What are Tie Bars? The tie bar is the deformed rebar or connection used to hold the stiff slab in place and create the aggregate interlock between the slabs. Although the load is not transferred, minimal load transfer is occasionally possible. It’s employed to reduce transverse cracking. Moreover, it prevents segregation and unequal lane deflection. […]

One of a building’s most crucial components, the footing is responsible for transferring loads from the structure to the soil beneath it. The choice of an appropriate form of footing is typically influenced by a number of variables, including the type of superstructure, the type of soil, and the depth of the soil at which […]

Plain Cement Concrete is referred to as PCC. Cement, sand-like fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate are the three main components of PCC. It is also known as cement concrete or blinding concrete (CC). Concrete is poured on top of the soil’s surface before pouring the foundation to keep the reinforcing from coming into direct contact […]

Concrete serves as the actual and figurative solid foundation of our cities today, supporting everything from buildings to bridges, apartments, and ducts. The industrial revolution’s enormous urban migration created a pressing demand for more efficient and long-lasting construction techniques. Ultimately, steel and concrete took over as the most popular building materials, producing roughly 10 billion […]

What are Cinder Blocks? Cinder blocks are hollow concrete blocks made from coal. The moderate weight of cinder blocks makes them perfect for garden barriers. They are a fantastic option for local building projects but not for larger ones. These lightweight blocks are less expensive and simpler to carry than regular concrete blocks. Following are […]

There are three primary groups engaged in each construction project: the owner or client, the management group, and the contractor. Construction activities are planned and coordinated by the general contractor, who is also responsible for finishing the project on schedule and within the allocated budget. Contractors are in charge of the entire building procedure and […]

The prevention of heat transfer through buildings is known as thermal insulation. Since many regions experience extreme cold, the inhabitants must keep their buildings warm. As a result, they utilise heaters, kindle fires within the building, use steam to keep it warm, etc. Also, building owners must thermally insulate the structure for the heating system […]

What is Floor Space Index(FSI)? The floor space index is calculated by dividing the total size of the building’s floors by the total area of the site on which those floors are located. The built-up area is another name for the area that all the floors cover. Moreover, in some areas, the floor space index […]
