    Wrought iron is a tough malleable form of iron which contains very less carbon percentage of 0.05 to 1%. It is very soft in nature and have high tension strength. It is also magnetic and ductile in nature.

    As we know 1:2:4 ratio is for M15 concrete. Generally Water quantity is calculated as per below formula: Water Quantity=W/C ratio*Cement Quantity Generally W/C ratio is lays between 0.4 to 0.6 as per IS 10262(2009).

    As we know 1:2:4 ratio is for M15 concrete. Generally Water quantity is calculated as per below formula:

    Water Quantity=W/C ratio*Cement Quantity

    Generally W/C ratio is lays between 0.4 to 0.6 as per IS 10262(2009).

    Now first we have to assume cement quantity, so let’s assume cement quantity=50 KG and W/C ratio=0.5

    Now let’s calculate water quantity for 50 KG cement.

    Water Quantity=0.5*50=25 liter.

    You can use Self Compacted Concrete to use for narrow columns. It also used where the reinforcement is heavy and process of compaction is not available/difficult to compact.

    Sugar meddles with the concrete restricting cycle in the solid. Note that solid and concrete are not equivalent. Concrete is made by consolidating concrete, water and a filler material called a “total,” like rock or sand. Most concrete is produced using limestone and dirt. It responds with water to frame a solidifying glue that ties the total together to create hard concrete. This solidifying cycle is called hydration.

    One hypothesis recommends that when the solid combination contains sugar, the sugar particles connect themselves to the hydrating solidify and repress the synthetic responses associated with hardening the material.

    sugar builds the centralizations of calcium, aluminum, and iron in concrete. The sugar particles consolidate with these metals to frame insoluble compound buildings that coat the concrete grains. A few key synthetic cycles that solidify the solid are then hindered. Hydration hinders the cycle and the solid takes more time to set. Thus, sugar is known as a retarder. Retarders increment the setting season of cement.

    Refined white sugar is extraordinary compared to other retarders. Lactose, the sugar found in milk, is a moderate retarder. Trehalose, a sugar created by different parasites, is non-hindering and doesn’t influence setting time.
