    Water proofing is done using shotcrete not concrete. Basement should be built using concrete . Water proofing can also be done by polymer membrane systems called tanking ( refer to CIRIA). I used ACI 506 to design shotcrete. Its should be of 28Mpa strength using 12mm down aggregates.

    The most active part of cement is the material finer than 10-15 nanometer. Furthermore, a fine grind of cement clinker is able to coat the surfaces of aggregates more completely than coarse material enabling intimate contact of the resultant paste or mortar.

    The admixture which we use in the concrete for delaying its setting time then such type of admixtures are called as retarders. Gypsum is a retarding agent which we add in the cement during its manufacturing process. Gypsum is work as a starting agent as well as it restricts soundness in the cement.Read more

    Apart from gypsum of various admixtures already listed in some previous post.

    The chemical name of gypsum is calcium sulphate.

    Thank you.

    For 10 x 10 ft room first calculate the volume and then find the no. of brick with the following method Room walls volume can be found by Centre line method or long wall short wall method. Let us take an example for 10 Cu.m masonry Size of bricks 230 x 115 x 75 mm Volume of brick 1.98 x 10-3 Cu.m AdRead more

    For 10 x 10 ft room first calculate the volume and then find the no. of brick with the following method

    Room walls volume can be found by Centre line method or long wall short wall method.

    Let us take an example for 10 Cu.m masonry
    Size of bricks 230 x 115 x 75 mm
    Volume of brick 1.98 x 10-3 Cu.m
    Adding cement mortar (Thickness 10mm) 240 x 125 x 85 mm
    Volume of new brick 2.55 x 10-3  Cu.m
    No. of modules =10/2.55 x 10-3
    = 3922 No. 
    Adding wastage 12% =3922 + 12%
    = 4393 No.

    Here module is brick along with the cement mortar on all side.

    Now, this is for 230mm wall, this method is not applicable for partition wall, as it is measured in sq.mt it is having different method.

    Hope this help!

    Thankyou.

    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 viewRead more

    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.
