What is the role of Direct Cost and Indirect Cost in a Budget?
Vivek Patel
Directly cost is directly related to the particular activity cost, that means material cost like Material cost Manpower cost Machinery cost Special equipment cost etc indirect cost is indirectly related to the activity like Cost of electricity water charge Stationery and office charge Supervising chRead more
Directly cost is directly related to the particular activity cost, that means material cost like
Material cost
Manpower cost
Machinery cost
Special equipment cost etc
indirect cost is indirectly related to the activity like
Cost of electricity
water charge
Stationery and office charge
Supervising charge
Machinery rent charge
Liquidity charge etc
Total cost is = direct charge + indirect charge
See lessWhy construction joints are not provided in residential buildings?
Vivek Patel
Construction joint is provided at where construction could not be done within a day like we have a long span of the slab and we have simple concrete mixture at that time we cannot construct the whole slab within one day, so we provide construction joint at the end of the day, next day we start workRead more
Construction joint is provided at where construction could not be done within a day like we have a long span of the slab and we have simple concrete mixture at that time we cannot construct the whole slab within one day, so we provide construction joint at the end of the day, next day we start work from that construction joint.
Basically in the residential building we have 1200 square feet slab area per one unit, that means we can easily do a slab work within a one day, so we do not need construction joint
See lessWhat is the compressive strength of Fe500 rebars?
Vivek Patel
Generally compressive strength of Steel, we assume the same as concrete. And in actual still have a higher compressive strength than concrete. we can assume that same strength as if we have a steel a fe500, then compressive and tensile strength of Steel is 500 mpa

See lessWhat should one do if the slump test fails for a given concrete?
Vivek Patel
If the slump test fails, then we should reject that concrete. Because slump test gives an idea about workability and water-cement ratio If the water-cement ratio is high, then the workability of concrete is increased. Still, the durability of concrete is decreased due to excessive water, which formsRead more

Because slump test gives an idea about workability and water-cement ratio
If the water-cement ratio is high, then the workability of concrete is increased. Still, the durability of concrete is decreased due to excessive water, which forms voids in the concrete and reduce the strength of the concrete.
Generally slump value is wearing from 25mm to 175 mm it depends on how much workability we required
See lessWhat is meant by Skin Reinforcement?
Vivek Patel
Skin reinforcement is nothing but reinforcement which have lens cover, and the function of skin reinforcement is to prevent cracking due to various forces like shrinkage, bending, weathering action, etc.

Basically, small diameter and smaller spacing Steel grade are used for skin reinforcement. Skin reinforcement is basically provided at the big column, deep beam, shear wall, cavity wall, water tank, etc
See lessHow can we reduce laitance from concrete structures?
Vivek Patel
When cement slurry come out on surface that's call laitance. It is prevented by following steps reduce w/c ratio. proper vibration . concrete should mix around 20-25 rotation of mixture drum. concrete should not throw from more Hight. aggregate should have well graded. if higher workability we shoulRead more
