What is Compaction?

Compaction is said to be compression of soil by expulsion of air from voids. It is a quick process, requires short term loading. Dynamic loading is applied during compaction, both cohesion and cohesionless soil can be compacted. Compaction is always done to get maximum dry density, which helps in improving bearing capacity. Compaction is done before start of construction.</atom:summary><link>https://www.civilengineeringnews.tk/2020/04/what-is-difference-between-compaction.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sathya Prakash)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCbaIDCjAyo1CnZRn3tbr0N9XL3sL_gfdkx1YWrSwq6KtV6AeP1IoDzPQYzT_yQ5FMankPXFhsvM1UIVQe6JdblEl6HGREtfzdVCyaYEtDBZo54eF5iqgopO6vdB9A5r10hLEngbf1KBs/s72-c/two-construction-trucks-working-factory-field_1308-30379.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719545294714687256.post-5372235369459941739</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2020 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2020-04-09T19:35:51.663+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Civil Engineering</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Quantity Surveying</category><title>How to calculate number of Bricks, Cement and Sand for Brickwork Construction ?</title><atom:summary type="text">


Brickwork Construction

In most of the building construction projects brick is used in an higher proportion nearly about 70 to 80%. So, estimating the quantity of bricks and other material for construction is the basic step to do construction in an economy way.

Clay
Cohesion is said to be attraction between particle of same type or origin, type of soil where there is inter-particular attraction. In these type of soil particles are very fine and it is governed by surface fore rather than its self weight. Also, the friction between the soil will not happen hence shear strength will be contributed by only cohesive force and not internal friction.
