How to calculate the size of stirrups of a slope with face extended beam????? There are so many beams execute at working site, Slope with face extended beam is one of them. We are going to calculate stirrup sizes of slope with face extended beam. let's calculate the stirrup sizes of face extended beam by interpolation formula. Formula- Y=Y 1+((Y 2 - Y 1)/(X 2 - X 1))*(X 0- X 1 )                                                                                             Diagram-                                                                                                                                                                  In interpolation  we take the ratio of  (RISE/RUN). In diagram x- indicates (RUN) & y- indicates (RISE) Problem- A 1.2 m slope beam having 600 mm depth in one end & 1500 mm depth in another end, width of beam is 300 mm. 8 mm dia stirrups having 200 mm c/c. Prepare BBS of  this beam. Solution- Nos of stirrups =

Calculate quantity of cement & sand requirement for plaster????? Dear friends today we discuss about a new topic i.e. Calculate quantity of cement & sand requirement for plaster? In site work, we have to submit our requirement before our execution. So for this we calculate our requirement quantity before execution. Let's see how we calculate our required quantity of cement & sand for plaster work. Question- Area of wall is 1 sqm, mortar ratio is 1:4 & thickness of plaster is 10 mm, Calculate the quantity of cement & sand for plastering? Data given- Area of wall = 1 sqm Thickness of plaster =10 mm or 0.01 m Ratio=1:4 Solution- First we calculate our plaster volume i.e. (area of wall*thickness of plaster)                                                                   = (1*0.01) = 0.01 cum Sum of ratio = (1+4) =5           Cement              Sand  5 =        1               4  1  =.    (1/5)           (4/5) 1.33 =   

Calculation of brick masonry?????? Brick masonry is a major part in civil engineering. when we think about brick masonry a serious question always arise in our mind i.e. how we calculate our required quantity of brick for brick masonry? let's see how we calculate our required quantity of brick. Dear friends when we calculate our brick quantity we should collect 3 data, which are mentioned below in systematically, (Standard size of brick available in India)  Thickness of brick masonry  Volume of brick masonry  Size of brick These 3 factor plays a very important to calculate quantity of  brick. QUESTION - Calculate the required quantity of brick for 1 CUM? Given data- 1. Volume of brick masonry = 1 cum                     2. Size of brick = 0.19 * 0.09 * 0.09 (size in meter) Solution- Size of our brick is = 0.19*0.09*0.09(m), but when place our brick in our required area at that time we use mortar of 0.01 m for bonding. So we add this into ou

Calculating weight of test cube at site???? There are different types of test for concrete,cube test is one of them. We will cast cube in cube mould at the time of casting. Generally we take 6 nos of mould, 3 nos for 7 days test & rest 3 nos for 21 days test. Let us go for calculating weight of test cube, Before we go for calculation we should know two things, Volume of cube = 0.15 * 0.15 * 0.15(units in meter) Unit weight of p.c.c cube = 2400 KG/CUM  Unit weight of r.c.c cube = 2500 KG/CUM  Weight of p.c.c cube = 0.15 * 0.15 *0.15 * 2400 = 8.1 KG Weight of r.c.c cube = 0.15 * 0.15 * 0.15 * 2500 = 8.43 KG PLEASE SUBSCRIBE MY SITE AND COMMENTS ABOUT THE CONTENT.THANK YOU
