Integral Bridges

Integral brides in basic words can be characterized as extension bridges without joints. Basic bridges are portrayed by solid association between the deck and the substructure (piers and projections). They traverse from one projection, over middle of the road support to the next projection, with no joint in the deck. Necessary extensions have been built […]

Reactive Powder Concrete

Reactive power concrete (RPC) is: A composite material of ultra high quality with mechanical properties. Mixture of fiber strengthened, super plasticized, silica rage, bond and quartz sand with low water concrete proportion. Quartz sand utilized rather than normal total. Thus, these lines increments compressive quality. Composition It is made out of comparative modulus of flexibility […]

Durability of concrete

The concrete durability has been defined by American Concrete Institute (ACI) as its resistance to the weathering activities, different chemical attack, scratch and other dilapidation processes and activities. Durability is the capacity to keep going quite a while without huge disintegration. A solid material helps the earth by saving assets and decreasing squanders and the […]

Consolidation & Compressibility of Soil

At the point when a soil mass is subjected to the compressive force, its volume diminishes. The property of the dirt because of which a decline in volume happens under compressive constrain is known as the compressibility of soil. This compressibility of soil can happen due to Compaction of strong particles and water in the […]
