Highway embankments made of heavy materials are often built over soft ground and this can sometimes leads to settlement and instability of the embankment.

    Make it simple. The quantity of rebar should be according to moment or min reqd. About the direction, simply find the direction of moment and give the rebars to resist them.

    If the slump test fails for concrete then immediately reject that concrete because high amount of water can decrease the durability of the concrete. But dont add water if the slump test fails.

    Lumpsum quantity of steel in residential as well as a commercial building:

    Here I will tell you the meaning of lumpsum in a simple way, have a look;

    Meaning Of Lumpsum:

    The lump-sum is simply a single payment of money which is opposed to a series of payments made over time such as an annuity.


    The quantity of steel is different in different structural elements because the load taken by different elements are different.


    • Slab or lintel – 0.7 to 1% (55 to  78.5 kg per metre)

    • Columns – 0.8 to 6% (62.8 to 471 kg per metre cube)

    I hope so your doubt is clear.

    Thank You.

    Particulars OPC PPC
    Name Ordinary Portland Cement Portland Pozzolana Cement
    IS Codes OPC 33 Grade Cement is IS: 269, for 43 Grade Cement IS: 8112 is used and for 53 Grade Cement IS: 12269 PPC IS 1489 (part 1 & 2) 1991
    Ingredients & Manufacturing process Cement is made by heating limestone (CaCO3 & clay) to 1450oC in a kiln & grounded with gypsum. Pozzolana materials like fly ash, volcanic ash are blended to OPC @ 15%-35% by wt.
    Environmental impact Uses limestone clay & gypsum which are natural stones & emits CO2 during making. Consumes industrial wastes such as fly ash, bf slag, etc. & is environment friendly.
    Grades available 33, 43, 53 Grades Don’t have any grade but attains strength of 33 grade cement on 228 days curing. After that its strength gain slows down.
    Cost per unit Costly compared to PPC due to limestone Cheaper bcoz limestone replaced by pozzolana
    Sulphate resistance Less durable in aggressive weather & sulphate attack & hence not preferred for marine structures, hydraulic structures, sewages pipes, etc. Highly resistant to sulphate & used & preferred for marine structures, hydraulic structures, sewages pipes, etc.
    Permeability & Durability Low fineness, permeability is less Higher fineness, higher permeability, result high durability.
    Setting time Initial setting time: 30mins

    Final setting time: 280mins

    Initial setting time: 30mins

    Final setting time: 600mins

    Construction speed Faster construction speed as it gains strength early. Gains strength with time.
    Fineness OPC has finiteness of 225 sq.m/kg. It has lower fineness than PPC. So, it has higher permeability resulting lower durability. PPC has finiteness of 300 sq.m/kg. It has higher fineness than OPC. So, it has lower permeability resulting in higher durability.
    Heat of Hydration It contains active salt hence more Heat of Hydration. Don’t have blended material & it gains 95% early strength in 7 days. Blended cement with flyash or slag, etc. Low heat of hydration. Gains 75% strength in 7 days & 90% strength in 14 days.
    Shrinkage cracks Will be more due to high heat of hyudration Less shrinkage cracks
    Workability Lower Lower
    Mass concrete Not preferred Preferred for mass concreting
