Studs in concrete walls-are they necessary? Studs are a type of framing used to keep a structure in place. It’s most commonly found in walls composed of drywall or similar materials. Concrete walls, on the other hand, appear to be different. Do they have studs or do they not need themContinue Reading
Waterstop is a critical aspect that influences the engineering quality of expansion joints, deformation joints, and construction joints, and it’s exceedingly tough to fix if it’s faulty. As a result, the waterstop’s construction quality is a critical connection that influences the overall project’s quality. In this post, we looked atContinue Reading
The types of waterstops have their own set of benefits, uses, and drawbacks, resulting in a range of performance. Waterstop is a waterproofing material that is often used in concrete construction joints and deformation joints. Plastic waterstop, rubber waterstop, and metal waterstop are the three types of waterstop available. ToContinue Reading
This waterstop profiles selection guide will assist you in swiftly selecting the proper items to satisfy your project’s waterproof needs and save you time. Waterstop is essential for waterproofing a concrete structure, particularly joints, which are the weakest point and are prone to leakage of water or chemical substances. ToContinue Reading
Installing the waterstop in such a way that it produces a continuous waterproof diaphragm is a must. The installation of a waterstop system is important to its efficiency and effectiveness; most failures occur because adequate steps are not performed. Dumbbell and ribbed center-bulb waterstops should be positioned so that theContinue Reading
What is waterstop? A waterstop is a material inserted in concrete that has the sole aim of preventing water from passing through the joint. To put it another way, it’s not an elastomeric sealant applied to a joint’s exposed surface. Waterstops cannot prevent water vapor or capillary moisture potential fromContinue Reading
There are various types of concrete floor coatings. The most popular coating used in industrial settings is epoxy. The durable coating is available in various colors and comes with a polished, smooth finish. Moreover, cementitious urethane finish provides a unique antimicrobial solution for health facilities, restaurants, and food processing facilities.Continue Reading
A confinement zone in a column refers to a region where stirrup spacing must be smaller to increase ductility. Continue Reading
What are Structural Foundations? Structural Types of Foundations 1. Shallow Foundation 2. Deep Foundation What are Structural Foundations? Structural foundations are the part of the building that transfers its full weight into the soil. They support the columns and walls that transmit the structure’s weight. Importantly, structural foundations are anContinue Reading
How do the Civil Engineering Board Exam Problems are structured? The Civil Engineering Board Exam Problems and their implementation are presented here. Ever since the promulgation of the Resolution No. 02 Series of 1995 by the Philippine Board of Civil Engineering as provided by the Civil Engineering Law in theContinue Reading
