    Basically in construction, deadmen refers to a heavy weight, typically a mass concrete block used to provide support or resistance to a load. These blocks are usually embedded firmly in soil, however some blocks may simply rest on the ground surface. A deadmen also referred to as a jacking lug.

    River sand M sand
    Shape is round & smooth Shape is cubical, angular & rough texture
    Less cement paste is reqd to make concrete Req’s more water & cement
    Sand has high cost but using it makes work economical Sand is cheaper but using it will make it increased cost
    Contains less microfine particles Contains more microfine particles
    Doesn’t affect any property, best choice Affects strength & workability of cocrete
    Moisture content present Less or no moisture content
    Strength is less High comp strength & flexural strength but should be well graded.
    Slit & over-sized materials& marine products present should be removed by washing & screening. No slit & over-sized materials & marine products
    Used for RCC, plastering & Brick or block laying work Diff grades is used for diff works.

    Reinforcements used in the process of prestressing:

    Especially in case of prestressing, we are using strands of Steel and it’s called tendons.

    Tendons are made of high strength Steel.

    Three major types of reinforcements which are used in Prestressing:

    1. Spalling R/f
    2. Equilibrium R/f
    3. Bursting R/f

    Combination of reducing the structural thickness reduced conventional reinforcements quantities and fast construction often results in un prestressed structure.

    Thank You.
