What is the most suitable volume of concrete batching plant for a transmission interconnection project?
AdityaBhandakkar
As a civil engineering point of view for accurate measurement of any material weight batching is preferred over volume batching for large constructions. Refer IS 4925(2004) 40 tales of concrete batching plants and their volumes The volume of transit mixer is around the 6.1-metre cube. The volume ofRead more
As a civil engineering point of view for accurate measurement of any material weight batching is preferred over volume batching for large constructions.
Refer IS 4925(2004) 40 tales of concrete batching plants and their volumes
- The volume of transit mixer is around the 6.1-metre cube.
- The volume of the batching plant is based upon the size and quantity of manufacturing capacity. So it may vary from plant to plant according to requirement.
- Also, you can prefer a mix design of concrete to get an idea about transit mixer and batching plants in brief.
See lessWhy water tanks are still designed by the working stress method?
Komal Bhandakkar
Dear student, Nowadays we use IS 3370:1965 for water tank design which permits only the working stress method. The reason behind the design of water tanks using the working stress method only are as follows; Variation of the load is not taken into account in working stress method. Working stress meRead more
Dear student,
Nowadays we use IS 3370:1965 for water tank design which permits only the working stress method.
The reason behind the design of water tanks using the working stress method only are as follows;
- Serviceability of working stress method is more as compared to Limit state method and hence the lifespan of the structure will automatically extend.

Dear students,
Definition :
High rise building is that type of building which is taller than 15m height which people can willing to walk up and it also requires mechanically operated vertical Transportation systems.
No. of Floors in high rise building= greater than four (i.e. G + 3 Floors)
Electrical system :
The electrical system provided in high rise building depends on the utility of that building.
High Voltage wire is required for commercial building and it is considered hazardous.
The machine has its own fuse, there will be wire ways included in the floor slab.
Various types of electrical works carried out in high rise building:
integrated building management system(IBMS)
- Can monitor and control fire.
- It has a security module for access control
- Elevator control

When the base of the object is inaccessible we use an indirect method of surveying.
A tachometer is used to measure the distance between the two points with the use of an analytical lens. There are two methods
D=(f/L)S + (f + d)
D=horizontal distance between tachometer and stadia rod.
f/L = multiplying constant
S= Staff Intercept
Elevation formula:
v = KSsin(2©)/2 + Ccos(2©)
© = Theta= Angle of elevation or depression.
K & C = Tachometric Constant
substance method and tangential method is also used to find the elevation between two points.

Hi Raghav,For making any structure there is need to understand the need of the user.
All things are planned accordingly to the need of user. There are various things which are taken into consideration before planning any structures are listed below as follows:
- Selection of suitable land for construction.
- Understanding the plot area and budget which owner can afford to make his home
- Understanding demands of owner may include his preferences, choices and his vision for his dream home. Then it is advised to visited a certified architect
- Then after making suitable plan from architect it’s advised to visit a structural engineer for execution of plan.
- A final submission plan form architect needs to be approved by the local authority like municipal corporations and municipal councils.
- It’s time to get an experienced contractor for ground level construction.

Main Reinforcement always provide to resist tension in the member.
The concept of +ve and -ve reinforcement is come when we talk about beam or beam like other structure.
In beam, part where moment is sagging(generally, at near mid point)reinforcement provided in lower side that is called positive reinforcement. If moment is hogging(generally, at near support), then reinforcement provided at upper side of beam, it is called as negative reinforcement.

Kuldeep Singh
Gunia is a way to check perpendicularly of walls or boundaries. Suppose you have two walls meeting perpendicularly, but you want to be precisely sure that the angle is 90º. So, what is generally done is, from the corner a point at a distance of 3m is marked on one wall and that at a distance of 4m oRead more
Gunia is a way to check perpendicularly of walls or boundaries. Suppose you have two walls meeting perpendicularly, but you want to be precisely sure that the angle is 90º. So, what is generally done is, from the corner a point at a distance of 3m is marked on one wall and that at a distance of 4m on the other. Now, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the distance measured between these two marked points has to be accurately 5m got the walls to be perpendicular. And that’s what we wanted to check.

Generally hill profiles are irregular. So, the most efficient method for hill road is the prismoidal method (Simpson method). It based on the assumption that profile is parabolic between two sections. For use of this method, it is necessary that profile should be divided into odd number of section.Read more

For use of this method, it is necessary that profile should be divided into odd number of section. If the profile is divided in even number of section than apply prismoidal method till the second last section and apply the trapezoidal method in last section.
