Self compacting concrete (SCC) can be defined as fresh concrete that flows under its own weight and does not require external vibration to undergo compaction. It is used in the construction where i… ...

A right water-cement ratio for concrete design will influence the compressive strength, permeability and the overall durability of the concrete structure. The idea of w/c ratio is that more the val… ...

There are numerous scenarios where site selection cannot be made merely based upon geological formations due to certain technical requirements. In those cases, slope stabilization techniques should be ...

Penetration value test on bitumen is a measure of hardness or consistency of bituminous material. A 80/100 grade bitumen indicates that its penetration value lies between 80 & 100.

Electromagnetic distance measuring instrument is a surveying instrument for measuring distance between two points through electromagnetic waves.

Compaction of concrete is mostly carried out with vibrators. Methods of concrete compactions, types of vibrators and results of poor compaction is discussed.
