Reinforced brick masonry have higher ductility and stiffness than ordinary masonry work.
Basically hollow brick is used in reinforces brick masonry, and reinforcement bars are provided in the hole of the block (that bar are in the vertical direction). And another reinforcement wire is provided horizontally in between upper and lower course of brick masonry.
After construction of reinforcing brick masonry, we should provide a plaster of a minimum total thickness of 15 mm to protect the reinforcement bar from weathering action.

MIG Welding It uses bare wire used to join metal and second the flux core which is used outdoor because it doesn't need gas supply. This type is for hobby ones.

MIG Welding

Stick Welding
It has a stick electric welding rod. It is harder than the previous one.
TIG Welding
This one is very adaptable, but also a very difficult one.
Plasma Arc Welding
This is a very much accurate one and similar to TIG welding. It is commonly used in aerospace applications where the metal thickness is 0.015 of an inch. The electrode is recessed and the ionizing gases inside the arc are used to create heat.
Electron Beam and Laser Welding
Gas Welding
It is not used and replaced by TIG welding. It needs oxygen and acetylene

Lintel Level
When a window or door is constructed, a load of bricks above it needs a base. And lintels are provided for the same. Above the window, a beam-like structure mostly made up of concrete (Structural wall) is constructed. the length of this beam can limit to slightly more than the length of the window or it can exceed to cover the whole wall and can act as a lintel beam. the height where the lintel beam is constructed is called lintel level
Sill level
The sill level are similar to the lintel level but it is constructed below the window and its length is the same as the length of the window only. the height at which this sill is constructed is called the sill level.

Difference between Tie beam & plinth beam
As the name mentioned, both are the beams. And I think there is no main difference in it.
Plinth beam:
1. As we all know, the plinth beam is the part of the substructure, from the plinth beam superstructure getting started.
2. The plinth beam always constructed to the ground level.
3. After the footing or foundation plinth beam is built.
4. The plinth beam transfers the load to footing which from the superstructure.
5. Plinth beam connected to all the columns.
Tie beam
1. The tie beam is also part of the plinth beam, so it is not just part of the superstructure.
See less2. The tie beam is constructed anywhere as per requirement above the plinth level or floor level.
3. Tie beam carrying the axial compression and transfer the load to the Columns.
4. Tie beam connects two or more columns

What are Mac-Arthur Piles?
CB Sowmya
Mac Arthur pile is a cast In-Situ pile of uniform diameter. A shell casing is driven into the ground with the help of a driving core. After the desired depth is reached, the core is removed. Now a corrugates steel shell is inserted again into the casing. The concrete is poured into the corrugated stRead more
Mac Arthur pile is a cast In-Situ pile of uniform diameter.
- A shell casing is driven into the ground with the help of a driving core.
- After the desired depth is reached, the core is removed.
- Now a corrugates steel shell is inserted again into the casing.
- The concrete is poured into the corrugated steel shell and simultaneously the outer casing is removed.
- If the outer casing is left inside, the structure would be even more safe but it is not economical.

CB Sowmya
There are three types of members in prestressed concrete TYPE 1 - Tension is not allowed; Cracking is not allowed. TYPE 2 - Tension is allowed (within permissible stresses) ; Cracking is not allowed. TYPE 3 - Tension is allowed; Cracking is allowed within permissible stresses. Type 3 membersRead more
There are three types of members in prestressed concrete
TYPE 1 – Tension is not allowed; Cracking is not allowed.
TYPE 2 – Tension is allowed (within permissible stresses) ; Cracking is not allowed.
TYPE 3 – Tension is allowed; Cracking is allowed within permissible stresses.
Type 3 members are the most economical members because they allow cracking and thus use the elastic property of the materials.
