Which is Best Cement In Tamil Nadu? Discuss

2011-09-01T09:09:00.000-07:00

As a Civil Engineer, We should know the qualities of each cements. There are lot of cement Manufacturing companies in Tamil nadu, India. New entries are also playing a vital role. It is hard to specify the best cement to construct your proposed building. However, after a deep survey among Civil engineers, we concluded some best cement manufacturing companies in Tamil Nadu, India.
These are the Top most selling Cements in Tamil Nadu.
Ultra Tech: Often used by Civil engineers is Ultra Tech. This cement have High Compressible strength and got satisfied results from all the laboratory test as well as Field Test. So, Every one can say, Ultra Tech is at No.1 Position
Barathi Cement: Entered just before months in Cement Market, Barathi Cement has got its good selling value. This cement also gave satisfied test results but somewhat lower that Ultra Tech. So, Barathi cement is at No.2 Position
Ambuja Cement: Everyone may know this name as most advertisements inbetween cricket matches are occupied by Ambuja Cement. This cement has good selling Value. By its Logo, all can predict its Good compressive Strength. Ambuja, the giant in Compressive strength and stands at No.3 Position.

MAT Foundation (or) Raft Foundation

2011-08-18T18:59:00.000-07:00

Mat foundation is otherwise called as Raft Foundation and its working principle is similar to Shallow foundation. Mat foundation is preferred for large space where separate footings are not possible to construct due to overlapping condition. Generally, Mat foundation's footing will extend over a large area. The main reason why the Mat adopted by most Engineers is Mat will distribute loads equally to prohibit differential settlement. Mat is considered when the soil condition is so Poor & week.

Types of MAT or Raft Foundation

i) Flat Plate with Uniform Thickness

ii) Flat Plate Thickened under columns

iii) Basement wall slabs

Design of MAT Foundation

Before designing, the following items are to be determined

i) Bearing Capacity of Foundation

ii) Settlement of Foundation

iii) Stress distribution

iv) Differential Settlement

Assumptions

Rigid and Flexible

What is Modular Ratio? Modular Ratio in RCC(Reinforced Cement Concrete)

2011-08-14T07:34:00.000-07:00

Modular Ratio is defined as the Ratio between Modulus of Elasticity of Steel and Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete. This is because, a Reinforced Concrete is made up of Both Steel and Concrete. In this case, Steel is a Tension member and Concrete is a Compression Member. When Load is applied, a Rcc member seem to carry same load but strain produced in it is different. As per IS456:2000

Difference Between Singly Reinforced and Doubly Reinforced Beams. Explain with Neat Sketch

2011-08-13T22:44:00.000-07:00

For a Beam, It is necessary to provide Reinforcement(Steel Bars) in Compression and Tension zone. In a beam, If the reinforcement is only in tension zone then it is called Singly Reinforcement Beam and if the reinforcement is both at Tension and Compression zone then it is called Doubly reinforced Beam. In both case, there will be rod in tension and compression zone. This is because, it is not possible to form a Beam structure without stirrups. To hold the stirrups in standing position, it is necessary to place two reinforcement in compression zone of singly reinforced Beam.. However, those two will never carry or pass loads in its body and it is just dummy. In a Beam, the top section is called Compression zone and the bottom section is called Tension zone. The figure shows the complete difference between Singly Reinforcement and Doubly Reinforcement Beam

What is Plate Load Test? List the Limitations of Plate Load Test and Explain it with neat Sketch

2011-08-12T20:36:00.000-07:00

What is Plate Load Test?
Plate load test is usually adopted to find out the Settlement and Engineering Properties of Soil such as Shear strength and Safe bearing Capacity. A plate of circular or Square in shape is placed in the bottom of the Experiment and load is applied incrementally. The Incremental load should be one fourth of the design load. By this test, settlement of load can be calculated and Load Settlement Curve and Time-Settlement Curve can be drawn.

Limitations of Plate Load Test:
(i) The Depth of Influence is Limited to certain extent
(ii) The determined bearing capacity is only for the soil that is up to 2 times of the diameter of the plate
(iii) Long time consolidation of soil can not be found out
(iv) To do this test, small amount of excavation is carried out and this may cause significant Ground Disturbance.
(v) If ground is disturbed, then the soil properties will be changed and this paves the way for wrong observation
(vi) The effect of Scale is very small
