How to do visual checks on the reinforcement bar at site?Â
Preet Chovatiya
You can check the quality of reinforcement at the site in three ways. 1. Mass per run meter - take 4 number of cutting bar of length 1 meter and check the average length and weight of each and check the mass per run meter. 2. Bend test - bend test should be followed IS code 1599, and the rebar samplRead more
You can check the quality of reinforcement at the site in three ways.
1. Mass per run meter – take 4 number of cutting bar of length 1 meter and check the average length and weight of each and check the mass per run meter.
2. Bend test – bend test should be followed IS code 1599, and the rebar sample should be bend 180° as per IS 1599.
3. Rebend test – first bend the rebar sample at 135°, and after that, keep it in boiling water of 100° C for 30 mins. After cool it down, bend it into 157.5°, and rebar should not show the crack or any rupture during this bend.

Tips_and_tricks
The major impurities added are Manganese, Nickel, Chromium, Vanadium, and Carbon. In addition to this, dissolved gases like Nitrogen and Oxygen are also added to maintain the quality of the steel.

Fluxes mean inflow- outflow water relationship. Basically fluxes term use in groundwater study. In order to define the water balance or water budget of an aquifer system of soil strata, the individual processes that bring water into or the liftoff of the system must be quantified.

In this, water is applied through series of long, narrow, field channels called Furrows. Small furrows called corrugations. Water flowing through furrows infiltrates into the land/soil and spreads laterally to roots of plants. Crops are grown on ridges, levees. Evaporation losses reduces up to someRead more

See lessThere are various types of pozzolana, such as Fly ash, Blast Furnace Slag, Silica Fume, Rice husk, etc.
Fly ash is a waste product obtained from coal-burning thermal power plant. Blast Furnace Slag is obtained from the manufacturing of pig iron and so on.
These pozzolanas are siliceous and aluminous material and not cementing material; it shows, when used in cement manufacturing and used as partial replacement of cement clinker it saves cost.so when water is added to such pozzolana cement, it shows cementing property by the formation of c-s-H gel which helps in strength gains. This action is pozzolanic action.
What is the meaning of the work breakdown structure in the construction program?
Preet Chovatiya
Work Breakdown structure is one task in which the whole work is a breakdown into smaller tasks for ease of utilization and efficient work. It is an important tool in project management work. Generally, there are two types of WBS:- 1. Delivery based WBS 2. Phase based WBS

DEFINITION
The prime system for moving water from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth is precipitation. At the point when the mists meet cool air above land, precipitation, like rain, sleet, or snow, is activated and water comes back to the land (or ocean). An extent of atmospheric precipitation dissipates.
Substantial precipitation happens close to the equator and diminishes with the increase in the latitude, for example, Towards polar locations. The primary source of moisture for ppt is dissipation from the seas. In this way, ppt will, in general, be heavier close to coastlines. Since the lifting of air masses is the reason for practically all ppt, the amount and recurrence of rain is generally more prominent on the windward side of the mountain as the downslope movement of air brings about to perish in stickiness, in this way, the contrary sides of hindrances as a rule experience generally light ppt. A high measure of ppt is accounted for at higher rises.

Dormer window is the form of roof window which is projected vertically beyond the plane of a pitched roof.
The purpose of Dormer window is to provide usable space in the loft and to provide an opening on the roof. It brings natural light to the loft and rooms.
Advantages:-
- Ventilation: gives natural lighting and enough air supply.
- Headroom: gives more space for loft and rooms.
- Better exterior.
- Various shapes and sizes window available.
