                                               Plastic pollution has become a global environmental crisis, with millions of tons of plastic waste ending up in landfills, oceans, and other ecosystems every year. However, innovative solutions are emerging to tackle this problem, and one such solution gaining traction is the concept of plastic roads. Plastic roads, also known as plastic-waste roads or plastic-paved roads, are roads that incorporate plastic waste into their construction, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional road building materials.                                    The idea of using plastic waste in road construction is not new, but it has gained renewed interest in recent years due to the increasing aw...

                                BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology has revolutionized the field of surveying, bringing about significant advancements in the way surveys are conducted and managed. BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure, which allows for the creation, management, and exchange of information throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. In the context of surveying, BIM technology offers numerous benefits, including increased accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration. Here is a detailed overview of BIM technology in surveying: Data Capture: BIM technology enables surveyors to capture and collect data in a digital format, eliminating the need for manual measurement and recording. Surveyors can use various tools such as laser scanners, drones, and total stations to capture accurate and precise measurem...

Dampness In Buildings CAUSES OF DAMPNESS Dampness may be caused by: (a) Ground water (b) Rainwater and (c) Leakages from pipes. (a) Dampness due to Ground Water:  All buildings are founded on soils. Soil holds water for  along  time. Sometimes water level may rise and come in contact with foundation. Due to capillary action moisture from ground rises into foundation, floor and even in wall. (b)  RainWater :  May enter the building components due to various reasons. ( i ) From wall top:  If top of wall is not protected with impervious course like concrete, water  can enter the wall and keep it damp for a long time. (ii) From face of external walls:  Splashing of outer wall by rain results into moisture entering the wall. Poor plaster coat is the main source of this type of dampness. (iii) Improper fixing of  downtake  pipes:  If  downtake pipes from roof are not properly fixed , a thin layer of water ...

                                                    In today's world, sustainable building design has become a crucial aspect of the construction industry. As awareness about the impact of buildings on the environment and human health grows, more emphasis is being placed on incorporating green building principles and practices into the design and construction of buildings. Sustainable building design not only promotes environmental sustainability, but also improves the quality of life for occupants and contributes to the overall well-being of communities.                             Green building principles are based on the concept of minimizing the negative impact of buildings on the environment while maximizing their positive contrib...

                                                                        The Ram Mandir Ayodhya is a highly significant religious structure located in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Rama, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. The temple holds immense religious, cultural, and historical significance for millions of people, and its construction required meticulous planning and execution from a civil engineering perspective. Foundation and Soil Analysis:         One of the critical aspects of civil engineering in the construction of the Ram Mandir Ayodhya was the foundation design and soil analysis. The temple stands on a 67-acre site, and extensive geotechnical investigations were carried out to determin...

                                                            Workability and consistency are important properties of concrete that influence its handling, placement, and performance. They refer to the ease with which freshly mixed concrete can be mixed, transported, placed, and finished, as well as its ability to achieve the desired strength and durability when hardened. Workability and consistency are influenced by several factors, including water content, cement content, aggregate properties, admixtures, and mix proportions. Workability: Workability is the measure of how easily concrete can be mixed, transported, placed, and finished without segregation or excessive bleeding. It is an important property as it affects the efficiency of construction operations and the quality of the final product. Concrete wit...

                              When it comes to architecture, humans have pushed the boundaries of what's possible, creating awe-inspiring structures that defy gravity and stretch the limits of engineering. From towering skyscrapers to magnificent bridges, there are countless examples of human ingenuity and creativity. One such remarkable feat of architecture is the world's longest building, a structure that spans miles and captivates the imagination with its sheer size and grandeur. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the world's longest building and delve into its fascinating history, design, and significance.                     The world's longest building is the Great Wall of China, a marvel of ancient engineering that stretches over 21,000 miles (34,000 kilometers) across northern China. This colossal structure, also known as ...
