    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.

    Meaning of Reinforced soil: Reinforced soil is simply a combination of compacted earth fill with the tensile reinforcement for creating an earth structure. 

    Advantages of reinforced soil:

    1. Less quantity of earth fill is required.
    2. The construction can be directly done on the soft ground.
    3. The structures can be quickly built as compared to any other conventional methods.

     Limitations of reinforced soil:

    • One of the biggest doubts about reinforcing soil is its durability.

    Thank You.

What is the percentage of fineness content in OPC for construction works?

    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 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.

    Why Install it in the slab? A solar panel is not a load bearing structure. You cannot use it for structural purposes. That is simply a bad decision because solar panels are costly and hence they need to be kept safe from damage. We can install them above the slab though if we wish to.

    But again, slabs are horizontal and it’s foolish to install a horizontal solar panel. You’ll never see it that way anywhere except for at the equator. That is because sunlight mostly falls at a slant and to grab maximum intensity, the solar panel has to be perpendicular to the sun rays which will never be horizontal. Beyond the tropics, sunlight will never fall vertical ever in a year. So, no chance of installing a solar panel in the slab. Only if there’s a non load bearing slab cast to hold the solar panel, then it might be possible but that too is a bad idea because it will unnecessarily add to building cost, time and weight.

    Weight of different ingredient of Mortar 1:3 –

    Here, I will give you a simple way to calculate the weight of different ingredients in a mortar.

    • The mortar ratio is 1:3, it simply means that the 1 part of cement is present and 3 part of sand is present in that type of mortar.
    • Consider, w/c ratio = 0.4
    • We are doing all calculation for 1kg of mortar.

    1 part = 1/(0.4+1+3) = 0.227

    Water Required =0.25 x 0.227 = 0.056kg

    Cement= 0.2247 kg

    Sand =3.15 x0.227 = 0.717 kg

    Thank You.
