The castellated beam is a rolled steel beam that has an expended section that allows a predetermined hexagonal pattern to be cut directly on the webs of the beams. Castellated beam geometric properties are typically thinner than a standard steel rolled beam. WHY CASTELLATED BEAM USE COST SAVINGS THIRead more

fathima
the quantity calculated for 1m3 mortar the ratio is 1:3 for cement and sand assume shrinkage factor 1.33 now we can calculate for cement for 1m3 mortar=1*1.33*1/4 =0.3325m3 50kg cement bag volume=50/1440=0.0347m3 so cement weight=0.3325*50kg/0.0347=479.1kg add 10% wastage=479.1+47.91=527.01kg sand vRead more
the quantity calculated for 1m3 mortar
the ratio is 1:3 for cement and sand
assume shrinkage factor 1.33
now we can calculate for cement for 1m3 mortar=1*1.33*1/4
=0.3325m3
50kg cement bag volume=50/1440=0.0347m3
so cement weight=0.3325*50kg/0.0347=479.1kg
add 10% wastage=479.1+47.91=527.01kg
sand volume=1*1.33*3/4=0.9975cum
add 10% wastgae=0.9975+0.0997=1.0972cum
now assume water-cement ratio=0.6
so water =0.6*527.01=316.2kg=316.2ltr

fathima
when the soil reaches maximum water content is saturated soil. then add more water to saturated soil it will either drain down or turn the soil into the mud. when the water content greater than the shrinkage limit then the soil is supersaturated soil
