Introduction There are many possible causes of concrete deterioration. Concrete is most often damaged by corrosion of rebar due to carbonation of hardened cement paste or by chloride attack in wet conditions. Chemical damage is caused by various chemical reactions, aggressive chemical species (chloride, sulfate, magnesium ions) present in groundwater and seawater, or the formation … Read more
Introduction of Girder A girder is a member of a structural design system. Both girders and beams have the same function. These two elements carry and distribute structural loads. Many people equate bars and grids, but they are not. Both share the same functionality, but there are some key differences that distinguish them. This article … Read more
Introduction In this article we will discuss about young’s modulus of elasticity. I would recommend to read my article on stress-strain curve. In the article on stress-strain curves, we learned about proportionality limits, where we talked about constants. This constant is known as the Young’s modulus. Young’s Modulus of Elasticity Above graph is obtained by … Read more

In today’s blog article we are going to discuss very interesting topic ” Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)”. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) An energy performance certificate is a certificate that indicates the energy efficiency of a building based on a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). I have shown a typical EPC document as … Read more
Sewage pump is a pumping device which transfer sewage from one palace to another palace without harming the environment. Sewage pumps move sewage solids and liquids from one place to another. In residential areas, sewage consists of soft solids up to 2 inches in diameter. Wastewater is channeled from the sump to a septic tank … Read more
Parallel seismic pile test is performed to check the quality of pile foundation. It is a non-destructive surface method used to test the quality of pile foundations. It is used to calculate the length and integrity of pile foundations that are not accessible (too long, too thin, or buried under pile caps). If we compare … Read more

Introduction Civil engineers conceive, design, build, supervise, operate, construct and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Many civil engineers work in planning, design, construction, research, and education. Civil engineers typically analyze long range plans, survey … Read more
The periodic table can be segregated broadly into two types of elements, commonly referred to as metals and non-metals. Each of these elements has varying properties and can be found in a wide range of places, such as buildings, bridges, roads, electric cables, cars, mobile phones, laptops, and aircraft. These are also found in the … Read more
