What are the Methods of Interpolation of Contours?
How to pour Concrete in Narrow/Sleak Columns?
You can use Self Compacted Concrete to use for narrow columns. It also used where the reinforcement is heavy and process of compaction is not available/difficult to compact.

See lessWhile constructing long embankment (appx 4 km) in multiple layers of 300mm depth, what shall be spacing of core cutter samples to ensure adequate dry density measurement.
Hi, There are not any specific criteria for the spacing of sample taken, and the decision is purely based upon site civil engineers and various criteria of soils and on observations. if you found soil which is less compacted or even is created then take samples for observation and check the bulk denRead more
Hi, There are not any specific criteria for the spacing of sample taken, and the decision is purely based upon site civil engineers and various criteria of soils and on observations. if you found soil which is less compacted or even is created then take samples for observation and check the bulk density of soil and moisture content. Please refer to the following article for details about core cutter method and its applications: Link: https://theconstructor.org/geotechnical/dry-density-of-soil-by-core-cutter-method/2680/
See lessWhat is Golden Ratio? How can we find out the Golden Ratio of any rectangular shaped body?
The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895..., which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object. Drawing It Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio: Draw aRead more

Drawing It
Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio:
Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.
See lessWhat is the reason behind the initial setting time of cement should not be less that 30min.?
Initial setting time of various types of cement: The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement. The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute. The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes But usually, another type of cement has 30mRead more
Initial setting time of various types of cement:
Please refer the above image for knowing the values of initial setting time and final setting time for various types of cement.
Thank you.
See lessWhy Back Sight is also called as Plus Sight?
Back Sight: Backsight is simply a first reading which is taken after setting up the instrument. Why the backsight is also called plus sight: Only because the reading is taken of known elevation to continue taking foresight reading. Thank You.

True bearing is the sum of magnetic bearing plus declination.
Thank you.
See lessWhy correction of curvature is always considered as a negative?
Here, consider lens or mirror at the origin. Now, all the distances measured in the direction of incident rays are positive and distances measured in the direction opposite to the direction of incident rays are negative. All distances have to be measured from the lens or mirror. For example object dRead more
Here, consider lens or mirror at the origin. Now, all the distances measured in the direction of incident rays are positive and distances measured in the direction opposite to the direction of incident rays are negative. All distances have to be measured from the lens or mirror. For example object distance measured from lens or mirror is measured in the direction opposite to direction of incident rays hence, in these case object distance u is negative. The paraxial parallel rays are focused on the right hand side of convex lens. See, this distance f is measured in the direction of incident rays . Hence, focal length of convex lens is positive. But, we can see that focal length of concave mirror is negative. It’s radius of curvature is also negative. The radius of curvature of first surface of convex lens is positive, but radius of curvature of it’s second surface is negative. You can see that radius of curvature and focal length of concave mirror are negative.
