    Hi,

    In simple words, detailing of composed mint is necessary for the structural steel and also for 10 force concrete structures to attend strength and durability. The figure is attached with shows the joining details of beams and columns.

    The main parts of them should be cracked near the columns and the length. It is in the ratio of 1:4. Any other cases the beam re pass must not pass from the column rebars outer surface which comprises the concrete cover.

    Instead of detailing the above different detailings are the wind for rehabilitation and strengthening the damaged elements.

    This is a common building construction material. Nowadays concrete bricks are taking the place of traditional bricks.

    Traditional bricks are used for two types of walls. The testing of brick is the same for its uses in any type of wall.

    1. Partition wall
    2. Load-bearing wall

    Following are the site tests to check the good quality of bricks:

    1. Edges of bricks should be sharp and the surface should be scratch resistant.
    2. All the bricks are of the same size
    3. Bricks must have a size of standard brick i.e 19 cm X 9 CM x 9 CM. To check the length breadth and height take randomly 20 bricks and observe its edges.
    4. A good brick should have a bright and uniform color.
    5. soundness test on brick: select 2 random bricks and stuck with each other so that the clear and ringing bell sound must be produced. It indicates a good and strong brick.
    6. Structure and material of bricks: select any randomly break and crack it from the middle then observe the inner portion. It must be free from any type of lumps and materials compacted homogeneously.
    7. Efflorescence test: Bricks must be free from any types of salts. Take a brick and placed it in water for 24 hours. Take the brick out and dry it in a shade. After some time of drying if any white substance produced on the brick it indicates the amount of salt present inside bricks. This type of bricks must be avoided for construction
