    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

    WHY CASTELLATED BEAM USE

    • COST SAVINGS
    • THINNER , LIGHTER METAL BEAM
    • SUPERIOR SUPPORT WITHIN THE ROOF AT FRACTION OF THE WEIGHT OF TRADITIONAL WIDE FLANGE CONSTRUCTION
    • DURABLE AND AFFORDABLE BEAMS

    The murrum soil is reddish color of these soils is imparted compounds .they are good material for building huts and paths.as they compacted easily to form hard surfaces. They are generally impervious.

    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

    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
