Procedure to Estimate the Earthwork in excavation for Road Construction

Procedure to Estimate the Earthwork in excavation for Road Construction

Roads are constructed either in the plain area or in hilly areas. To calculate Earthwork in excavation for road, we have to use the separate formula for plain and hilly areas. Here I have described both types of estimation for road construction step by step with numerical examples. So, let’s start. A) Estimate the Earthwork in excavation for Road Construction in Plain Area Volume of…

How do you calculate the amount of earthwork in a canal

How do you calculate the amount of earthwork in a canal

We need to calculate the amount of earthwork to estimate the probable cost of the canal. Earthwork means the digging work of the soil below the ground. The ground is dug to provide the foundation of the structure. But in some cases, it is dug to construct the channel like drainage, canal, manage river embankment, etc. To design a canal we have to calculate the balancing depth along with the…

Different types of slope of channel | Fluid

Different types of slope of channel | Fluid

Different types of slope There are different types of channel and different types of flow of fluid which are decided due to different types of slope. Artificial channel for flow of fluid should be designed with appropriate slope because over slope may cause extra cost to construct channel and less slope may cause scouring on the bed of channel. Based on the depth of flow w.r. to the critical…

Lacey regime theory | Different types of bed forms – Fluid

What is Regime Channel? A channel is said to e a regime channel when it reaches a stable condition. A better method for the design of the regime channel was developed by Lacey. According to Lacey regime theory, the regime channel’s dimension is considered to attempt an equilibrium state called regime. He also differentiated between the initial regime and the final regime condition. The initial…

What is Hair Pin Bend or reverse curve? Why it is provided?

When developing a route in the hilly area we need to frequently set the horizontal curve and sometimes it becomes difficult or impossible to set the curve following normal geometric standards of design. When inscribing a curve inside the turning angle, the length of the route will be substantially reduced, which results in steep gradients. In such circumstances, it is preferable to round off the…

Can you pour concrete in the rain? What are defects and prevention?

Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, and water. A suitable amount of water is required to get the optimum amount of strength in the concrete. Water in concrete helps to gain the strength of concrete with the help of hydration. More amount of water cause aggregation and bleeding in concrete while less amount of water makes the concrete less workable and difficult to compact within…
