    Reinforcements used in the process of prestressing:

    Especially in case of prestressing, we are using strands of Steel and it’s called tendons.


    Tendons are made of high strength Steel.


    Three major types of reinforcements which are used in Prestressing:

    1. Spalling R/f
    2. Equilibrium R/f
    3. Bursting R/f

    Combination of reducing the structural thickness reduced conventional reinforcements quantities and fast construction often results in un prestressed structure.


    Thank You.

    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.

    Compaction test of soil is carried out using Proctor’s test for understanding the compaction characteristics of different soils with change in moisture content. The ability for compacting a soil depends on the water content of the soil. Thus, water acts as a lubricant between the soil grains however as its content increases the water may occupy the entire pores. Since it is relatively incompressible in comparison to the air it may restrict compaction. Proctor compaction test is used to determine the optimum moisture content during compaction which gives the greatest soil density.
