Retrofitting of RCC Structural Members, Types, Selection, and Procedures
Retrofitting of RCC structural members is carried out to regain the strength of deteriorated structural concrete elements and to prevent further distress in concrete. Strength deficiency of concrete structural members can be due to poor workmanship, design errors, and deterioration ...
Dry Density of Soil by Core Cutter Method for Soil Compaction
Dry Density of Soil by Core Cutter Method Cylindrical core cutters of 130mm long and 100mm diameter are used for testing the in-situ compaction of cohesive and clay soils placed as fill. By using core cutter method, bulk density of ...
Environment Exposure Conditions of Structures
As per IS 456, an environmental exposure is divided into five parts, i.e. mild, moderate, severe, very severe and extreme. Structures constructed in different conditions have different effects and measures shall be taken to protect the structures under severe to ...
Vibro-Stabilization Method of Ground Improvement
There are two methods of ground improvement or soil stabilization, i.e. by using surface rolling and by using vibro-stabilization methods. While surface rolling method is used for stabilizing or compacting soils on the top layer, vibro-stabilization method is used for ...
Effect of Air Entrainment on Concrete Strength
Air entrainment affects compressive strength of concrete and its workability. It increases the workability of concrete without much increase in water-cement ratio. Compressive strength of concrete is inversely proportional to workability of concrete. When workability of concrete increases, its compressive ...
