    You should use PSC cement as this type of cement has various speciality than ordinary cement.

    PSC is the portland slag cement and it is also a type of supplementary cementatious material but it works on hydraulic activy. The material used is directly react with water and from cementetious compounds but the property of the concrete can be increased if the blend of slag and cement is made.

    PSC can reduce the construction cost, better strength and durability and many more.

    Basically sill is known as the horizontal bed of the mortar which is usually as wide as the wall provided below windows or other openings. Therefore sill supports the windows. And lintel is made up of reinforced concrete or cement mortar .Therefore lintel support the wall above the openings.

    Reinforcement coefficients for concrete walls :

    Following are the different coefficients of reinforcement used for or a plain concrete wall & reinforced concrete wall.

    1. For your kind information, transverse steel is not required in plain concrete wall construction.

    2. 0.12% & 0.15% vertical steel is required for a plain concrete wall (Important note: 0.12% for HYSD bar and 0.15% for mild steel bar.)

    3. In case of a reinforced concrete wall, 0.4 % minimum vertical reinforcement is provided

    4. Again transverse steel is not needed for reinforced concrete wall

    Thank you.

    The importance of expansion joints on concrete bridge deck is that they are designed to allow for continuous traffic between structures while accommodating movement, shrinkage and temperature variations on reinforced and prestressed concrete, composite and steel structures.
