As we all know, that roof is one of the primary parts of any construction. Have you ever heard of flat slab construction? The flat slab construction is a reinforced concrete slab supported by the concrete columns directly without the support of the beams. So, we can say that a flat slab is a one-sided…
Some of us think that creating the design for buildings is so easy. Also, you may think that anyone can construct a building there is no need for knowledge in engineering background. But that is not true, everyone can supervise and manage to build a home but the structural design can only be done by…
Waterproofing is one of the essential processes in construction to prevent your roof from leakages and dampness. Polymer cement waterproofing is one of the most popular roof treatment methods to stop leakages from water retaining structures like terraces, walls, basements, and related areas. Thus at Jacob Engineers, the best structural engineers in Chennai use advanced techniques…
Dampness in the building is unavoidable. As we all know, the walls and floors of the buildings retain some amount of moisture due to the high porosity in mortar joints and bricks. So, by applying suitable damp-proof treatments, the dampness can be prevented from penetrating through the interior space. The structural consultants in Chennai are…
Any building that you see retains some moisture after a heavy storm or rain.

A damp proof course (DPC) protects a building from moisture rising from the ground. Moisture damages the structural safety of the building. It is always good to know the causes and effects of leakage to take adequate steps to prevent them. This blog will discuss the ideal materials for effective damp proofing at length. Jacob…
The primary aim of a structural engineer is to ensure that the building is safe from a structural point of view. However, this stability might be compromised by something as simple as dampness. The structure should be free of moisture. Otherwise, they will not be suitable for habitation. Therefore, this blog will explore the causes…
Concrete is the second most-consumed material in the World. Structures constructed with RCC often suffer damages over a period of time and may fail before attaining their design life. Columns are the key structural elements in load transformation. If damage in a column is left unattended, this may lead to the collapse of the entire…
