Make a checklist of tasks and be prepared for what might not be as clear or straightforward to determine. This is the cost which are unpredictable and plan-based associated…
Back Ground The construction industry is looking for safe, innovative and improved construction materials and methods for the construction of office, residential and other structures. Construction industry is increasingly demanding for advances in quality, lavish, and better construction in either constructing a commercial or residential building. Light gauge steel (also know as cold-formed steel) construction…
Introduction Hydration Of Portland cement is defined as “dissolution-precipitation” process. During this process cement in mix reacts with water and transforms from fluid phase to porous solid matter known as concrete. This process of hardening during hydration process is known as setting of concrete. Strength continue to develop after hardening stage. Hydration process several stages…
Pile Foundation When the soil at or near the ground surface is unable in bearing the load of super-structure, deep foundations are required to transmit the load to deeper strata. The most common types of deep foundations are pile, piers and caissons. A deep foundation is generally much more expensive than a shallow foundation. It…
BRIEF IDEAS ABOUT HYDRAULIC MACHINERY IN CONSTRUCTION Hydraulic equipment and machines are now used in most of industries, including construction. Machines which use high fluid power to perform any work or task are called as hydraulic machinery. These machines work by using fluid which entered into machine at very high pressure which is basically maintained…
The rebound hammer test is a Non-destructive testing method of concrete which provide a convenient and rapid indication of the compressive strength of the concrete. The rebound hammer is also called as Schmidt hammer that consist of a spring controlled mass that slides on a plunger within a tubular housing. The principle is based on…
What is waterproofing and why is it necessary? Waterproofing is a process that protects your home from water damage. Protecting your property against water damage can be done in various ways, but the most popular and effective way is with a liquid sealant on the exterior surface of the building.

A slab has generally some 150mm thickness in commercial buildings however thickness may change depending upon the structure we are constructing and it is supported by other structural elements like…
We know in constructing hydroelectric power plants,we have to built dams or reserviors in order to store water. A dam is constructed over the runoff of any river due to which seapage of water occurs which we need to divert otherwise it will weaken our dam structure,In order to do that we use pvc perforated…
Grouting is a construction process that creates an impermeable barrier between two surfaces. Grouts are typically made of cement, sand, and water.Grouts come in many different types including epoxy grout for waterproofing outdoor spaces or acrylic grout for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Grouting is the key to any successful construction project because it…
