Crazing is a system of fine splits, normally in a hexagonal pattern, which measures somewhere in the range of 5 and 75 mm over every hexagon. They are typically exceptionally fine and shallow and don’t reach out through the whole depth of the plaster. They are generally the consequence of over trowelling a rich blend (one with a high cement content) or utilizing sand containing an inordinate measure of dust (over 15% by mass passing a 0,075 mm sieve). Crazing regularly happens inside a couple of hours of the mortar is applied to the divider and breaks may barely be obvious until residue or dampness makes them observable. Craze cracks are of little significance, don’t open and close with time, and can be covered using any quality paint. On the off chance, glass fiber tissue can be applied during the painting activity.
Preventions
- Make sure that sand to be used does not contain silt or finer particles passing through 75micron. For river sand, should not be more than 8% by vol. and for manufactured sand, should not be more than 5%.
- Skilled workers should only do this work for better workability and handling.
- Never sprinkle dry cement on plaster.
- The base to where the plaster is to be applied should be wet properly. If it left dry, it will soak out moisture from the plaster.

As the course aggregate size increases, the compressive stress decreases.
It is due to the Interfacial transition zone.
The interfacial transition zone exists between the coarse aggregates and the mortar. When concrete is prepared, the water present in the mix forms a film around the aggregate. The film of water causes a relatively high-water cement ratio in the vicinity of the aggregates. This high water-cement ratio affects the hydration reaction by producing a porous network of Calcium Hydroxide and Ettringite. However, as the hydration reaction proceeds, the second generation of ettringite and calcium hydroxide along with the C-S-H gel starts filling this porous network.
As the size of the aggregate increases, the surface area of the aggregate increases, as a result, the size of the Interfacial Transition Zone also increases. Interfacial Transition Zone reduces the strength of the concrete by producing weaker sections and micro cracks. Therefore, as the size of the aggregate increases, the strength of the concrete reduces.

In this method, weight batches, or other weight equipment are used for batching of material. The compressive strength of RCC concrete is high at 7 and 28 days in weight batching. Slump is medium to very high in weight batching whenever in volume batching we are getting low to high slump.

Preet Chovatiya
Floor area ratio is defined as the ratio of the total floor area to the area of the land at where it is built. We can write formula as, FAR = gross floor area/total area of the plot

Membrane Curing is generally used to cure concrete in highway construction.
A membrane is formed that helps to retain moisture in the concrete slab. Otherwise, the moisture will get evaporated from the concrete.
Membrane curing compounds are used, which makes a layer. Bituminised water evidence papers, wax emulsions, bitumen emulsions, and plastic films are of its normally used.
The wetted solid surface is covered by a layer of waterproof material, which is stayed in touch with the concrete surface of seven days.
Focal points –
This technique doesn’t bother with constant supervision.
It is used as an advantage at places where water isn’t available inadequate amount for Wet Curing.
Disservices –
Isn’t that effective as compared to wet restoring because of the fact that the rate of hydration is less?
