What are the quick tests to check the quality of material on site?
Preet Chovatiya
For cement, if you want to quickly test on-site, then you have to check the following things for good cement. It should be greenish powder type no lumps should be there. It should be cold upon touch For other material like steel, formwork you can check the physically and check for damage if availablRead more

For other material like steel, formwork you can check the physically and check for damage if available then I recommend to not to use.
See lessWhat is Prepack Concrete?
Preet Chovatiya
Pre pack concrete is a method that is similar to the tremie method, and that is used when the 'tremie method' and 'bottom-dump bucket method' is not feasible. It is a method of placing a conventional concrete at where massive reinforcement are there at where pipe, opening arrangements are complicateRead more
Pre pack concrete is a method that is similar to the tremie method, and that is used when the ‘tremie method’ and ‘bottom-dump bucket method’ is not feasible.
It is a method of placing a conventional concrete at where massive reinforcement are there at where pipe, opening arrangements are complicated.
It is used in mass concreting like piers and well steining etc.
See lessHow can we reduce laitance from concrete structures?
Preet Chovatiya
Laitance can be avoided by reducing or controlling water during the mixture of concrete. It too much water exists, then other issues also be happening like greater shrinkage and the possibility of more cracks in the structure. If you want to remove laitance, then It is very easy to remove by acid etRead more

If you want to remove laitance, then It is very easy to remove by acid etchings solution.

Green Concrete is one type of concrete which is similar to normal concrete but for production of green concrete energy required is much less so It is not much harmful to the environment.
Application of Green concrete:-
It is used majorly in Bridge and Road construction, and as well as it is used in building construction also.
Green Building is one type of sustainable building which is constructed by considering the environment safety. In this building, It focuses on less water, optimization of energy efficiency.
The main reason to use green building is It maximize the economic and environmental performance of the building.

What is bacterial concrete?
Preet Chovatiya
Bacterial concrete is also known as Bio concrete or Self healing concrete, which is invented under the head of Henk Jonkers. It resists the alkalinity and mechanical stress in concrete. Generally Cohnii and Filla bacteria are used for making this type of concrete. Application of Bacterial Concrete:-Read more

Application of Bacterial Concrete:-
It is used for increasing concrete durability and life span of the structure by self-healing of cracks in the structure.
See lessWhy are Concrete roads preferred over Asphalt Road?
Preet Chovatiya
The concrete roads are preferred over asphalt road because Concrete roads are long-lasting around the 20-40 year lifespan. It is also recycled after crushing into gravels, so It cost nothing or very little cost. It creates less environmental pollution than an asphalt road. High load and pressure resRead more
