THE BASICS OF REBAR: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS The Basics of Rebar If you have ever wondered what gives strength and stability to the concrete structures that we see around us, the answer is (most commonly) rebar. Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is the steel rods that are embedded in concrete that provide tensile strength to what is actually and prevent cracking. Rebar comes in different shapes and sizes, but the most common type is deformed steel rebar, which has ridges or indentations along its surface to create a better bond with the concrete. Deformed steel rebar has been used in the construction industry for over a century, and it has revolutionised the way we build. With rebar, and using elements such as beams, beam ties , rebar mesh, and reinforced walls, we can create taller, stronger, and more durable structures that can withstand natural disasters, environmental changes, and human activities. Some of the most iconic buildings in the world, such as...
IS 456 - 2000 all updates and changes every civil engineer should know The Civil Engineering industry's foundation is based on all norms and standards. Civil engineers must know all codes and standards that will be complied with in their field of work. The code and compliances are made to ensure the safety and durability of structures. Each code holds its importance, similarly IS 456 - 2000 describes the practice for general structural use of plain and reinforced concrete. In this blog, we will explore all updates and changes that every civil engineer should know about IS 456 - 2000. What is IS 456 and IS 456 - 2000? IS 456: The IS 456 was published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and describes the practice of general use of plain and reinforced concrete in India for construction projects. It is a widely used standard. For the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures original code IS 456:1978 was introduced. IS 456 – 2000: The IS 456 - 20...
Humans have been building huge engineering projects for as long as recorded history (even beyond). While most have fallen into disrepair and disuse over time, some, incredibly, have managed to survive. Some even rarer examples still function (mainly) as originally intended. Here are ten of the oldest civil engineering projects that still serve people today. 1. The Furlo Pass tunnel on the Via Flaminia can still be used Originally built: Circa 76 AD to 77 AD The Furlo Pass , also known as Gola del Furlo, or Passo del Furlo in Italian, is a breathtaking gorge in central Italy’s Marche region. It lies along the Via Flaminia, an ancient Roman road, and runs close to the Candigliano River, a tributary of the Metauro. The Furlo Pass tunnel is roughly 126 feet (38.30 meters) long and 19.5 feet (5.95 meters) high. 2. The Gonabad qanat water management system is still used Originally built: Circa 700 BC A qanat is an ancient water management syste...
