Can Epoxy Coated Rebars be Used Instead of SS 316L in Expansion Joints in Concrete?
AdityaBhandakkar
Definitely yes- But some precautions must be taken from your side when handling on construction site Epoxy coated rebars get scratch on-site and then start degrading. This causes affects your project economically. But, yes can use Epoxy bars instead of SS 316L in expansion joints.

AdityaBhandakkar
Plasticizers are the admixtures used to mix in cement to improve their qualities and make them suitable for construction. It's effects on concrete: 1)Reduce the water/cement ratio without any effect on workability. 2)It increase setting time. It allows transit mixers to transport concrete too long dRead more
Plasticizers are the admixtures used to mix in cement to improve their qualities and make them suitable for construction.
It’s effects on concrete:
1)Reduce the water/cement ratio without any effect on workability.
2)It increase setting time. It allows transit mixers to transport concrete too long distances.
3)To avoid cracks and shrinkage in concrete, plasticizer and superplasticizer are used.
It depends upon the type of cement and aggregate quality.
Hope, you got your answer.
See lessWhat is the benefit of smaller dia steel instead of larger dia steel in slab and beam?
AdityaBhandakkar
The structure is made with Reinforce cement concrete (RCC) material. It is a combination of bars and cement with strong bonding between them. Bars are provided to resist tensile as well as compressive stresses. Thus it's very important to make a strong bond between concrete and Reinforced bars. If sRead more
The structure is made with Reinforce cement concrete (RCC) material.
It is a combination of bars and cement with strong bonding between them. Bars are provided to resist tensile as well as compressive stresses. Thus it’s very important to make a strong bond between concrete and Reinforced bars.
If small diameter bars(also called distribution bars) are used more in quantity, increase the surface area of steel, and thus bonding area of reinforcement bars and cement increase. Thus bond becomes stronger and avoids cracks in the future.

See lessWho have higher modulus of elasticity rubber or steel
AdityaBhandakkar
Modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of stress/strain. (Strain- change in length/original length, Stress- force/Area) In the case of steel, straining property is very low. Thus modulus of elasticity is higher. Rubber elongated more than steel, which indicated it's straining if higher. ThusRead more
Modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of stress/strain.
(Strain- change in length/original length,
Stress- force/Area)
In the case of steel, straining property is very low. Thus modulus of elasticity is higher.
Rubber elongated more than steel, which indicated it’s straining if higher.
Thus Rubber has less modulus of elasticity.
Modulus of elasticity is also called as ‘Youngs Modulus’.

AdityaBhandakkar
Traffic surveys are also known as traffic volume survey. It is simply the number of vehicles passing through a particular area in particular. The most common method of traffic survey is manual counting. But is not accurate. The most accurate method of traffic survey is done by automatically countingRead more
Traffic surveys are also known as traffic volume survey. It is simply the number of vehicles passing through a particular area in particular.
The most common method of traffic survey is manual counting. But is not accurate.
The most accurate method of traffic survey is done by automatically counting machines works nonstop 24 hours. It’s is more reliable than Manual counting.

Stucco in English refers to coating on outside and plaster refered to internal coating. Stucco plaster are categorised into two types: Traditional Stucco plaster: It is a mixture of lime, sand, and water. Modern stucco plaster: It is a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and water.

Stucco in English refers to coating on outside and plaster refered to internal coating.
Stucco plaster are categorised into two types:
Traditional Stucco plaster:
It is a mixture of lime, sand, and water.
Modern stucco plaster:
It is a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and water.
In modern stucco plasters, lime is replaced by Portland cement for increasing durability. For many special purposes, Instead of lime plaster, gypsum player use.
To improve structural properties, acrylic and glass fibers are used in modern stucco.
See lessWhat is the significance of Fineness of Cement?
AdityaBhandakkar
Fineness of Cement: It is the property of cement that gives an idea about the size of particle in cement and thus surface area ratio. Significance: 1) Increase in fineness, increase in heat of hydration. This is due to an increase in surface area of cement requires more water content. 2) Bleeding reRead more
Fineness of Cement:
It is the property of cement that gives an idea about the size of particle in cement and thus surface area ratio.
Significance:
1) Increase in fineness, increase in heat of hydration. This is due to an increase in surface area of cement requires more water content.
2) Bleeding reduces by increasing the fineness of the cement. This is due to an increase in surface area, adsorb water content.
3)By the increase in fineness, surface increases. Thus, it requires more water, and if calculation not done properly, dry shrinking possible to occur in concrete structures.
4)If particles are of small size. It’s surface area increase. This adhesion between them is increased.
Fineness test are performed to determine fineness of cement.
