    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.

    Cable stayed bridges may look similar to suspension bridges. They both have roadways that hang from cables and both have towers. But the two bridges support the load of the roadways in very different ways. The difference lies in how the cables are connected to the towers . In suspension bridges, the cable ride freely across the towers, transmitting the load to the anchorages at either end. In cable stayed bridges, the cables are attached to the towers, which alone bear the load.

    The cable can be attached to the roadway in a variety of ways. In a radial pattern cables extend from several points on the road to a single point at the top of the tower. In a parallel pattern, cables are attached at different heights along tower running parallel to one another.

    As a civil engineer, it’s our responsibility to introduce some techniques to improve the quality of civil construction in India.


    Personally, I suggested some techniques. With the help of these techniques, we can definitely improve the quality of civil construction in India. They are as follows ;

    • By properly determination of structure design
    • Appropriate checking of concrete mix
    • To inspect the wall thickness correctly without introducing any error in it
    • Consciously ensure the safety features in various structures in India
    • Take a look of paint and plastering quality as well
    • Property examine the Elevators if any
    • Accurately investigation of soil

    Thank you!

    Hi, Thanks for greetings Tabish, The interface works and interface risks in constructions are one of the important topics of construction management. Large construction companies are it might consider as an alternative contractual framework, auras a part of the innovative project management technique and ongoing communication between the interfacing parties and units to manage the interface risks that will be arising in the project. in simple words, interfaces are the points which can the interaction between the two or more aspects of a project. while the interface with this kind of fail you’re is a common cause of problems and it may rise of the following causes

    1. Construction becomes an economical
    2. Damage to the reputation of the company
    3. Action against industrials
    4. Project delay
    5. Increase in cost of the project.

    Sand lime bricks:

    These are very strong & hard bricks. Sand for these should be coarse (but not very coarse), clean, free from salts or organic matter, with grains of assorted sizes, & well graded so as to have min voids. Lime to be well burnt, free from ashes. It should be a high calcium lime, containing 90-90% of Cal. oxide & not more than 0.5% of magnesium oxide & filled in moulds. The moulded bricks are then placed for hardening in a closed cylinder called Autoclave for 10 hrs. Generally, the bricks are moulded by day & left over night to harden. The lime is slaked & intimately mixed with sand in proportion of 4-10%. Sand-lime bricks are much stronger than clay bricks & are uniform in color & texture.
