velocity is equal to the velocity at vena contra.
