The report includes the steps done in sequence for the mentioned structure until the wall construction. The rest steps done after research and the photos taken from other structures to give a clear idea about the whole process and steps.

2. Introduction:

Structural Engineering is the field of engineering dealing with the analysis and designs the structures that supports or resist the loads. Its most commonly used in of buildings and structures is building the

Concert can used for general building work such as , namely columns, beams and slabs

• Cement: The main reason for using cement because it hardens when bending on the other hand cement can used to bind block by joints mortar also cement can make the concert impermeable

• Sand: it consisting of metal rock mineral. is a naturally or artificially occurring angular or round granular material.it can reduce cracks and shrinkage in concrete and also plastering , sand can used to mobilization course aggregate

• Coarse aggregate : this material is important to use because it helps to increase the crushing strength of concrete .

• Aggregate: in cement concrete to gain good quality aggregates are used in two groups. Sand and coarse
