How to do visual checks on the reinforcement bar at site?
If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed.

If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however that the soil beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building foundation system will respond to seismic waves.
Another solution refers to base isolation which involves floating a building above its foundation on a system of bearings, springs or padded cylinders.

The test of reinforcement bar at site are as follows; The dia of reinforced bar should not vary. Bars should not be brittle in nature.It should no break in pieces during bending. The pitch length between the twist should be 8 - 12 times that of the nominal dia of bar. The length of the bar should beRead more
