Glimpse Of Structural Audit Of Steel Structures & RCC Buildings.
Why Structural Audit?
Increases Life Of Structure
Early Actions Prove In Economical Restoration
Saves Human Life
Compliance Of Bye Laws
-
“As per clause No.77 of Bye-Laws of Cooperative Housing Societies: “The Society shall cause the ‘Structural Audit’ of the building as follows:
- For building aging between 15 to 30 years once in 5 years
- For building aging above 30 years Once in 3 years”
Procedure Of Structural Audit
- Step 1: Study of architectural and structural drawings, structural stability certificate of existing structures.
- Step 2: Visual Inspection - Recognize the types of structural defects, Cracks, Deterioration, Deformation, Alteration, Overloading case if any.
-
Step 3: Non-Destructive and Destructive Testing – Rebound Hammer Test to measure surface hardness of concrete,
- Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test to assess homogeneity of concrete,
- Core Sampling & Testing: To measure strength, permeability, density of concrete.
- Carbonation Test: To assess depth of carbonation & pH of concrete
- Dye Penetration test for steel structures.
- Step 4: Analysis and Design efficiency – Preparation of analytical staad model to check current strength of structure.
- Step 5: Strengthening and Retrofitting
- Step 6: Stability Certification
Reasons Why Civil Engineers Are Switching To IT Industry
- Lack of Practical Knowledge: Many civil engineers lack skills that are in high demand by employers, such as proficiency in certain software programs or knowledge of specific construction techniques.
- Low Pay: Due to lack of practical knowledge, civil engineers in India may get lower pay than other engineering disciplines, which is discouraging.
- No Internship: More than 60% of civil engineers do not go through any internship program. And more than 53% of civil engineers have not attended any Industrial Expert Lecture. This Leads to lack in required skill set / knowledge.
- Experience Level: Employers may prefer to hire civil engineers with some experience in the industry. This can make it challenging for new graduates to find jobs.
Importance Of Learning Form Industrial Experts.!
