About the Blogger
Hey, I’m BenzuJK. Welcome to CivilProjectsOnline.com. I am an Architect, blogger and a writer.
Architecture is interesting and fun. My college has given me some good experiences, some not so good. Life is a journey… it does not stop. There are always some goal posts to be achieved. Once we achieve the goals, we have to make new goals, to renew life itself.
The theme of posts ranges from Civil Engineering, Case Studies, Building Maintenance, Lighting arrangements, to mega-projects that bring glory to the field of Engineering, to discussing the latest innovations in construction techniques and building materials.

It is very appreciable & commendable to write a book in this young age. In our student life
We did not try like this.
I hope you shall try to write for other structural items like beams, column & its foundations.
I require some knowledge on raft’s foundation. If you have some written material please mail me.

You are not only a student, but a scholar as well. I can only imagine the how much success and achievement you will gain in the future.
I sincerely thank you for all your help, your information has not only find solutions to my project but has inspired to think about engineering in a complete different and invigorating way.
Please keep up the great work, and try to imagine how may other people you have helped and inspired, only a tiny few have responded in comment, there are so many others.
My deepest gratitude.

What is a “case study”? I’m not in architecture. Is that a phrase used in architecture. Otherwise, what would a case study of a studio apt be? Thx.

Hello Benzu,
Today I got into your site while googling for some information regarding repair of heavy equipment foundations encountering dynamic loading on a regular basis. I am not a civil engr, but a ChE with decades of interdisciplinary exp in the largest steel plant in India.
I am writing this in appreciation of your efforts, that too at this tender age, for your passion for documenting and sharing valuable technical information- a rare quality in most technical people !
Best Wishes for the Good Work ! Keep going.

#17 by Vidyashankar on February 3, 2011 - 5:36 pm
Hi benzu
Really good work, easy to understand simple words and figures. I am design engineer and got some useful topics which helped me a lot.
One suggestion why dont you invite people who write software for design of civil engineering elements. They can share small programs which makes a lot of help in civil engineering community
keep it Up and Good Luck

#19 by Jagat Verma on February 15, 2011 - 11:11 pm
what are the undergraduate engineering fields which can lead to structural engineering ?
I’m really confused, will u help me mis Benzu…………….
#20 by BenzuJK on February 17, 2011 - 8:25 am
Hello,
If you are so interested into going for Structural Engineering then go for Civil Engineering…
Civil Engineering is the ultimate field which will help you pursue Structural Engineering in future…
#21 by Jagat Verma on February 17, 2011 - 10:40 am
beside civil engineering course , is there is any other engineering fields that lead to structural engineering……………
#22 by BenzuJK on February 18, 2011 - 8:16 pm
Hello Jagat,
Civil Engineering is the only ultimate course which will help you get into Structural Engineering as your Postgraduate course…
#23 by champika on February 18, 2011 - 1:33 am
Great effort, I also like to joint, as a civil Engineer (pass out in 2011) in Sri Lanka. Is it possible?
#24 by Jagat Verma on February 19, 2011 - 11:41 pm
i mean if i do bachelor in architectural or construction engineering then at my master degree can i take structural engineering or can’t.
#25 by BenzuJK on February 20, 2011 - 10:29 am
There is an Architecture degree called “B.arch” which has got nothing to do with structural engineering…but you can take up Construction Management. U cannot take up Structural Engineering as your PG degree unless you go for B.E Civil…. I hope you got it this time.
#26 by Jagat Verma on February 20, 2011 - 11:32 am
thnx alot u r really genius…………. ma frn

Dear Benzu.
i am highly greatful to you as your articles help me to refresh my knowledge . i am started to construct a tree storey residential building for myself.I passed out in chemical Engg. diploma course in 1987 and all the basic civil Engg. knowledge was evaporated from my brain. After reading your lessons, I am feeling good.Thank you once again.

#33 by Balraj on June 17, 2011 - 7:37 am
Hi, I have recently laid foundation for house 45′ x 30′. It has 12 columns each made out of 12″ steel rods (4 nos.). I want to construct the house in stages. When I asked my contractor to build the coloumns to full height and the linter (roof) he advised that the construction should be with brick walls and coloumns. He says that making coloums and linter on top will not bear the weight. Can you guide me how to go about it, whether the 12 coloumns will be able to bear weight of linter. The coloumns were dug out at three feet deep.

Dear Benzu,
I came across your blog while conducting some work-related research. I would be really grateful if you could help me in my research inputs – I am working on a conference that deals with developments in Indian architecture / construction. If you could give me your email id,I’d like a few inputs regarding the kind of case studies/companies we could rope in.Can you please let me know if you can help? Thanks so much…take care!

I visited your website and found it is very useful for all the civil engineers. I appreciate yourself to continue your good services to the civil engineering society.
Your articles are making me to sharpen my knowledge.
Thank you very much.

I visit this site before somedays and I found very useful information on this site, this information really help me loat at presernt and in future.I really grateful of you for such nice information sharing on net.And I must say from my heart this site is best in the world for civil engineer.Wish you all the best and God bless you.Keep it up
#46 by DTV on November 5, 2011 - 2:14 am
Hi Benzu,
I find your site very useful and interesting, especially to Civil Engineers. You’re doing great, it’s really nice making your site’s name focused into civil engineering projects, despite of being into Architecture.
I salute you in your good understanding and ongoing endeavor. Unlike in my country, mostly but not all anyway, somewhat relating to economics, most of the 2 professions Arch/CE seems trying to isolate themselves – due to some legal issues about each one’s profession, Architects have it on this link http://www.architectureboard.ph/uploads/1286606272-k10oct8_ApecICApresentn.ppt , while civil engineers including me, also have legal issues as on this link http://www.docstoc.com/docs/16435814/The-Practice-of-Civil-Engineering-and-RA-9266-_Architecture-Act, our government has lot to do in resolving this. Both parties has its own rights and privileges anyway.
I do hope both professions do the same like as you do in here, as one in both fields of endeavor.
More power…
#47 by sudha on November 25, 2011 - 9:17 pm
I did my civil engg in 2000, but hardly did any site job due to a different work profile. Ur site is useful for people like me who like to refresh their basics or clear their doubts. U r doing a wonderful service to all civil engrs even though u r an architect urself. Keep up the good job. May ur tribe increase!
