Radiography test is a non-destructive testing method employing X-rays or gamma rays to inspect internal flaws in materials. Widely used in manufacturing, aerospace, and construction, it ensures component integrity. Recent advancements, like digital radiography and AI integration, enhance efficiency and accuracy in defect detection, making RT crucial for quality assurance across industries.
Column jacketing enhances the load capacity, durability, and seismic resistance of structural columns by adding materials like concrete, steel, and fiber-reinforced polymers around existing columns. This method is essential for retrofitting aging structures, meeting safety standards, and improving resilience against various loads, particularly in earthquake-prone areas.
Computed Radiography (CR) is a modern non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that replaces film radiography with a digital imaging process. Computed…
Magnetic Particle Test (MPT) is a widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) method. It detects surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and their alloys. This technique is renowned for its speed, cost-effectiveness, and relative ease of application, making it a preferred choice across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, marine, power generation, and oil and gas sectors
Shrinkage of concrete refers to the reduction in its volume over time, primarily due to moisture loss and chemical reactions during hydration. This phenomenon can lead to shrinkage cracking of concrete, compromising structural integrity and durability. Understanding what shrinkage of concrete is involves recognizing its various forms, such as drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, and thermal shrinkage.
Well foundation types are essential in civil engineering for structures over water bodies or weak soils. Engineers widely use deep foundations, known as caissons, to support bridge substructures, piers, abutments, and other heavy-load applications. Their ability to transfer loads deep into the ground makes them a preferred choice in deep foundation engineering. The main types of well foundations include circular wells, double-D wells, twin circular wells, and rectangular wells. Each type offers unique advantages in terms of load distribution and construction feasibility.
Slipform shuttering is a continuous construction method where concrete is poured into a continuously moving formwork, allowing for the seamless creation of vertical structures. This technique, known as slipforming, enables the efficient construction of tall edifices such as silos, chimneys, and core walls in high-rise buildings. By employing slipform formwork, builders can achieve monolithic structures without horizontal joints, enhancing the overall strength and durability of the construction.
Waffle slabs are ribbed reinforced concrete slabs. A waffle slab often referred to as a ribbed slab, is a structural component that is plain on top and has a grid pattern on the bottom. A waffle slab also called a two-way joist slab got ribs running perpendicular to each other in two directions on the underside. This slab resembles pockets of waffles because of its grid pattern. Hence they are named Waffle slab systems.
Eutrophication in US freshwaters costs approximately $2.2 billion per year. Astonishing, right? Want to know more about this process that can wreak havoc if left unchecked? In this blog, let’s visit a eutrophied lake and understand the entire events that lead to eutrophication and its effects.
Furnace bottom ash (FBA) is a waste material, it generally has no pozzolanic property, and hence it cannot be utilised as a cement substitution material like fly ash. Pond ash is a waste product from coal-based power plants. the workability of the pond ash concrete (PAC) reduces with the increase in percentage of fine aggregate replacement
