    Generally, for measurement of infiltration on the field we use the Cylindrical Infiltrometer of diameter 30 cm and 60 cm. Basic infiltration rate for a different type of soil are as below: If the infiltration rate is 1-5 mm/hour that it is Clay. If the infiltration rate is 5-10 mm/hour that it is ClRead more

    2. If the infiltration rate is 5-10 mm/hour that it is Clay Loam.
    3. If the infiltration rate is 10-20 mm/hour that it is Loam.
    4. If the infiltration rate is 20-30 mm/hour that it is Sandy Loam.
    5. If the infiltration rate is greater than 30 mm/hour that it is Sand.

    Fly levelling
    it is a very approximate form of levelling in which sights are taken as largeas possible. In this method a line of levels is run to determine approximately reduced levelsof the points carried out with more rapidly and less precision. It is a levelling that is done toconnect benchmark to the starting point of the survey line. In this levelling only back sightand fore sight readings are taken and auto level is moved strictly on the line joining benchmark and starting point of survey line

Please can someone let me know what the minimum ceiling height should be for a large bedroom, it’s about 20 metres long by 5 metres wide?

  1. Sagar Rao

    10 feet is minimum ceiling height from finished floor level. Ceiling fan will consume at least 1 feet 6 inches from top. Average height of a man considered as 6 feet, when he/she raised his/her hand it will come to 7 feet 6 inches to 8 feet. So clear distance will be minimum 6 inches from palm top tRead more

    well in a very shot manner you can use that AI in lean construction.as well as you can implement it in BIM world, Some time you can use this AI tools in Management level in construction field for visualization problem.

    For using robot in construction or civil engineering field AI can control that robot.

    AI also helps in development of robots and automated systems. role of artificial intelligence is
    reported in the case of smart materials. The smart system refers to a device which can sense changes in its
    environment and can make an optimal response by changing its material properties, geometry. Both the sensor and the actuator functions with their appropriate feedback must be properly integrated

    Structural Engineering – In the field of structural engineering, they are used to evaluate durability. Not only
    the smart materials or structures are restricted to sensing but also they adapt to their surrounding environment
    such as the ability to move, vibrate and demonstrate various other responses as well as for monitoring the
    integrity of bridges, dams, offshore oil-drilling towers where fiber-optic sensors embedded in the structures are
    utilized to identify the trouble areas.
    Waste management – Manual disassembly of the waste is a challenging, expensive and time consuming task
    but the use of smart materials could help to automate the process. Even it shows a role in food waste
    management.
    Concrete mix design – Concrete mix design is difficult and sensitive. The concrete mix design is based on the
    principles of workability of fresh concrete, desired strength and durability of hardened concrete which in turn is
    governed by water-cement ratio law. The strength of the concrete is determined by the characteristics of the
    mortar, coarse aggregate, and the interface. For the same quality mortar, different types of coarse aggregate with
    different shape, texture, mineralogy, and strength may result in different concrete strengths.
    Estimation: artificial neural networks (ANNs) are most suited for developing decision aids with analogy-based
    problem-solving capabilities in the estimation.

    As well as you can use AI in your network system that can be

    Water content is determined by the Karl Fischer titration method and it consists of only water i.e moisture content. ... Loss on drying (LOD) is determined by heating the sample below its melting point in an oven and it includes all volatile matter including water content and solvents.

    Hi Raghav,For making any structure there is need to understand the need of the user.

    All things are planned accordingly to the need of user. There are various things which are taken into consideration before planning any structures are listed below as follows:

    1. Selection of suitable land for construction.
    2. Understanding the plot area and budget which owner can afford to make his home
    3. Understanding demands of owner may include his preferences, choices and his vision for his dream home. Then it is advised to visited a certified architect
    4. Then after making suitable plan from architect it’s advised to visit a structural engineer for execution of plan.
    5. A final submission plan form architect needs to be approved by the local authority like municipal corporations and municipal councils.
    6. It’s time to get an experienced contractor for ground level construction.

What are the advantages of running electrical cables through PVC conduits in the walls over running in the slab? Are there any problems which may come up in the future if we run electrical cables conduits in the slab?

    The main advantage, from my point of view, is that it may so happen that we may want to demolish a wall in the house for what so ever reason, but we can't dismantle or harm the slab since its a structural member.

    The main advantage, from my point of view, is that it may so happen that we may want to demolish a wall in the house for what so ever reason, but we can’t dismantle or harm the slab since its a structural member.

    The second reason is that a slab may run continuously throughout the structure; hence we can lay straight cables throughout the structure and provide connection where ever required, but in case of walls, we may not find this convenient.

    Also, if the walls are periphery or exterior walls, which may be directly exposed to rains, then it may cause Earthing issues.
