    Light-emitting concrete involves the use of optical fibers within the concrete to form a mixture that emits light from the brighter side of the wall to the darker side.

    It is made up of concrete with relatively finer materials. Fine aggregates are actually quite fine, and the Nominal mean size of coarse aggregates isn’t exceeded 10 or 12 mm. 4% optical fibers are added in suck a way to create a kind of mesh with the fibers continuing from one face to the other, this carrying light from one facet of the other. The optical fibers very interestingly, act as the reinforcement in concrete and no steel is required.

    The reduction in compressive strength is negligible, and hence, it is quite the architect’s favorite concrete.

    Hi, To solve this query first you must have to know what is a composite structure and RCC structure.

    Composite structure building exists when the two different materials are bound together by any means in a very strong manner so that they can act as a single component give a structural point of view.

    Reinforced cement concrete buildings is a composite material but having low tensile strength and ductility which are encountered by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility. Indian forced cement concrete structures reinforcement abound with cement concrete and both the members are really strong and compression and tension.

    So if I concluded for G+ 12 types of painting reinforced cement concrete structures is used because it has very high tensile and ductility property and gives a high resistance against competition and tension also.

    Hope you get the concept.

    There is a minor difference between ground beams and capping beams Ground Beams are provided between the pile caps, it provides structural stability and provide strength to a foundation While Capping Beams ties all piles together and helps to distribute load of superstructure to the substructure. It has the same function as pile caps, in addition to distribute the load of the superstructure.

    Demolition is defined as simply the safe and careful removal of existing buildings & structures in order to utilise the land for another use.

    The several methods for the demolition of any structure are as follows ;

    • Total Demolition : It refers to the demolition of an entire building or structure. In case of community re-structure, this is the most common method.
    • Interior Demolition : This method refers to the demolition of interior part of the building, while protecting and maintaining the exterior structure. For example; partition walls, ceilings, etc. This method is one of the great option for creating more space inside the building by removing the troubling areas.
    • Selective Demolition : This method refers to the removing of specific parts of the building. In case if there is a old building which is not performing as it should & the entire building is not a state of concern. Or perhaps it is a listed building, therefore it may be restricted as to what and how much you can demolish. So you could select a particular section of a building to demolish and build up from scratch.
