Mental Capacity Act The Mental Capacity Act was passed in 2008 in Parliament so that Singaporeans can appoint proxy decision-makers before they become mentally incapacitated by illnesses like dementia or brain damage. The Act‚ which came into force on 1 March 2010‚ is broadly modelled on the UK’s own Medical Capacity Act 2005 (Gillespie‚ 2010) and individuals can do so through a new statutory mechanism called "Lasting Power of Attorney" or LPA – which enables adult individuals to prospectively

Aggregates is a major part of concrete‚ it is of urgent need that we look into the influence of aggregate on the fresh as well as hardened properties of concrete. Better grading of aggregate not only will show better results in the properties of the concrete but will also help in saving expensive materials such as cement‚ fly ash and admixture. In the comparative study of influence of the aggregate on high strength concrete‚ here is an attempt to study strength characteristics of cubes and cylinders

Refractory Concrete Tutorial - Recipe and Instructions Mixing heat resistant mortar without using a concrete mixer Heat resistant refractory concrete There are two ways‚ two types of heat resistant concretes that can be prepared. Cheaper and more expensive - stronger and weaker. The first one is a high heat refractory concrete. This type will survive in real high heat and can be used in hot-face (What is hot face? Hot face is a wall facing the main heat from a source. Internal walls‚ floor and

Engineering B45 Concrete Lab Report Introduction: Concrete is a mixture of sand and rock or similar inert material (aggregates) held together by a cementing material. Usually the cementing material is Portland cement‚ but sometimes binders such as asphalt or gypsum are used‚ in which case the concrete may be called asphaltic concrete or gypsum concrete. Properties of concrete are governed not only by the properties of its ingredients (cement‚ water‚ sand‚ and coarse aggregate) but also‚ to a great
