A Trip to Konark Sun Temple

Date: December 15,2019,Sunday

I am one member of Team Civil Center. A Building Consultancy company from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I was traveling together with my teammates and it was an immersive and amazing experience. So I am sharing the journey to The sun city "konark" !

We were five members and we reside at Bhubaneswar. Konark is only 65km from Bhubaneswar so we had booked a cab at Rs. 1700. There are various options to stay at konark to all types of budget, but we planned to return back on the same day.

We started our journey from 6 am after crossing the toll gate. We took a small break to have Dahibara and coconut water as refreshment. After 15 mins we continued our journey again. The Long drive was pleasing as the wide roads were decorated with green trees on both Sides.

After 30 mins we had reached our destination, we parked our car in the government parking lot and paid 20rs.

To explore the architecture of konark we moved towards the temple by passing a handcraft street of 700 mtrs. We had booked 5 tickets of Rs. 30 each to enter the gate.

As it was Sunday hence a holiday so more than 5000 tourists were there.

Due to some natural calamity some re-construction and repair works were going on to save the architectural marvel.

The temple was designed in the shape of a huge chariot drawn by 7 horses on 12 pairs( 24 wheels), size of 9 feet 9 inch in diameter.

I visited konark several times during my college. Guide explained me that konark wheels are used to know about time of the day. The huge wheels of konark is a major attraction of visitors and many visitors take photographs in front of the wheels.

At the Front there are three doors and in each door the same view of Konark temple is visible like a miracle or you can say science. It indicates that the Civil Engineers and Architects at that time had so much knowledge and skills that they could create such marvels.

Nowadays visitors are banned from entering the temple as it is risky, but the outer beauty of the temple is unbelievable.

The temple is designed in such a way that the first ray of sun passes through the gate and creates a mesmerizing view.

The staircase of the monument has a riser and tread of around 1feet as ancient people were more taller and stronger than us.

After exploring the view we had lunch at Odisha hotel and the Thali (Meal) cost Rs. 180 each.

Then we returned back to Bhubaneswar.

How to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software. We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam. Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 ba...

How to Provide Reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing. In this blog, we are going to discuss how to provide reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures. So let's start the step by step procedure Step 1 : At first we must make sure that our model is correct and after that we will look for the column reinforcement application. Step 2 : Search result will give us lots of options which includes application of column (for both the RCC and steel). Step 3 : Now from there we have to select an app for RCC. column. Step 4 : We will go for Application no. 57 which is "Column automated reinforcement layout". Step 5 : Select and define the application according to our requirement. Now select all the columns by dragging the mouse from right...

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more. So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 . Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam colu...
