    Aditya,

    Here you are asking about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of structure.

    The life span of structure will vary according to the type of structure.

    There is no formula available to calculate the life span of any structure.

    Different parameters we should take into mind while doing a calculation of life span of structure, they are as follows;

    Building Construction Material:

    • RCC structure

    Structural Design:

    • Mostly influencing parameter.
    • Vary as per Building Construction Material.

    The locality of structure construction: E

    • Earthquake-prone area
    • HFL (High Flood Level) zone

    Height of structure.

     Kindly noted that I have attached one photo of the life span of various structures.

    Weight of different ingredient of Mortar 1:3 - Here, I will give you a simple way to calculate the weight of different ingredients in a mortar. The mortar ratio is 1:3, it simply means that the 1 part of cement is present and 3 part of sand is present in that type of mortar. Consider, w/c ratio = 0.Read more

    Weight of different ingredient of Mortar 1:3 –

    Here, I will give you a simple way to calculate the weight of different ingredients in a mortar.

    • The mortar ratio is 1:3, it simply means that the 1 part of cement is present and 3 part of sand is present in that type of mortar.
    • Consider, w/c ratio = 0.4
    • We are doing all calculation for 1kg of mortar.

    1 part = 1/(0.4+1+3) = 0.227

    Water Required =0.25 x 0.227 = 0.056kg

    Cement= 0.2247 kg

    Sand =3.15 x0.227 = 0.717 kg

    Thank You.

    Laterite is a rock and soil type substance which contain a high amount of iron and aluminium. It is commonly formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Mass Density of Laterite = 1019 kg/ m3 1 metric ton=1000kg Hence,  1m3 laterite = 1.019 metric ton Thank You.

    CORROSION refers to an electrochemical reaction between a metal and its environment. Steel will readily rust unless it is coated. Corrosion occurs when steel reacts with chloride ions (Cl-), CO2 in the presence of a toxic environment. Thus, corrosion is uneven erosion/pitting of metal surface due to intense rusting and is also harmful to the service performance of rebar.

    There are many ways of reducing the risk of corrosion-related distress in concrete. The first defencing layer is concrete, which should be thick and dense. Also, the cracks should be minimized. The concrete cover should be used appropriately.

    An additional measure for corrosion-resistant is that corrosion inhibiting admixtures should be used. Epoxy coatings should be done on rebar, which acts as a physical barrier and also isolates the steel from oxygen, moisture, and chloride ions (which are the three primary elements needed for corrosion to occur).

    The most average time to build a multi family house which varies the number of units in a building.

    In 2014 building the twenty or more units took near about 15 months to complete from the time of obtaining permits. And properties with 10 to 19 units physically finished in 13.6 months whereas 5 to 9 unit building came in at  11.5 months.

    The average time from permits to start does not follow the same pattern with respect to property size. Properties with 10 to 19 units had the longest average waiting period.

    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.

    Place bricks on one top of the other around the concrete shape you want to find its volume.

    First, choose a rectangular shape around the object and then going to the object.

    Then place a sufficiently large sheet of polythene in the space around the concrete object for covering the mold.

    Then take a standard bucket of 25-liter capacity and then slightly pour water within the polythene most do formed. Keep a count of the buckets of water poured till it overflows at the top of the brick wall.

    Measure the inside dimension and depth of the rectangular moat.

    Difference between granular sub-base and wet mix macadam in payment structure:

    The wet mix macadam mostly consists of laying spreading and compacting of clean, crushed, well-graded granular material that is prepared and approved granular sub-base.

    Single compacted wet mix macadam player shall not be less than 75mm.

    Whenever we are using vibrating compacting equipment then compacted depth of a single layer of the course of the subway may be up to 200 mm.

    Wet mix macadam shall be prepared in an approved of water macadam mixing plant.

    Here replacing the aggregate fraction should be retained on 22.4 mm sieve with materials of passing from 22.4 and written on 4.75 mm.

    While the addition of water, the evaporation loss shall be considered the mixed material shall be uniformly wet and segregation will take place.
