Q. 8 What is the name of compression testing machine?

Ans. Universal Testing Machine (UTM).

Q. 9 Why we use pile foundation?

Ans . Pile foundation is adopted when the soil bearing capacity is less than 24 kN/m3.

Q. 10 What do you mean by segeration?Ans . Segregation is a separation of cement, sand from aggregate.This is caused due to water cement ratio and when the concrete is poured about more than 1.5 m height.

Q. 11 What is the mixed ratio of M5, M7. 5,M10,M15,M20,M25 grade of concrete.

Ans.

M5 =1:5:10

M7.5=1:4:8

M10=1:3:6

M15=1:2:4

M20=1:1.5:3

M25=1:1:2

Where, M stands for mixed and number means (like, 5,7.5,10,15,20,25) characteristic compressive strength of 150 mm×150mm×150mm fresh concrete cube in 28 days.

Q. 12, What is the normal height of riser in staircase?

Ans. The normal height of riser should be 15cm, 150mm or 6 inch.

Q. 13, What should be window height from plinth level?

Ans. The window heightshouldbe 1200mm. 

Q. 14, What should be minimum thickness of slab?

Ans. The minimum thickness of slab should be 125mm.

Q. 15, What should be water absorbtion of first class brick?Ans. The water absorbtion should be not more than 20% its self weight. 

Q. 16, What should be FM limit of river sand?

Ans. The FM limit should be 0.5 to 0.8 of river sand.

Q. 17, What should be FM limit of toak sand?

Ans. The FM limit should be 1.2 to 1.8 of toak sand.

Q. 18, What should be FM limit of coarse sand or shylhet sand?

Ans. The FM limit should be 2.5 of coarse sand or shylhet sand. 

Q. 19, What is the Standared size of Indian brick?

Ans. The Standared size of Indian brick is 190mm×90mm×90mm.

Q. 20, What should be weight of first class brick?

Ans. The first class brick weight should be 3.85 kg. 

Q. 21, What is DPC?

Ans. DPC stands for Damp Proof Course.

Q. 22, What should be thickness of DPC?Ans. The thickness of DPC should be 50 mm.

What is conventional formwork system? What is procedure to use?

Formwork: Formwork is dye or mould used to shape wet concrete until it sets and attains sufficient strength to carry its own weight and retains its shape.There are various types shuttering material used for construction work. 1. Conventional formwork system 2. Mivan formwork system. 1. Conventional formwork system: Terminology used in conventional formwork system- 1. Formwork(shuttering) : Mould to contain the wet concrete in the desired shape. 2. False work(staging or centering ): Temporary structure use to support a permanent structure during erection and until it becomes self supporting. 3. Scaffolding(Paranja): Light structure 'Framework' for easy excess of workmen. 4. Striking(Stripping): scientific dismentling and removing formwork. 5. Sheeting(Sheathing): Supporting membrane in contact with the wet concrete. 6. Joist(Batten ): Horizontal member supporting sheeting (slab and beam). 7. Bearer(Runner ): Horizontal member supporting joista. 8. Pro

How many number of bricks needed in 1 square meter?

Required of bricks in 1 square meter: Generally, the size of bricks at site we found that, 230mm length, 115mm width, and 65mm thick.  If we assume 10mm thick mortar then the nominal length will be 240mm and thickness will be 75mm. Diamention change, mm to meter Length=240mm=0.24m Thickness=75mm=0.075m Now, we are calculating the area of 1 brick                            = 0.240×0.75                           = 0.01824  square meter Now, we are find nos. of bricks in 1 square meter Nos. of bricks= 1 square meter/ area of 1 brick Nos. of bricks=1/0.01824=55.55~ 56 nos.  If brick wall is 4 inch thick then, Nos. of bricks in 1 square meter = 56 nos. If brick wall is 9 inch thick then, Nos. of bricks in 1 square meter = 112 nos.  Variation in nos. bricks occure in following conditions: The number of bricks in 1 square meter are varies on following factors: The length of brick, thickness of brick and the thickness of mortar used in masonry work.  If the size of bricks increased and the th

What is concrete cube? How to test compressive strength of concrete by cube test?

Cube Test: In this test chque a compressive strength of concrete. Take a cube mould which dimentions are 150 mm×150 mm×150 mm (l×b×h) symultenouly. Also used a tamping rod of 16mm dia.Before the filling of cube mould apply the oil in the internal surface prolerly by which mould open eayly and surface be come smooth.On the cube writedown the casting date, grid number, footings, columns, beams, or slab. After 12 hours remove from mould and sink in quring pond. Generly we are cast 6 cubes, 3 cubes test after 7 days and 3 cubes test at 28 days. If you can test at 14 days then need to be cast of 9 cubes. In each test take 3 cubes and consider avrage value of all 3rd.After 7 days concrete cubes dry prolerly in the persence of sun. Weight the cube one by one and writedown. The each weight of concrete cube not less than 8.1 kg. How we proove that the weight of concrete cube should not be less than 8.1 kg. Given dimentions of cube are length =150mm=0.15m, width=150mm=0.15m, depth=150mm=0.15m, s
