Rolled Steel Sections

  Rolled Steel Sections       Structural steel sections are hot rolled into different shapes and sizes to form the different sections. Cross section and size are governed by functional requirements, dimensional and weight capacity of rolling mills, arrangement of material for optimum structural efficiency. In a rolling mill molten steel from furnace is poured into continuous casting system where steel solidifies but it is not allowed to cool completely. Then hot steel passes through series of rollers. Such series of rollers squeezes steel into desired cross sectional shape. If the load to be resisted is small single rolled steel sections are used. If the single section is insufficient, single sections are combined or built up with angles/ channels/ I sections with or without cover plates and /or laced, providing sufficient resistance to heavy loads. Most commonly used hot rolled steel shapes are as follows: 1. Rolled Steel I -Sections 2. Rolled Steel C...

How to Use Optical Square and Open Cross Staff

Offsets can be accurately set up, particularly long offsets, by use of optical instruments like cross staff or optical square etc.    a) Cross Staff:             Two pairs of vertical slits, mounted orthogonally on a pole staff constitutes a simple instrument for setting out normal offsets as depicted in Figure. Each pair of slits can form a line of sight. It is fixed on a stand. Two persons are required to operate cross staff. Use of cross staff: 1. To find a foot of perpendicular on chain line 2. To set out the perpendicular from a given point.   b) Optical Square: It may be noted that at least two surveyor’s are required to set normal offsets while using cross staff. This disadvantage can be overcome if optical square is used for this purpose as only single surveyor can perform this task. Principle of optical square:   The angle between the first incident ray and the final reflected ray is twice that of t...

Difference Between Flexible Pavement and Rigid Pavement

 Difference Between Flexible Pavement and Rigid Pavement The term pavement means the surfacing layer only. It is defined as a structure having several layers bound together and placed at the top of the soil subgrade so that it provides a smooth surface for the vehicles. So the main objective behind construction of pavement is to provide a smooth surface for the vehicles. Pavements are divided into two types with respect to their structural behavior: 1. Flexible Pavements 2. Rigid Pavements Sr. No. Particular Flexible Pavement Rigid Pavement 01 Flexural strength Flexible pavements are those which on the whole have low or negligible flexural strength and are rather flexible in their structural action under the loads Rigid pavements are those which posses flexural strength or flexural rigidity. 02 Damage It has self healing properties as it deforms elastically ...
