TESTING AND SPECIFICATION OF DRYMIX MORTAR IN SINGAPORE ABSTRACT Singapore is a small island country‚ but has won renown as uncorrupted government and high quality products. Independent testing and inspection played a very important role for this achievement. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) is the sole public authority in Singapore and was set up as a statutory on 1 February 1960. Within 45 years‚ it built more than 700‚000 flats housing approximately 86% of the population. Every

Materials * Helical spring * support * rods * weight hanger * slotted masses * vertical scale * stopwatch. Procedure Part I: Determination of k from Hooke’s Law 1. Suspend the spring from its support. 2. Hook the weight hanger from the bottom loop of the spring and determine the vertical scale reading of the bottom of the weight hanger. 3. Record this as the equilibrium position of the system. 4. Add 5 g to the weight hanger and again record the actual

Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance‚ relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However‚ it is easily destroyed by moisture‚ insects‚ and fire. Steel It is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures

Introduction 1. What is Stress Analysis? The aim of stress analysis is to take the geometry of a component or structure and the externally applied “loads” and determine the state of stress in the material. Subjects that encompass stress analysis include “strength of materials”‚ “solid mechanics”‚ mechanics of deformable solids” ‚ etc. When the stresses in the body are known‚ the material properties are used in a failure theory to decide whether the body can withstand the design loads. If this is the case

the design requirements of a structure. The compressive strength of concrete is the most common performances measure used by engineer in designing buildings and other structures. The compressive strength is measured by breaking concrete specimen in a compression-testing machine. The compressive strength is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting the load and reported in units of N/mm2. Compressive strength test results are primarily used to determine that the

RULES OF MIXTURES FOR ELASTIC PROPERTIES The paper is about the rules of mixtures which are used to express the dependencies of the physical properties and mechanical properties which depend on type‚ form‚ quality and arrangement of its constituents‚ but they are based on various assumptions so one should with caution‚ especially if they are used anything more than preliminary design. The paper mainly concentrates on expressions for elastic properties which are as follows: Unidirectional Ply-

paste is created by combining fly ash‚ which contains alumino-silicate source‚ with a strong alkaline solution. Geopolymer concrete has significant advantages over standard concretes such as resistance to corrosion and fire‚ high compressive and tensile strengths and also less shrinkage. The development of geopolymer concrete is an important step towards the production of environmental friendly concretes. The purpose is apparently to reduce the carbon dioxide emission resulting from the production of
