    This is a common building construction material. Nowadays concrete bricks are taking the place of traditional bricks.

    Traditional bricks are used for two types of walls. The testing of brick is the same for its uses in any type of wall.

    1. Partition wall
    2. Load-bearing wall

    Following are the site tests to check the good quality of bricks:

    1. Edges of bricks should be sharp and the surface should be scratch resistant.
    2. All the bricks are of the same size
    3. Bricks must have a size of standard brick i.e 19 cm X 9 CM x 9 CM. To check the length breadth and height take randomly 20 bricks and observe its edges.
    4. A good brick should have a bright and uniform color.
    5. soundness test on brick: select 2 random bricks and stuck with each other so that the clear and ringing bell sound must be produced. It indicates a good and strong brick.
    6. Structure and material of bricks: select any randomly break and crack it from the middle then observe the inner portion. It must be free from any type of lumps and materials compacted homogeneously.
    7. Efflorescence test: Bricks must be free from any types of salts. Take a brick and placed it in water for 24 hours. Take the brick out and dry it in a shade. After some time of drying if any white substance produced on the brick it indicates the amount of salt present inside bricks. This type of bricks must be avoided for construction

    Hi, To solve this query first you must have to know what is a composite structure and RCC structure.

    Composite structure building exists when the two different materials are bound together by any means in a very strong manner so that they can act as a single component give a structural point of view.

    Reinforced cement concrete buildings is a composite material but having low tensile strength and ductility which are encountered by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility. Indian forced cement concrete structures reinforcement abound with cement concrete and both the members are really strong and compression and tension.

    So if I concluded for G+ 12 types of painting reinforced cement concrete structures is used because it has very high tensile and ductility property and gives a high resistance against competition and tension also.

    Hope you get the concept.

    Lumpsum

    A lumpsum contract (or specified total agreement) is the customary method for acquiring development and still the most well-known type of development contract. Under a singular amount contract, a solitary ‘single amount’ cost for all the works has concurred before the works start. This is commonly fitting where the venture is very much characterized, when tenders are looked for, and noteworthy changes to necessities are impossible. This implies the temporary worker can precisely value the works they are being approached to complete. Lumpsum contracts may be less suitable where speed is significant, or where the idea of the works isn’t very much characterized. Different types of agreement that may be increasingly suitable in such conditions incorporate estimation contracts (utilized where the works can be depicted in sensible detail, yet the sum can’t), cost repayment contracts (utilized where the idea of the works can’t be appropriately characterized at the beginning, frequently utilized where a prompt beginning nearby is required), target cost contracts, etc.

    Focal points of lumpsum contracts:

    • Customer’s hazard is insignificant.
    • Less varieties.
    • The customer can orchestrate capital as indicated by the installment plan.
    • Temporary worker’s income is unsurprising.
    • The offering procedure is increasingly straightforward and unprejudiced.

    Impediments of lumpsum contracts:

    • Contractual workers chance is high (helpless profitability and bungle can lead the undertaking into a misfortune).
    • Helpless subtleties and specs in the structure can prompt venture debates.
    • Deferrals in the customer’s financing can postpone the undertaking.
    • The structure ought to be finished and accessible before the pre-contract process.
    • Obtainment times can be long.

    Provisional Sum

    The term ‘provisional sum’ is commonly surely known in the development business. It is utilized in valuing development agreements to allude either to work which is really temporary, as in it could conceivably be done by any means, or to work whose substance is unclear, with the goal that the gatherings choose not to attempt to value it precisely when they go into their agreement. A provisional sum is typically included as a round figure surmise. It is incorporated scientifically in the first agreement cost; however, the gatherings don’t anticipate that the underlying round figure should be paid without modification. The agreement normally gives explicitly how it is to be managed. A typical statement in substance accommodates the temporary whole to be discarded, and a fitting valuation of the work really did to be fill in for it. In this general sense, the term ‘temporary aggregate’ is near a term of workmanship, yet its exact significance and impact rely upon the conditions of the individual agreement.

    Moisture readings must be taken to assure that not more than 12% moisture content is in the plaster prior to the application of any coating.
