It is the process of Post Tensioned Concrete slab after it has been poured and cured by means of a compressive force. High-strength steel tendons are used to form a network within the concrete that is then anchored to the foundation. The resulting post-tensioned slab provides structural rigidity at relatively low costs compared with most … Read more
Compacting factor test is a more precise and more accurate test for determining the workability of concrete. This is test is widely used in the construction fields and laboratories. The ratio of the weight of partially compacted concrete to the fully compacted concrete is called compacting factor also called a compaction factor. The maximum value … Read more
Scope The scope of sieve analysis is to get or provide information about the particles size distribution of coarse aggregates. Coarse Aggregates Coarse aggregates are those aggregates that are retained on a 4.75mm sieve when they are sieved through 4.75mm. Standard ASTM C136-05 Significance The process of dividing aggregates in the fraction of the same … Read more
Water absorption, effluorescence, dimension tolerance, hardness, and Compressive strength tests on bricks: If you have to choose one item that is most important in terms of Brick House Construction and building materials in different countries of the world, the answer will almost always be brick. Most of the time the bricks are used for creating … Read more
Related Theory The primary objective of the Vee-Bee test is to determine in situ or in lab workability of the freshly mixedConcrete. The Vee-Bee test provides necessary information related to the mobility and compaction ability aspects of freshly mixed concrete having definite water to cement ratio. During Vee Bee Test the relative effort is measured … Read more
