What is double R.C. beam?
DevilAVRT
The beam, which is reinforced from both zones i.e., compression and tension, that beam is said as Doubly Reinforced beam. It is usually given when the depth of the beam is constricted. It is obviously not safe to provide a singly r/f beam with min depth resulting in failure due to insufficient resisRead more
The beam, which is reinforced from both zones i.e., compression and tension, that beam is said as Doubly Reinforced beam. It is usually given when the depth of the beam is constricted. It is obviously not safe to provide a singly r/f beam with min depth resulting in failure due to insufficient resistance to oppose the bending moment.
Moment of resistance could not be increased by increasing the steel in the tension zone. Rather it can be increased by increasing the reinforcement, but it should not exceed 25% of the strained side. That’s why a doubly reinforced beam is provided to increase the moment of resistance of a beam having limited dimensions.

Estimate pouring speed and match it production speed to avoid waiting and approaching it's setting time, keep home work-ready with trials for options (e.g., redosing with SP) for reusing leftover concrete, inform Batching plant when 10% of the pour is balanced and reduce trucks carrying concrete theRead more
Estimate pouring speed and match it production speed to avoid waiting and approaching it’s setting time, keep home work-ready with trials for options (e.g., redosing with SP) for reusing leftover concrete, inform Batching plant when 10% of the pour is balanced and reduce trucks carrying concrete thereafter, explore the scope for casting precast blocks from leftover / used in testing, etc. concrete,
Deploy a supervisor to be in touch with Batching Plant from site to hold or slow down concrete supply if there is any issue at the site, keep critical spare parts of Concrete Pumps, etc. available at site 24 x 7, deploy an experienced Pump operator and a Concrete specialist at the site
1. Small precast forms(curbs, drain slabs, etc., which are needed in the project) to be kept ready at the site near the RMC pouring area fresh concrete waste needs to be handled into these forms. Optimum labor to be maintained to handle these operations.
2. Retrieve the aggregates by washing off the waste concrete.
3. Order the right quantity of concrete required to finish the pour, hence reducing the wastage.
4. Have at least one spare pump at the site when pouring a large quantity of concrete.
5. Have the right waste concrete segregation pits at RMC plants to wash the wet concrete and to retrieve the coarse aggregates.

DevilAVRT
For the G+1 structure, the load-bearing structure is consistently prudent. Notwithstanding, if it is a modern structure or the dirt conditions are terrible, at that point, confined structures are liked. Regardless of whether you settle on load-bearing sort structure, it is fitting to give RCC groupsRead more
For the G+1 structure, the load-bearing structure is consistently prudent. Notwithstanding, if it is a modern structure or the dirt conditions are terrible, at that point, confined structures are liked. Regardless of whether you settle on load-bearing sort structure, it is fitting to give RCC groups at plinth, ledge, and lintel levels to improve the seismic obstruction of the structure. In addition, On the off chance that the range of the section or pillar is progressive, at that point, to stay away from load fixation from bars on to the heap bearing dividers, it will be smarter to go for encircled structure. Likewise, the surrounded structure gives adaptability of receiving diverse floor plans for Ground and First floor.
