Which type of Paint is Best for the Exterior walls of the Building?
Sir As per Is -383 1970, the % of wt retained on 12.5mm must be nil. But when i conducted a sieve analysis of 10mm aggregate, i found out that about 1700 grams were retained on 12.5mm. Now as per ...
Now you can use the aggregate between sieve size 10mm retaining and passing from 12.5 mm.use locally available materials to reduce cost. Still, the mix design does not change but gives the desired result.

What should be the standard Roof height?
The ceiling height of residential buildings is generally 3 m. However, the minimum height requirements as per the National Building Code are as follows You can find more about it in this link below: https://test.theconstructor.org/building/rooms-minimum-height-size-standards/5116/ The ceilingRead more

The ceiling height of public and industrial buildings are larger than residential buildings, due to various reasons like the people traffic, ventilation purposes and for easy operation in case of industries.
The minimum height of public buildings and industrial buildings is 3.6m.

See lesscan we consider drum mixing of concrete same as batch mix or nominal mix?
Yes. Of course. The method of mixing is not relevant to batching. So long as the quantities and proportions remain what they need to be, drum mixing or hand mixing, both are batch mixing. In fact, in the industry, mostly drums are used for mixing concrete because they save time and labour.

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.

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

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.

Apart from these many other properties like good sheen, highly elongation, etc must be in high extent in the paint for best performance.
Paints good to be applied on the outer walls are
Now the brands
In the current scenario, given the R & D development most companies like Asian paints, Berger, Nerolac have similar quality paint. Slightly ahead would be Dulux.
The most important thing is not the paint but the painter
In the case of Exterior Paints Dulux Weathershield, Nerolac Excel, Asian Paints Ultima Protek, and Apex Ultima pitch in. It is good to choose products that suit your requirements rather than brands while choosing paints for interiors and exteriors of houses.
