Slump Test

-

  • Slump is a measurement of concrete’s workability, or fluidity.
  • It’s an indirect measurement of concrete consistency or stiffness.
A slump test is a method used to determine the consistency of concrete. The consistency, or stiffness, indicates how much water has been used in the mix. The stiffness of the concrete mix should be matched to the requirements for the finished product quality

How much is 1 KN in Kg?

Newtons -------------- 1 N = 100 g (100 g = 3.53 oz) 10 N = 1 kg (1 kg = 2.2 lbs) -------------- KiloNewtons -------------- 1 kN = 1000 N = 100 kg (100 kg = 220 lbs) 10 kN = 10000 N = 1000 kg (1,000 kg = 2,205 lbs) -------------- Kilograms are always for one 0 less than Newtons. 'Kilo' increases a value x1000 times. If there are 12 N, then there are 1,2 kg (1.2 kg = 2.65 lbs). ___ That is only an estimation. A kiloNewton(kN) is a measure of force while a kilogram (kg) is a measure of mass. F=ma. F=force, m=mass, a=acceleration When talking about weight, weight is a force. So if something weighs 1kN then it will have a mass of 102kg (102 kg = 225 lbs). Get this by dividing this force by the gravitational constant. The acceleration gravitational constant is around 9.81m/s 2 .

EXPANSION JOINT

-
Since concrete is subjected to volume change. Provision must be made to cater for the volume change by way of joint to relieve the stresses produced. Expansion joint is function of length Buildings longer than 45 m (45 m = 49.2 yd) (45 m (45 m = 49.2 yd) = 49.2 yd (49.2 yd = 45 m)) are generally provided with one or more expansion joints. Material used as expansion joint material is armour board whose thickness is 25 mm (25 mm = 0'0-31/32") (25 mm (25 mm = 0'0-31/32") = 0'0-31/32" (0.969 in = 2.46 cm)).

Namaste everybody, today we will talk about the antiquated Indian study of Vastu Shastra. Vastu Shastra is a deep rooted practice which plans to bring concordance and harmony between the normal components and human existence. It depends on the conviction that all that in the universe is interconnected and influences our lives. We should jump profound and figure out the essential standards of Vastu Shastra. The Five Components: As indicated by Vastu Shastra, there are five essential components of nature - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. These components structure the center standards of Vastu Shastra. That's what vastu Shastra trusts on the off chance that these components are adjusted, an individual can have a serene and cheerful existence. Directional Equilibrium: Vastu Shastra likewise lays incredible accentuation on the equilibrium of bearings. Every course is related with a particular component, and on the off chance that that component is adjusted like that, it carries fav...
