How I Prepared for SSC Exams

 There are many do's and dont's for SSC exams. But for me I always searched on what to do and how to prepare well. Day by day I always felt motivated about these exams and I went on preparing. And that is the time during lockdown. I found so many you tube channels in India and a very large platform where all the faculties are trying hard for the students to clarify the government SSC exams.  Logo of SSC There are many platforms such as wi-fi study, unacademy, grade up, adda 247, exampur, mahendra's: online training etc. and many more. And as a result many more online studies are coming. But the thing is that how to control our subconciouss mind from all these exam tensions. Because if we keep the tension for clearing it the more we get demotivated and more we feel reluctant about studying. Because for me exam is my another enemy which keeps me backward in my work. I always tried on something new to do in my life but this exam tensions kept my work back such as website devel...

REVIT AND 3DS MAX SOFTWARE FOR ENGINEERS

 BIM full form is Building Information System is a purposeful and designful software's for all Architects and Civil Engineers. Basically four software's are commonly used, they are AutoCAD 3D, Revit, Sketch-Up, 3DS Max. In all these software's a building or a bungalow can designed. However other software's are are also there such as Lumion, Archicad etc. are also used.  But the topic I have given is about Revit and 3DS Max, do you know why?????? Because today I am feeling very happy about these two software's. Two year's of my thinking wastage and patience gave me the result today. And today I have fully downloaded and installed it in my PC. I was extremely quite happy and thought that my pain has wasted and from today I can learn and start as my future career.  When I first saw about these software I thought of something different world that all the rich and wealthy people lives in. The building design looks autonomous and grateful to live in such a comfortable...

SURVEYING BY TOTAL STATION

 As you all know that survey is the most important part of construction field. For any type of construction work survey is needed. But the that is most important in now a days is Total Station and Auto-Level. The types of survey that you have learnt in colleges is all oudated (i.e., it has no use in today's world). It's all about kinds of survey that is used in olden days.  The types of surveys such as Chain Survey, Compass Survey, Plane Table Survey, Theodolite Survey has no use now-a-days. It's all outdated and Total Station, GPS Survey, Auto-Level only are all usable now-a-day's.  While doing survey by Total Station you should be careful with levelling the bubble level. As you all know this. But there might be some points where you should be careful, mostly in the case of undulated ground surface. Then you should have to adjust the spirit level. After doing this then you should have to find the center. All this step-by-step process you should have to learn with a wel...

COMPACTION OF SOIL IN RURAL AREAS

 You might have wondered what is the difference between compaction of soil in rural areas or urban areas😄😄😄😄😄. Compaction means compaction only where it is used to remove air voids.💥💥 But here I am going to discuss about the compaction in villages, i.e., what the villagers do in house for compaction of soil. They niether use machineries nor any rollers. For them hand-made compaction is only the best, whether it takes less time or more. But it dosen't matter to them. All they want to things at low cost. And specially for Indians where we seek for low cost to do any particular work.  Same is the case in our home also. We brought two labors to bring the upper layer soil to lower layer so that it can be place at the same level. So that there will be no difference between up-down or undulated land. And after placing the soil they used dhoormus( a local term used in our language) to compact it. At least two to three blows is allowed to fall on it so that it becomes cohesive a...

SEPTIC TANK USED IN HOUSEHOLD COMMUNITIES

 As we all know that, for what purpose septic tank is used for. Definitely for storing the flush-out materials that we excrete out from our body. But do you know for making septic tank there are various ways and technology.  Different types of Septic Tanks . For example, if you want to make house of your own then there will be of course bathroom, water/closet, urinal etc., then where you will prefer septic tank. Ok that's leave it, because it's your own land , own house so you can design as you wish. But if you want to make a flat, apartment, household community then where you will make. Definitely in the areas where you will find space. A screenshot from Pinterest  Ok now come to the most different example, if you get a project to make hospital, district court, 10 storey building in a city, municipality development project then where you will make that septic tank. Because there will be hither & thither you will have to make urinals, bathroom for professionals, and m...

TIMBER USED IN CONSTRUCTION WORK

 Timber is nothing but a wood, which is used for engineering works, such as shuttering, veneers, plywood etc. and many other uses. It can be classified into three distinct categories. Crown, Roots, Trunks. The outer layer between the heart wood and cambium layer constitutes the sap wood. A thin layer of sap wood in between the sap and inner bark is referred as cambium layer. The central most dark portion of the tree is called pith. The thin radial fibers extending from the pitch upto the cambium layer holding annual rings from the heartwood and sap are called medullary rays. Outer protecting layer protecting the cambium layer of tree is known as bark. Classification of trees:- 1) Exogenous trees:-   These trees increase in bulk in outward direction. These trees can be classified as conifers and deciduous trees. Examples of such trees are deodar, pine, oak, sal, teak etc. 2) Endogenous trees:-   These trees grow in bulk in inward direction. They possess fibrous mass along ...

SURVEYOR AND INTERIOR DESIGNER

In the coming days, surveyor and interior designer works are most common thing that will be really helpful for every branch of field. You can eventually start a business with this by opening a farm. Once you learn the work nobody is going to resist you. But you should have to brave enough for these. Every students after completing their graduation remains unemployed and thinking of giving a government exam or to get a peaceful job. But that's not the thing which we really want for. Everybody wants a secure life to live with their own energy and power. But few of them think how to evolve in start-up while others look for a secure job.  Well job is not the only thing that gives you all. You definitely know it. Because there are many dreams in your life where you want to do things of your own, you want to stay at your own risk. But by doing job you cannot find your time, rather you cannot give time at your own work. And the salary also depends on your boss, where he gives you every mo...

WASTEWATER ENGINEERING

  Waste-water engineering is the most important aspect for every Civil Engineers . It is used for the wastage of house water, industrial water, office buildings etc. and for other commercial purpose. It gives us the scientific knowledge viewpoint from every waste-water treatment plant. I felt very interesting when I got to know about this subject called "Environmental Engineering". There are lots of chapters in it but the most special I found is waste-water engineering . It gives me feeling into a different world and a unique knowledge 😖. Apart from all about aeration tank, grit chamber, secondary treatment, bilogical decomposition etc . and many other methods. Also from coming water from the sludge, villages, underground water and from all of that taking a sample and testing it in the lab gives me an immense ideas.  Well whatever be, but now I feel that Civil Engineers are the king of whole world . Making from roads, bridges, rails, tunnels, buildings, rivers, dams, ...

ENEMY OF EVERY CIVIL ENGINEERS

 Well you might be thinking about what kind of enemy I am going to talking about. Isn't it 😃😃😃? It's about rain or storm weather. It seems to be funny by hearing this but it's actually true and keeps us lack in work. And as well as for the company also. The work dosen't flow out what was planned the day before. So every workers feel tired of coming that day and they dosen't remain alert like other days.  What exactly happens during rainy day or why the workers dosen't work on that day? The answer is simple. The soil becomes wet and muddy and it may cause accidents also such as slipping down or even to carry heavy loads. And if the building is made of floors by floors then they never work on the slab. And wait the most important thing I forgot to say, concrete cannot be casted on that day. Otherwise it will lose it's workability and does not give proper strength due to the increase in more water-cement ratio.  Dry soil becomes muddy So what happens during...

CEMENT

 Cement is the most useful material used in building construction and in other construction works also. It is made of calcined limestone and clay minerals . It consists of various compounds such as lime ( 60-67)%, silica (17-25)%, alumina (3-8)%, calcium sulphate (3-4)%, iron oxide (3-4)%, magnesia (1-3)%, sulphur (1-3)%, alkali (<1%) All these different compounds have different varieties. Lime gives soundness, silica gives strength, alumina gives setting time, calcium sulphate increases setting time, iron oxide imparts reddish brown color, magnesia gives yellowish color, sulphur is used for unsound & alkali gives staining and efflorescence respectively.  Types of Cement:- 1) Rapid Hardening Cement.  2) Extra Rapid Hardening Cement. 3) Sulphate Resisting Cement. 4) Quick Setting Cement. 5) Low Heat Cement 6) Hydrophobic Cement. 7) High Alumina Cement. 8) Portland Pozzolona Cement. Portland Cement was discovered by Joseph Aspdin in 1824. He named it portland ...

CONCRETE

As a Civil Engineer we all know that concrete is the most important subject to make any structure. Because without concrete nothing can be made. For providing steel structures, first of all it should be fitted with concrete at the foundation level. For making any infrastructure, concrete is used. Bridges, tunnel, highway columns, underwater structures in all and everything concrete is the self made item for all. So the use of concrete and knowledge of it is very important as a Civil Engineer. Concrete Tests:-   So what are basic tests made for concrete. Well its very simple, as you had learned in your college life. Then also let me discuss with you once for a revision. The most common two important test are Slump Cone Test & Cubic Test. Yes, you have read it right. In every practical field these two test are done. Slump test is done to know its workability while cube test is done to identify the compressive strength . Other tests are also done such as Compaction Fa...
