New concrete to reduce time needed for road works by more than half Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) scientists from the NTU-JTC Industrial Infrastructure Innovation Centre (I³C) have invented a new type of concrete called ConFlexPave that is bendable yet stronger and longer lasting than regular concrete which is heavy, brittle and breaks under tension. […]
T-Shaped Slab-on-grade foundation Frost Protected There are many variations of concrete slabs depending on the purpose of the slab. Below are some useful links for understanding concrete foundations, along with the three types of concrete foundations. T-Shaped A traditional foundation method to support a structure in an area where the ground freezes. […]
Are you facing any sort of trouble to design structural elements? You have not any kind of software to resolve the issue? Or you are unable to afford commercial software for design? Then you are at the right place at the moment by reading this article as this is going to share some excel sheets […]
This is another informative video presented by the Learning Technology. One will be familiar with the detailed process for estimating the concrete volume quantity of staircase. The process is very complicated to find out the concrete volume for a staircase. But it can be done easily if you use AutoCAD. Here the staircase has two […]
Mix design plays an imperative function in civil construction projects. With the aim of obtaining the accurate measurement of any construction site, the usage of this user-friendly concrete mix design spreadsheet is absolutely necessary. This handy construction sheet will supply you the amounts of mix design for your construction site. The concrete mix design refers […]
Load types on building: Loads that are implemented on a structural element can differ between numerous categories and figures. Loads can be of various types. It can be dead loads, containing both the self weight and covering material. It can be live loads similar to the human being load on a slab, wind loads which […]
This construction video will briefly teach you how to measure the binding material, fine and coarse aggregates determination for Plain Cement Concrete (PCC). Initially, the estimation is made for cement then sand and finally for crushed stone. Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) refers to the construction material that is usually applied as the binding materials. It […]
The use of reinforced concrete with steel rebar is increased after the invasion of environment factors on the constructions (Why Plastic Elements are used in Concrete Cover?). There is a need for concrete cover between the distance of the surface of concrete to the first level of bar. That is called Armator and is main parameter […]
Green concrete Geopolymer concrete, or green concrete, is part of a movement to create construction materials that have a reduced impact on the environment. It is made from a combination of an inorganic polymer and 25 to 100 percent industrial waste. Here is a list of 4 benefits to using green concrete for your next […]
To make an armed concrete ladder you will need to have boards and boards so first they could shape the formwork (Building a Reinforced Concrete Ladder with Visual Help). You also have to provide corrugated iron from 10 to 12 mm diameter. Place some boards on one side of the ladder to do the stakeout. […]
