thanx!!!

i read it in "manual for the design of rcc building strcs" pg#17 n you are right it is UK published.you mean that short column and stocky columns both are exactly same ???

what steps are involved in vulnerability assessmnt?where from do we start?

this formula might be right sir but couldnt make the sense how a triangle is made out of spiral,perpendicular is made of pitch that makes sense but how pi*d is making the other perpendicular side ?

sure RANA sab but i am on the site in a far fledged area where i don't have electricity or cad available then how do i do that ?

thanx!!!

what are stocky columns?where and why they are used ??

how to calculate the length of spiral???if i use the pi*D that wud give the perimeter of circle but here is spiral.

thank you baz!!!if you dont mind plz upload the specific section of ACI code.i knew that you might have took my question other way round so that here i mentioned above load bearing column.

thanx :-)

i came to know in a book that in circular column there should be six bars used in minimum also one engineer said that according to ACI code six bars are required in a load bearing circular column .

thanx,i meant for quantities?

how the length of spiral tie in a column is calculated???

how vulnerability assessment of a building should be performed ?which software is better or should different software be used?

is fibre reinforced concrete used in Pakistan? what is the cost difference with normal rcc?what is the exact constituents of FRC?are they easily available in Pakistan?

it is very nice step to have separate thread for job posting it is great helping hand for the one in need!!!thanx admin

thanx RAna sab!!!

there isn't one designing which should be learnt there are many other aspects in civil engineering which could be shared,i suggested classes or meetings where different level professional can share there projects,problems and how they resolved them,i know very well that designing couldn't be taught

no it was nt years they took 6months to plan and fabricate and mounted in 90 days!!!

@aisha i dont think that sharing of knowledge or managing a class for juniors once a week is a big deal either you are in a design office or anywhere,a senior can just share the work he has been working at the time he has nothing to do extra !!!

I have an idea that if a seniors manage some weekly meetings on skype in which different topics are discussed !!! or there is a teaching site "wiziq"there lectures can be delivered free of cost and also can be recorded!!! i guess such activity can also help the freshers and engg students.so what wud seniors say about that suggestions

what about the DAM structure analysis and design as final year project???is it feasible and practical ????

how to assign supports in SAP2000???someone said that assign all supports fixed,there is no big difference?how to visualize the supports conditions and whether it really effect the analysis???

can we make concrete completely damp-proof,as i have plans to make a lawn on the first floor top due to space shortage i m thinking to have it on the first floor is it feasible.????

absorbtion test is made to check whether brick will allow the cement to hydrate completly or will absorb the water and leave the cement semi hydarted,i think even if bricks are used infill walls test is necessary otherwise cement will not stick to bricks and plaster it will spall off
