Where is the T beam used in concrete structure?
What should be the mix proportions of antifreeze concrete admixture during freezing conditions and also suitable antifreeze to be used.
An antifreeze admixture consisting of sodium nitrate and sodium sulfate in a ratio of sodium nitrate to sodium sulphate of 3:1 and wherein the admixture is present in the amount of from 2% to 8% , by weight of mixture.

See lessWhy are 6 cubes cast for testing the Compressive Strength?
Whenever testing for cube strength, it is always advised to make and test three specimens from the same mix. This is done to reduce or average out the error due to manually introduced differences in the three cubes. Now, concrete and cement are always tested at both 7 days and 28 days for compressivRead more
Whenever testing for cube strength, it is always advised to make and test three specimens from the same mix. This is done to reduce or average out the error due to manually introduced differences in the three cubes.
Now, concrete and cement are always tested at both 7 days and 28 days for compressive strength. The compressive strength at seven days is known to be 65% of the final (28 days) strength. This double testing is done so that if the seven days strength is found inappropriate, the cubes may be straight away discarded to save 21 days’ time because the 28-day strength will also probably be below par. Now, a time even earlier than seven days is not chosen because, at that age, strength gain is very steep, and there’s a higher margin of error. Also, seven days is a round figure.
For both the tests, 3 cubes each are employed. Hence, a total of 6 cubes go through the compression test.

See lessIf we have two spread footing foundation (Isolated Pads) of square sizes (1m x 1m) and (2m x 2m),with axial loads ; (10t) and (40t) respectively, by assuming the soil features and specification for the two pads ,is the same , So ...
Since the dimentions and magnitude of the 2nd is more than the first one, the settlement would not be same roughly. Bcoz the dimension are twice the 1st one, Magnitude is 4 times the 1st one. So bcoz of this, obviously the 2nd footing will be settled more.

Here, the designers gets a natural advantage of using T or L beams in any structure with slab beam construction. It is mainly used in frame type structure. A T-beam or Tee-beam is used in a construction process which is a load bearing structure of a reinforced concrete, wood or metal having T-shaped cross-section. The vertical section (web) of the beam below the compression flange serves to resist shear stress and to provide greater separation for the coupled forces of bending.
