REINFORCED CONCRETE – ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

CIVIL ENGINEERING / AMAN DEEP

Reinforced concrete is a combination of traditional cement concrete with reinforcements (steel bar). This combination is made to utilize the compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel simultaneously. In reinforced concrete, the components work together to resist many types of loading. Concrete resists compression and steel reinforcement resists tension forces. Reinforced concrete, as

RATE ANALYSIS OF CEMENT MORTAR

CIVIL ENGINEERING, EDUCATION SERIES / AMAN DEEP

Rate analysis for cement mortar requires estimation of materials for cement mortar, i.e. quantity of cement and sand required for 1m3 for various proportions, i.e., CM 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 etc. So, let us first calculate quantity of cement and sand required for 1m3 of cement mortar. For 1m3 of wet cement mortar, 1.3m3 of
