Dowel Bar: It is the steel that is left to joint any members such as slab, column, and stairs etc. to transfer the load of inducing in the concrete members. Dowels bar are the steel, rod bar or rebar that is left as per to dia of steel. In other words, Dowel bars are round steel that are put across …

Different Grade of Concrete: The concrete achieve strength after 28 days of construction. it is denoted by “M” to the required strength in MPa. For instance, for a grade of concrete with 15 MPa strength, it will be denoted by M15, where M denotes for Mix. There are different proportion for different concrete grades. For example, for M15 concrete, mix …

Overlapping of Steel in Different Grade of Concrete: The acceptable overlapping of steel in the different concrete mix is very important because in the construction of RCC overlapping of steel bars is very necessary. Before going to determine the overlapping of the steel lets clear the given simple concepts. Why overlapping is provided? The lapping of the rebar is very …

Types of Brick in Masonry Construction: In this artical we will discuss types of bricks in masonry construction that is given below: Brick: It is a construction material used in construction to make the walls pavement and other elements in construction, typically the brick is prepared from clay but nowadays it can be prepared from clay bearing soil, sand and …

Pavement and their Types Road is rigid surface constructed between two places that is used for transportation.so people can travel form one place to another using motor, bike, truck etc. based on rigidity roads are divided into two types of roads which are given below: Flexible roads Rigid roads Flexible Roads: Flexible roads consist of four layers and require proper …

What is Development Length? It is use to transfer the load from rebar to concrete. Development Length is also known as anchorage length. Development length is the min length of the steel that must be placed in concrete over any section to develop full strength. it is also known as an anchorage length in case of tension or compression and …

Sand and their Uses: Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rocks and mineral particle sand is smaller in size than gravel and larger in size than silt. The composition of sand is also being different, the uses of sand is depending on local rock source and condition. Sand have a lot of different uses in all over …
