Building Material

There are four types of inspection for reinforced concrete structure namely: inventory, routine, detailed, and special inspections. Inventory inspection is carried out when a building becomes ready

Inspection of concrete structures in necessary to assess the building of damages, its strength, rehabilitation strategies, repair methods etc. to keep the structure safe.

Step by step concrete mix design calculations for M15 Grade concrete as per IS10262-2009.

Inspection of concreting works is an important step to achieve greater strength and durability of the structure. Although it is easy to remember number of checks during inspection of concrete membe

Low heat cement is a special tailored cement which generates low heat of hydration during setting. It is manufactured by modifying the chemical composition of normal Portland cement. In this articl

Low carbon concrete has attracted significant attention due to the amount of CO2 that traditional concrete emits. It is demonstrated that, cement have biggest contribution in CO2 emission by 75% of

Walls represent the largest surface area of the building envelope and are the most challenging to insulate effectively due to the presence of windows, doors, structural framing, electrical systems, and plumbing. The choice of wall insulation system affects not only thermal performance but also air tightness, moisture management, fire safety, acoustic control, and construction cost.

In-situ testing of concrete for strength, durability, performance and damages includes tests to show conditions of concrete and location of these tests are discussed.

Long Term Shrinkage Cracking of Concrete: Shrinkage is the inherent property of cement paste, which in pure form may shrink up to 1%. Aggregate provides internal restraint that reduces the magnitud

Injection grouting is a process of filling the cracks, voids or honeycombs under pressure in concrete or masonry structural members for repairing of cracks, strengthening of damaged concrete or mas
