What is the benefit of smaller dia steel instead of larger dia steel in slab and beam?
Having smaller diameter rebar distributed throughout the structure also distributes the load from the concrete to the steel more effectively as there is a greater area of contact for adhesion between the two.

What is the effect of steel and aluminum, if we use it as reinforcement in structure?
Both have different properties & a separate cost which describes below. steel As compared aluminium,steel have less corrosion resistance Steel are chiper than aluminium Steel give lesser malleability and elastic properties than aluminium In weight steel have higher weight Steel is tough & haRead more

Aluminum
We are generally use steel as a reinforcement.
We doesn’t use aluminium because of soft metal property
See lessHi. I am an architect and I’d like to hear your advise. Can this type of brick bond be used for a load bearing wall? I think that this zigzag form makes the wall stronger, but will it be enough? I ...
In masonary work, we used usually 1:4 cement-sand mortar of compressive strength 3.8N/mm2. The compressive strength of one brick of standard size is 11.12N/mm2. The compressive strength of brick masonry is 2.5 N/mm2. Thanks.

Bar bending schedule (BBS) is a comprehensive, detailed list of reinforcement bars to be used in an RCC construction along with their number, location, mark, type, size, lengths, details in correspondence with the drawings.

Bar bending schedule (BBS) is a comprehensive, detailed list of reinforcement bars to be used in an RCC construction along with their number, location, mark, type, size, lengths, details in correspondence with the drawings. It also includes the timing for the bending of each bar, and that is why it’s called a bending schedule.
Bars are needed to be bent in order to give them the desired reinforcement shape. Stirrups and anchorages are two places where bar bending is compulsory. In addition, when we need to join bars, we might want to bend them on the ends before welding or fastening.
BBS also gives a clear and logical understanding as to how much bars of what sizes will be needed to be procured and bent by what time so that no delay, all procurement is done with minimal transport expenses, and all bending is done with minimal machine and labor costs.

Murrum soil is the soil of humid tropical or equatorial zones. It is characterised by the deep weathered layer fom which silica has been leached.

Murrum soil is the soil of humid tropical or equatorial zones. It is characterised by the deep weathered layer fom which silica has been leached. Thus, there is no humus, but an accumulation of aluminium and iron oxides and hydroxides. These soils are reddish in color & is imparted by the iron compounds. For building huts and paths, they are good materials, as it can be compacted easily to form hard surfaces.
Murrum soil comes under laterite soil. Laterite is a soil and a rock type rich in iron and aluminium. Murrum soil is also referred as being a rock type but it is not a rock.
The approximate density of murrum soil is 1.8 gm/cc.

What is the diffrence between lap length and development length?
lap length is required when bars placed short of their required length (due to nonavailability of longer bars) need to be extended. lap length is to be provided to safely transfer the load. Development length is provided to transfer the load from steel to concrete. It is also known as anchorage lengRead more
