Hi. 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.

    control the pipe leackage by using NiTo bond chemical

    • first we need to dry that pipe
    • Chip the pipe surface where leakage problem is there
    • Brush the chipped surface completely and clean with water.  And allow to dry
    • Then apply Ninto bond coating on the surface
    • The complete the mason work by fresh concrete… And cure it for 10 to 15 days

    You can use Self Compacted Concrete to use for narrow columns. It also used where the reinforcement is heavy and process of compaction is not available/difficult to compact.

    Hi, There are not any specific criteria for the spacing of sample taken, and the decision is purely based upon site civil engineers and various criteria of soils and on observations. if you found soil which is less compacted or even is created then take samples for observation and check the bulk denRead more

    Hi, There are not any specific criteria for the spacing of sample taken, and the decision is purely based upon site civil engineers and various criteria of soils and on observations. if you found soil which is less compacted or even is created then take samples for observation and check the bulk density of soil and moisture content. Please refer to the following article for details about core cutter method and its applications: Link: https://test.theconstructor.org/geotechnical/dry-density-of-soil-by-core-cutter-method/2680/

What is Golden Ratio? How can we find out the Golden Ratio of any rectangular shaped body?

    The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895..., which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object. Drawing It Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio: Draw aRead more

    The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895…, which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object.

    Drawing It

    Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio:

    • Draw a square (of size “1”)
    • Place a dot half way along one side
    • Draw a line from that point to an opposite corner (it will be √5/2 in length)
    • Turn that line so that it runs along the square’s side

    Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.

    Initial setting time of various types of cement: The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement. The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute. The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes But usually, another type of cement has 30mRead more

    Initial setting time of various types of cement:

    • The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement.
    • The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute.
    • The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes
    • But usually, another type of cement has 30minutes is the value of initial setting time.

    Please refer the above image for knowing the values of initial setting time and final setting time for various types of cement.

    Thank you.
