Slump Test

Concrete slump test is to determine the workability or consistency of concrete mix prepared at the laboratory or the construction site during the progress of the work. Concrete slump test is carried out from batch to batch to check the uniform quality of concrete during construction.

CURING of Concrete

CURING METHODS - METHODS OF CURING OF CONCRETE
Definition:
Curing can be described as keeping the concrete moist and warm enough so that the hydration of cement can continue. More elaborately, it can be described as the process of maintaining a satisfactory moisture content and a favorable temperature in concrete during the period immediately following placement, so that hydration of cement may continue until the desired properties are developed to a sufficient degree to meet the requirement of service.

Estimation of materials in Building construction.

ESTIMATION OF MATERIALS IN A BUILDING STRUCTURE

In this post we will see about the estimation of quantities of different materials required in the construction of building structure.
Generally this estimation of quantities is undertaken by quantity surveyor eventhough every civil engineer must be well aware of  this simple estimation of building materials. Let us proceed by using simple examples and easy to understand terminologies and english.

BATCHING OF CONCRETE

Here is all about Batching of concrete which a engineer should be knowing for a better workmanship.
Batching of concrete means measuring different ingredients of concrete (i.e. cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water) before mixing it. Batching can be done by
· Volume Batching
· weight Batching

COMPACTION

Hello, This article is about compaction of concrete. However everyone in civil engineering field will be aware of this term but majority of them will not be knowing some of the important things of compaction. In this article all the necessary points are covered.
Once the concrete has been placed, it is ready to be compacted. The purpose of compaction is to get rid of the air voids that are trapped in loose concrete.

All about Civil Engineering

Hello friend This is the first post of my new blog Civil Engineering Information.
today my article will be about origin of civil engineering and sub-disciplines of the same.
Civil engineering has evolved tremendously in aspects relating to building, designing and maintaining the world’s built and natural environments. Historically, the term ‘civil engineering’ did not exist. It is only recently that engineers whose duties were civil and non- military were categorized as civil engineers to differentiate them from military engineers. A military engineer is one who makes ‘machines of war’. In ancient times the bridge, waterways, fortifications and machines of war were all projects also projects undertaken by the military engineer.
