    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.

    Hi,

    The prestressing steel used for prestressed concrete can take the form of

    1. Tendons
    2. Cables
    3. Wires – (Plain wire and Indented Wire)
    4. Strands –(Two-wire, three-wire and seven-wire strand)
    5. Bars

    The types of prestressing steel are:

    1. Cold Worked Prestressing steel
    2. Stress-relieving prestressing steel
    3. Strain tempered Prestressing steel

    Read More: Specifications of Prestressing Steel in Prestressed Concrete

    Difference between Reinforcing Steel and Prestressing Steel

    Both R.C.C and Prestressed Concrete employs steel bars or wires in order to sustain tension. But both the types of concrete make use of different steel.

    The steel used by R.C.C concrete can be:

    1. Solid Bars with Ribs
    2. Wires
    3. Metal Mesh

    The steel used in Prestressed Concrete are wires, strands, solid bars as mentioned above. Prestressed concrete uses high tensile strength steel that is manufactured by increasing the carbon content in steel compared to ordinary mild steel used in R.C.C.

    In prestressed concrete, the steel used is tensioned or prestressed. This results in loss of prestress in a range of about 20%. The use of mild steel bars or HYSD bars bring a greater loss than this value. Hence, it is necessary to have high strength tensile bars for prestressed concrete.

    Aditya,

    Here you are asking about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of structure.

    The life span of structure will vary according to the type of structure.

    There is no formula available to calculate the life span of any structure.

    Different parameters we should take into mind while doing a calculation of life span of structure, they are as follows;

    Building Construction Material:

    • RCC structure

    Structural Design:

    • Mostly influencing parameter.
    • Vary as per Building Construction Material.

    The locality of structure construction: E

    • Earthquake-prone area
    • HFL (High Flood Level) zone

    Height of structure.


     Kindly noted that I have attached one photo of the life span of various structures.

    Corrugated Sheet:

    1. It is composed of hot-dip galvanised mild steel and cold rolled for producing a linear corrugated pattern. More amount of iron is present in it.

    2. Actually, corrugation increases the bending strength of the sheet when the direction is perpendicular to the corrugations.

    3. Steel must be stretched to bend in the direction of perpendicular to the corrugations.

    4. Usually, every sheet is already manufactured linger in its strong direction.

    Applications of corrugated sheets are given below:

    • In Architectural and construction field
    • In the packaging sector
    • In the Printing sector
    • In the medical field

    No. Load Bearing Structure Frame Structure
    1. Almost all the walls are load bearing walls. None of the wall are load bearing. They serve the same purpose as partition or screen.
    2. Almost all the should be provided with foundation None of the walls are provided with any type of foundation. Walls do not go below the plinth beam.
    3. Load bearing walls are taken deep into the subsoil foundation. Only column are taken deep into subsoil and provided with foundation footing.
    4. Any load bearing wall should have minimum thickness of 200 mm. Exterior wall subjected to weathering elements are generally 200 mm thick. All other wall can be 100 mm thick or even thinner.
    5. Wall are usually constructed of bricks or stone. Column supporting beam supporting slab are all of R.C. C.
    6. In a multi-storeyed building for every wall in the floor above there must be a corresponding wall in continuation in the floor below to support it. There is no such necessity. As none of the walls are load bearing. Every floor may have wall independent of the one below it.
    7. In a multi – storeyed building the thickness of the wall increase as we descend from a floor above to one below it. These walls do not take the load and need not be thicker. They may not even continue in the floor below.
    8. A load bearing wall once constructed shall remain in position and should never be dismantled in full or part. The wall of framed structure can be displaced at will as they are lighter and non load bearing.
    9. This type of construction does not favor toomany openings for windows, doors, ventilation etc., in the ground floor as required for show room etc., as the load bearing length of wall is considerably reduced. The space between column can remains as open space as the case with multi – storeyed residential flats where the ground floor is left with no walls for easy parking of vehicle.
    10. In case of multi – storeyed buildings, the room area is reduced as we go down due to thicker walls. Thickness of wall remains uniform, therefore the carpet area in any floor remains the same.
    11. Plans of the different floors must be the same. Very little changes are only possible between one floor and the one above. Plans of different floor are independent of each floor. The ground floor may have a commercial complex, first floor an office or a bank and second floor onward of residential complexes of different types of plans and function within the same building.
    12. May not withstand seismic forces and other forces and other type of vibration because composed of different blocks as bricks and stones being bonded together. More rigid and withstand seismic forces because of the entire frame of column, beam and slabs act as one unit of R.C.C.

    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.
