    Weight batching is accurate method for Accurate desire strength RCC.

    In this method, weight batches, or other weight equipment are used for batching of material. The compressive strength of RCC concrete is high at 7 and 28 days in weight batching. Slump is medium to very high in weight batching whenever in volume batching we are getting low to high slump.

    Floor area ratio is defined as the ratio of the total floor area to the area of the land at where it is built. We can write formula as, FAR = gross floor area/total area of the plot

    You can check the quality of reinforcement at the site in three ways.

    1. Mass per run meter – take 4 number of cutting bar of length 1 meter and check the average length and weight of each and check the mass per run meter.

    2. Bend test – bend test should be followed IS code 1599, and the rebar sample should be bend 180° as per IS 1599.

    3. Rebend test – first bend the rebar sample at 135°, and after that, keep it in boiling water of 100° C for 30 mins. After cool it down, bend it into 157.5°, and rebar should not show the crack or any rupture during this bend.
