Grouting has many applications in different fields, such as vibration control, tile installation and bridge repairs. In this blog post, we will briefly introduce 10 grouting applications and how grouting can help improve the performance and durability of the structures. Vibration control: Grouting can be used to reduce the vibration and noise of machinery and…
There are various grouting techniques that are used widely that will depend on the type of grout being applied, the surface being grouted, and the project specifications. Grouting is a widely used ground improvement technique in civil engineering, where a fluid mixture is injected into the soil or rock to fill voids, strengthen the ground,…

Live loads or otherwise called super imposed loads are one important type of loading. To be considered by the engineer while designing a structure to ensure their safe design. Loads are the forces that may cause stresses, deformations, displacement and accelerations on a building. A structure or building component may be subject to various types of loads….
Forces acting on structures for buildings are known as structural loads. Structures carrying these loads can be classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads and longitudinal loads. The minimum and maximum requirements for each building vary based upon the country and structural code. Design, location, structure, type of material all influence the loads acting on the…
When natural rainfall falls, crops are cultivated. But what happens when there is no natural source of water? Irrigation is nothing but artificial application of water to the land or soil. Irrigation is helpful in the growing of agricultural crops, sustenance of landscapes, re-vegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. But,…
