Kuldeep Singh
Boundary line in the plan of the site means the outline of the site beyond which the ownership of the owner of the land where the site is, ends and someone else's land or government property begins. It is basically the boundary of the plot.

The idea of substitution of sand by quarry dust could improve the usage of generated quarry dust, hence lessening the prerequisite of landfill zone and moderating the hardly accessible normal sand feasible turn of events. Quality of the solid is essentially reliant on holding of the fine totals, which fills the voids between the coarse totals.
It is discovered that the quality of cement is more for w/c of 0.45 when contrasted and w/c of 0.5 as the amount of water builds, the compressive quality abatements when supplanted with quarry dust. This is because of the water retention property of quarry dust. It is notable that the w/c proportion increments as the quality reductions. Be that as it may, the perception with respect to compressive quality of quarry dust when contrasted with sand is nonlinear.
From the test study, it is presumed that the quarry residue can be utilized as a substitution for fine aggregate. It is discovered that 40% substitution of sand by quarry dust invigorates the most extreme outcome in contrast with typical concrete and afterward diminishes from half. The outcomes demonstrated that up to 40% substitution of sand by the quarry dust initiated higher compressive quality and the functionality of solid reductions as substitution increments. Accordingly, the natural impacts and waste can be altogether decreased.

Align the column on site
The most common and easiest method adopted on the site and instantly find out the vertical alignment of any type of column is the Plumb-Bob method.
First, you have to place the plumb on any side at the top of the column, and observe the of Bob, it should not be lying on the column and should not be hanging like a pendulum, it should just touch the column boundary.
Repeat the same on all sides of the column.
According to Bob inclination, you will know whether the column is aligned or not, if not, then in which direction it is inclined.

If both brick and the bond are stronger, then it will be best, but we have to choose one of them then I think it will probably bond between the bricks as the if the bond between the bricks are not stronger then small amount force will be able to break the wall.

Also, most of the forces that come to the brick are compression force; therefore, the brick will be able to tackle it completely.

Suspension bridge is required two cables strung on the high tower and on each side of the area to be a bridge. Then after the roadway is hung on vertical suspenders attached to the suspension cables.
Cable stayed bridge is similar to the suspension bridge, but It is different, in this bridge support cables are directly tied with support towers. It allows cantilever construction from inside to out easily.
