Basics of Estimation in Civil Engineering

January 17, 2012   General   Author: 
Some basic thing that needed for estimation of structures are... 1 meter = 3.281 ft 1 cu.m=35.28 cft 25mm=1inch 1 cu.m= 500 nos  Bricks 1 acre= 435670 sq.ft 1 cent=435.67 sq.ft 1 acre= 100 cent 1. How to measure rod wieght? Answer: Weight of rod=(D2/162.2)*Length(meter)=kg 2. How to determine how many rod require for a 10ft*12ft footing?Rod spacing 3in in both side. Answer: 10ft=10*12=120in Rod require=(120/spacing)+1=(120/3)+1=41 nos Rod require=(12*12/spacing)+1=(144/3)+1=49 nos. 3. 25cm thick 1.5m inner dia and 6m depth of asoak well.

Natural Cooling Tower - Pyramid Shaped Structure using Simple design
Ordinary Cooling Tower Design is tedious one and also it includes design of rafter columns. This rafter columns are inclined both in X and Y axis so designing involves difficult calculations. So new researches are going to simplify the design  and in mean while not to decrease its efficiency.. Here, I have included my project which involves planning, analysing and designing of Pyramid shaped natural cooling tower.. Also try rectangular shaped structure if anybody interested..      NATURAL COOLING TOWER-PYRAMID SHAPED STRUCTURE ABSTRACT   Our project involves the Planning, Analysi

Concrete Mix Design made easier now
    Concrete mixing and its design ratio / proportion is an important aspect in civil engineering. Civil Engineers are struggling to design concrete mix with their manual calculation. To made easy their concrete mix here is the software Concrete Mix Designer software. This tool makes it easier. Download  here: Concrete Mix Design Setup   After installing the software. Simply enter the parameters for which you need to design concrete mix, then the ratio will be shown as result. This software comes with the ACI (American Concrete Institute )table of
