movements of ground. 6) Cracks due to vegetation. The various causes of formation of cracks and measures adopted to prevent them are described below: 1) Cracks due to moisture changes. We know that most of the building materials like bricks‚ concrete‚ mortar‚ stone‚ timber etc. have pores. Hence these materials increase in size or expand on absorbing moisture and decrease in size or shrink on drying. Shrinkage on account of drying out of moisture contents in building materials is one of the

If stored‚ it will harden‚ and once hardened‚ is useless. This case is analogous to cement or concrete providers: Once prepared and placed within a cement truck‚ there is approximately a 90 minute window in which to deliver and apply the concrete or the concrete properties begin to change and harden‚ and having changed and begun to harden‚ the concrete becomes not applicable for the specific job for which it was intended.

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Foundry sand is high quality silica sand with uniform physical characteristics. It is a byproduct of ferrous and nonferrous metal casting industries‚ where sand has been used for centuries as a molding material because of its thermal conductivity. It is a byproduct from the production of both ferrous and nonferrous metal castings. The physical and chemical characteristics of foundry sand will depend in great part on the type of casting

construct this bridge consisted of prestressed concrete‚ steel casings‚ prestressed steel‚ reinforcing steel wire strands and polyethylene. It was built on each side of the land and was eventually connected together in the middle. It was constructed by using a formtraveller (a travelling formwork) and setting up the formwork before positioning and tensioning the cables. They then proceeded to place the reinforcement cement and pouring on the concrete. This was made in a cycle with each cycle being

Deep foundations can be made out of timber‚ steel‚ reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete.
