Definition The separation of Concrete ingredients from mixed concrete is known as Segregation. What Is Segregation Of Concrete? Separating concrete ingredients from each other refers to concrete segregation. Concrete segregation can reduce the strength of the concrete significantly. Concrete segregation may even cause leakage in a structure. Segregation occurs during the handling and placement of … Read more
Introduction Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is perceived as probably the best development in the concrete industry. Utilizing new admixtures and some mix changes, we can now create concrete that flows easily without segregating. Mixed concrete that segregates loses strength and creates honeycombed areas next to the formwork. Self-consolidating nature makes it very valuable because there … Read more
In this article, I will explain difference between Main Bar and Distribution Bar in Reinforcement Concrete slab. Normally, there are two types of reinforcement bars are provided in the construction of the Reinforced Concrete slab. 1. Main Reinforcement Bar.2. Distribution Reinforcement Bar. Main Bar And Distribution Bar Check out the below table to understand main … Read more
In this article you will learn about crank bar in beam, slab and column. Crank bar also called as bent Up Bar. I will also describe why crank is provided. Definition Crank Bar is also known as the Bent Up bar. It is provided on top of the reinforcement to resist negative bending moment/Hogging at the supports … Read more
In this article, I will discuss How to measure Evapotranspiration. Basically there are four most popular methods to measure Evapotranspiration. 1. Lysimeter: Lysimeter is a device used to measure actual evapotranspiration. The Amount of Precipitation receives and water loss due to Evaporation can be measured using Lysimeter. In this method, the growing crops are kept … Read more
In this article, I have discussed Quantity Estimation Of Cement and Sand in Mortar. How to Calculate Quantity Estimation Of Cement and Sand in Mortar: Quantity Estimation Of Cement and Sand in Mortar needed for Rate Analysis of Brickwork, Blockwork, Plastering, or Masonry work in the field of Construction. Mortar is used in different proportions … Read more
Evaporation: Evaporation is the process by which water gets converted from liquid to vapor. Evaporation occurs below the boiling point of the liquid. In an enclosed environment, a liquid will evaporate till the surrounding air gets saturated. The rate of Evaporation depends on various factors as follows. Estimation Methods Of Evaporation: Evaporation can be measured … Read more
Concrete Mix Design is the procedure of selecting suitable proportions of cement, sand, and aggregates for concrete to achieve the desired strength in structures. In the Concrete Mix Design process each and every ingredient of concrete is tested in the laboratory. The Mix Design process is normally implemented for the structure that needs higher grades … Read more
What is Retaining Wall? A retaining wall is a structural wall that is designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil. Lateral pressure can occur due to earth filling, liquid pressure, sand, and other granular materials behind the retaining wall. In other words, A retaining wall is a structure that retains material behind … Read more
Introduction Of Darcy Weisbach Equation Darcy Weisbach Equation is an empirical equation in fluid mechanics named upon Henry Darcy and Julius Weisbach. The Darcy Weisbach Equation associates the loss of pressure or head loss due to friction along the given length of pipe to the average velocity of the fluid flow for an incompressible fluid. To … Read more
