Trimix concrete flooring is a very strong type of flooring that is usually found in places where heavy machines are used. This type of flooring can handle a lot of wear and tear without getting damaged. The reason why it’s mostly used in industrial settings is because it can support light weight cranes, carrier vehicles … Read more
In this article you will learn about bulking Of sand. It is also called as sand bulkage. What Is Bulking Of Sand? When Sand contains moisture, the water forms a thin film around the sand particles. This increases the distance between the particles thereby increasing the volume of the Sand. This phenomenon is called the … Read more
Before starting a description of Epoxy Coated Rebar, we will know about Rebar. Rebar is an abbreviation used for reinforcement bar. Rebar is important to compensate for the fact that whilst concrete is very good to resist compressive force, it is relatively weak in tension. By casting rebar into concrete, it is able to carry … Read more
In this article, we will describe the perfect truss, imperfect or deficient truss, and redundant truss. First, let’s know what is Truss. A Truss is a structure consisting of straight Slender Rods connected only at their joint. Slender Rod – If the diameter of rods is smaller compared to its length then this type of rod … Read more
Methods Of Structural Design Structural design can be accomplished using three primary methods: working stress, limit state, and ultimate load. Initially, the working stress method was utilized for designing both Reinforced Concrete and Steel structures. However, due to certain drawbacks of the working stress method, the Ultimate Load method was introduced. In recent times, most … Read more
As we know we have to find the solution to repair concrete crack manually in the past. Now we have another alternative method to replace this process called Self Healing Concrete. In this article I will explain self healing concrete in detail. Definition Concrete that can fix its cracks on its own, either autogenously or … Read more
Tie bar is a metal bar that contractors insert across a joint between two adjacent concrete slabs to prevent differential movement between them and provide load transfer. See the below image of tie bar. To ensure that the individual slabs of concrete pavement are connected to each other and don’t move independently under traffic loads, … Read more
Estimates suggest that the production of traditional cement accounts for around eight to ten percent of the world’s total emissions of carbon dioxide. This is because the process of crushing and heating limestone and clays to produce cement requires a substantial amount of energy and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. Engineers can reduce the … Read more
Nano Concrete Introduction The addition of nano-sized particles to concrete can enhance its properties, such as strength, durability, and self-cleaning abilities. Nano concrete has a denser and stronger material due to the addition of nanoscale particles that fill in the spaces between larger concrete particles. Nano concrete is more resistant to water and chemical damage … Read more
In this blog post, I will try to explain Why TMT Bars are better than HYSD Bars. I will also explain differences between TMT bars and HYSD bars. What Is TMT BAR? TMT stands for ‘Thermo Mechanical Treatment’ through which they are produced. They are manufactured by rolling hot steel wires and then passing them through … Read more
