Quantity Estimation Through Excel Sheet
In construction projects, precise estimation is crucial for successful execution. It facilitates procuring the right materials, managing resources efficiently, and preventing delays or cost overruns. Various methods are adopted for quantity estimation in the construction industries, each with advantages and limitations. These methods range from traditional manual estimation to software tools and advanced building modeling…
Design Of Reinforced Concrete Beam as per ACI 318m Code
Nowadays, structure analysis and design are performed by using software. In the software, we analyze and design the structure as a frame instead of a separate structural element (i.e. slab, beam, and column), and, get the most accurate result in the minimum time. However, to interpret the design result, a designer must have a complete…
Adequacy Check for Singly Reinforced Concrete Beam
Sometimes we need to check the existing structure strength, which is called an adequacy check. In the adequacy check, we checked that the existing structural element is capable against the applied loading. The applied load can be the same as the designed load or enhanced due to several reasons. This sheet is prepared for adequacy…
Designing Procedure of Slab through Moment Coefficient Method
In this article, the structural design of the slab is briefly covered through the moment coefficient method. Before designing, the structure designer performs the following tasks: Here; Ly=longer span Lx = shorter span Design Procedure of One-way Slab (Ly/Lx > 2) when Ly/Lx > 2, the slab is designed as a one-way slab. In one-way…

Properties of Coarse Aggregates and Fine Sand that Effects the Strength Of Concrete
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregates, cement, and water, therefore strength of concrete depends on the considered ratio and properties of all these ingredients. However, in this article,we will discuss the properties of coarse aggregates and fine sand, which affect concrete strength. PROPERTIES OF COARSE AGGREGATES Coarse aggregates are those granular particles which…
Basic Design of Isolated Footing
An individual footing that transfers loads from a single column/pedestal to the soil is known as “Isolated Footing”. Isolated Footing may be rectangular, square, or circular. Following are the steps involved in the design of “Isolated Footing”: Calculation of Applied Loads Calculate Loads acting on the footing. Which can be; Determination of Footing Area Determine…
Calculation for Quantity of Cement, Sand & Coarse Aggregates
Concrete is a composite material of cement, fine sand, coarse aggregate, and water In this article, we learn how to calculate the quantity of cement, sand, and coarse aggregates of a design mix. Below is the examples, which explain the procedure: Manual Calculation Calculate the approximate quantity of cement, fine sand, and coarse aggregates to…
