    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.

    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

    Thanking You.

    The reason behind not usage of water curing and polythene sheets type of curing:

    Disadvantages of ponding curing:

    • Ponding curing needs to be done under continuous supervision by professional labours.
    • Cold wind affects the ponding adversely.
    • After the curing process using ponding that the large about it needs to be disposed of the curing side.

    Disadvantages of polythene sheets:

    • Polythene sheets can be easily blown off and this is one of the most disadvantages of such type of curing process.
    • This does not windy weather.
    • Polythene sheets may cause discolouration.

    Thank you.
