Index Properties of Soil with formula| Fine Grained Soil Properties Index Properties of Soil The tests needed for the determination of engineering properties are usually elaborate and time-consuming. Sometimes, the geotechnical engineer is interested to have a rough assessment of the engineering properties without conducting elaborate tests. This is done if index properties are known. The soil…

How can you analyse vertical loads in the buildings

How can you analyse vertical loads in the buildings Analyse vertical loads in the buildings A building frame is a three-dimensional structure consisting of a number of bays in two directions at right angles to each other. A building structure may consist of two sets of plane frames crossing each other at right angles. The columns are common both these sets of frames. Each set of frames is…

Tube Structue System:- Types and Factures

Tube Structure System:- Types and Factures What is Tube Structures System Braced frames and share wall stretches are used to provide lateral stiffness to high-rise buildings. These arrangements are generally efficient for building about 30 to 40 storeys in height. For still taller buildings, the effect of lateral forces is increasingly intense, necessitating the use of so-called tube…

What do mean by Shrinkable or Expansive soil?

What do mean by Shrinkable or Expansive soil? Shrinkable or Expansive soil Expansive soils contain minerals such as smectite clays capable of absorbing water. When they drink water they increase in volume. The more water they absorb the more their volume increase. Expansion of 10 percent or more is not uncommon. This charge in volume can expect enough force on a building or other structure to…
