     Methods for an onsite evaluation of concrete:

    You know what that the on-site evaluation of concrete strength is the biggest challenge in the condition assessment of existing infrastructure for the quality control of new construction.

    All parties agree that the strength of concrete is a critical parameter

    1. Compression test on concrete Core

    2. The pull-out test

    3. Rebound hammer for concrete strength

    4. Ultrasonic pulse velocity

    5. Combined non-destructive testing methods

    Thank you.

    Quotations are requested where the value of goods and/or services is less than $150,000. Tenders, as a rule are called for contracts in excess of $150,000. Every business has to give its customers prices for its products or services.

    The beam, which is reinforced from both zones i.e., compression and tension, that beam is said as Doubly Reinforced beam. It is usually given when the depth of the beam is constricted. It is obviously not safe to provide a singly r/f beam with min depth resulting in failure due to insufficient resistance to oppose the bending moment.

    Moment of resistance could not be increased by increasing the steel in the tension zone. Rather it can be increased by increasing the reinforcement, but it should not exceed 25% of the strained side. That’s why a doubly reinforced beam is provided to increase the moment of resistance of a beam having limited dimensions.

    Stirrups are mainly provided for holding the main reinforcement of beam. It prevents the buckling of beam and also protect the RCC structure during seismic activity. Stirrups providing protection against flexural and shear failure as shown in figure.

    The cement gel in a cement is generally known as calcium silicate hydrate (CSH). It helps in strength and binding property. The production of cement gel occurs when a hydration reaction occurs by mixing water and cement; the paste so formed is called as cement gel.

    Bar bending schedule (BBS) is a comprehensive, detailed list of reinforcement bars to be used in an RCC construction along with their number, location, mark, type, size, lengths, details in correspondence with the drawings. It also includes the timing for the bending of each bar, and that is why it’s called a bending schedule.

    Bars are needed to be bent in order to give them the desired reinforcement shape. Stirrups and anchorages are two places where bar bending is compulsory. In addition, when we need to join bars, we might want to bend them on the ends before welding or fastening.

    BBS also gives a clear and logical understanding as to how much bars of what sizes will be needed to be procured and bent by what time so that no delay, all procurement is done with minimal transport expenses, and all bending is done with minimal machine and labor costs.

    Boundary line :

    Definition of boundary line :

    A  boundary line is defined as a boundary presumed to exist between two buildings on the same site.


    • The boundary of the land which belongs to a building or where the land abuts a road, Railway, Canal, river and Centre Line of road, railway, canal and river.
    • A relevant boundary is a boundary or National boundary that one side of the building faces  and that is parallel or at an angle of a maximum of 80 degrees on that side of the building
    • A national boundary is a boundary presumes to exist between two buildings on the same site

    (Above image of boundary line will definitely clear your doubt.)
