    Good evening sir,

    hope you are well and ok.

    can you please guide regarding how to take the SBC(of existing collapsed shed) and other analysis of the collapse shed of asbestos sheet rested over RCC column or any SOPs or codal provision regarding the same.

    Hello sir,
    Please clarify the below doubts
    1. Is that advisable to cast 2 diff mix design of concrete of same grade such as diff cem,diff agg,diff admix 4 same structure @ same time.
    2. Is that advisable to cast 2 diff grades of concrete for beam&slab separately but monolithically
    3.Wat r d plastering norms such as thickness&ratio for every locations i.e., External brick wall, inner wall, ceiling etc

    1. Not advisable but in unavoidable condition pouring can be done in such a way that, identification of two concretes is possible in structure. this is required just in case when there is a failure observation in concrete cube compressive strength.

    2. Yes you can do that, first do cast beams and let the concrete of beam overflow into the slab and then cast the slab with concrete of slab grade.

    3.
    ceiling - normally we should not do a plaster to ceiling but to makeup the undulation skin coat of up to 6mm is done to ceiling. higher thickness has chance of debonding and falling of the plaster.
    Walls - on internal face 12 to 15 mm and on external face too the range could be same or as per the condition at your site.

    Hello sir. I am Looking for a civil site engineer job in Bangalore.I have 7 months of experience in construction.

    what is the maximum height of 230mm fly ash brick wall without lintel??
    1.Per day is 1m height we are constructed but maximum height of the wall(230mm). In half brick work we have put Reinforcement in every 4 layer or 1m lintel bend provided.
    2. 230 mm brick wall height my site -3650mm & 4050mm its ok with out lintel/bend ?
    tausif khan
    tausif khan
    The maximum height for 230mm thick brick wall without lintel is 2.76m.
    tausif khan

    No you should provide lintel at 2.76 m .

    Hi Deshmukh G , Very good morning

    I am facing the one little problem in the calculation , curing compound efficiency testing according to BS 7542:1992 given the formula in clause No 8 for efficiency , they are not simplify of Ec . I have searched lots of reference but cannt if you have any reference or idea please share to me . we are performing the test & taking Ec=Wc .

    Ec = Curing Compound Efficiency which is
    The efficiency of the curing compound in forming a membrane which reduces moisture loss is calculated from the measured loss in mass of the specimens, after correction for the loss of solvent from the coated specimen.

    I do not have any idea about efficiency index formula as i never used it for calculating, but when you are making index by comparing efficiency with controlled sample, your index value will be 1.00+ or 100% + (your curing compound sample will always have less water evaporation than controlled sample)

    Can you please suggest concrete mix that can act as slurry cum concrete of grade M40, as we wanted to avoid cost incurred due to slurry which is waste once concrete flow in and it will also save time majorly

    you need to lubricate pipeline before start of the concrete so you can either use a slurry or ready made lubricant available in market which are also cheaper than producing slurry. Cost incurred due to slurry will be always negligible when comparing to make a concrete like slurry (SSC - self compacting)

    whether this can be left in as part of concrete, as disposal of such lubricant is one more issue

    Dear Sir,

    One of our client asked the ratio for cylinder/cube is 0.8 in harden concrete after 28 days. But in is 456 cylinder/ cube ratio for core sample is 0.8.but as per ASTM, ACI for higher grade minimum cylinder strength should be Fck of the design. Is there any reference for ratio 0.8 or it is compulsory cylinder/ cube 0.8 is must?

    Kindly clarify


    Thanks & regards

    The carried load by a cube and cylinder varies for same grade due to height. you can make a concrete and cast few cubes and few cylinders and then do comparative testing for minimum 30 trials. You will arrive to something similar.

    Sir,
    There is a question,
    What is apparent specific gravity and how it differs from specific gravity?
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    All materials do have voids in it, calculation of specific gravity do take long time when the material goes denser with less voids.

    Apparent specific gravity is the one which is calculated without reducing the volume of voids.
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Specific gravity is calculated using pycnometer bottle.

    To calculate exact specific gravity, say for aggregates, one need to make aggregate in SSD condition by immersing them in water for at-least 24 hours before test.

    Dear sir ,
    can you please tell with... how to prepare inspection test plan...?
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    To prepare ITP you need to have the detailed specifications of your project and requirements along with IS codes. You can then freeze the methods, frequency and parameters for each material / process. you can find sample ITP in Quality section at forum. explaining requires a big article to be written. will try to write an article on how to prepare ITP in future.

    Are Inspection Test Report (ITP) and the QC Report same .??
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    ITP stands for inspection and test plan which is a document which had plans for doing testing at site and at third party labs - it defines frequencies of test, test to be conducted and acceptance limits along with referred specs and codes.
    QC report stands for Quality Control Reports which consist of reports which are made to assure quality as per QAP.

    Good Morning ,
    Is their any provision in IS for welding for TMT Bar ? need some supporting document for welding of Reinforcement is allowed or not . Pls send.
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Dnyan Deshmukh
    Yes, there is specification for welding of reinforcement bars, refer para / clause 12.4 in IS 456.

    The method and specifications are given in IS 9417 and in IS 2751.

    In your case refer IS 9417.

    Additionally you can take the procedure for same from your Structural Consultant.

    Thanks for responding ,Some of structural consultants are not allowing welding in Reinforcement steel . Any specific provision is there for that ?
