In  geotechnical engineering ,  bearing capacity is the capacity of  soil  to support the  loads  applied to the ground. The term ' bearing capacity ' refers to the capacity of   soil   to support applied   loads   that are acting on it. In the   construction industry , this typically relates to the capacity of   soil   to support   building foundations , in which case, the   bearing capacity   can be calculated from the maximum average contact pressure between the   foundation   and the   soil   that would not produce shear failure. Three modes of failure limit  bearing capacity : General shear failure. Local shear failure. Punching shear failure. The ultimate  bearing capacity  of soil (qu) is the maximum pressure which can be supported without failure occurring. The net ultimate  bearing capacity  (qnu) does not take into considerati...

SOME  POINT  FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS TO REMEMBER 1: Weight of first Class brick should be not less than 3.85kg. 2: The Tensile strength of first class brick should be 3000 lbs / sq.inch 3: The normal Height of the building should be 315 4: One Hook length should be get with 9D formula where the D is dia of bar which used in stirrup. 5: Firs class brick should be absorb water 1/5 or 1/6 of brick weight. 6: Thickness of DPC should not be keep less than 2.5 cm 7: Normal Height of the window should be 90cm 8: The staircase Riser height of should be 6 cm which is too much comfort for the public. 9: The lintel thickness should be 15 cm 10: Normal and Local sand FM limit should be 0.5 to 0.8

The difference between Bridge and Flyover is based on the purpose of its usage and the location where it is built. BRIDGES Bridges are built to connect two points separated by a naturally occurring region like valley, river, sea or any other water bodies, etc. They are usually lengthy depending upon the width of the valley or river. Construction over river is tedious since foundation has to be carried out on the river bed. Bridges are usually built for trains, buses and cars. FLYOVER A flyover is also known as an overpass that is built over an existing road or a railway in such a manner that it crosses another road or railway. 1.Flyover is constructed for the purpose of making traffic less. 2. Flyovers are built over man made structures such as roads, intersection etc. to prevent congestion, and provide a more convenient way to navigate over the traffic. 3. It is built to provide safe and convenient passage for the pedestrians.
