How to test Bricks

Image
S Tests on Bricks The following laboratory tests may be conducted on the bricks to find their suitability: (i) Crushing strength                      (ii) Absorption (iii) Shape and size and (iv) Efflorescence. (i) Crushing Strength: The brick specimen are immersed in water for 24 hours. The frog of the brick is filled flush with 1:3 cement mortar and the specimen is stored in damp jute bag for 24 hours and then immersed in clean water for 24 hours. The specimen is placed in compression testing machine with 6 mm plywood on top and bottom of it to get uniform load on the specimen. Then load is applied axially at a uniform rate of 14 N/mm2 . The crushing load is noted. Then the crushing strength is the ratio of crushing load to the area of brick loaded. Average of five specimen is taken as the crushing strength. (ii) Absorption Test:  Brick spe...

How Prestressed Concrete is been Done and it's Benefits

Prestressed Concrete Beam Load Test to Failure The determining of the load capacity for any structure, is in these days of paramount importance, none more so, than for those involving concrete. Major building structures such as bridges rely on tests involvingprestressed concrete beam load test to failure. Introduction For enabling concrete to support a greater load capacity, or to span a greater distance than ordinary reinforced concrete, a French engineer named Eugéne Fressenet devised a process. This was during the early part of the twentieth century and was the introduction of prestressing. How It's Done and Benefits ofPrestressed Concrete The process involves the reinforcing of concrete, using pre-tensioning or post-tensioning and the result of thisprestressing process places a concrete section in compression. The compressive stresses, have the effect of counteracting the tensile bending stresses of an applied load. However, it stil...

R.C.C Foundation FOOTINGS

Image
R.C.C Foundation FOOTINGS There are mainly two types of R.C.C. footings: 1. One way reinforced footings. 2. Two way reinforced footings. 1. One Way Reinforced Footing:  These footings are for the walls. In these footings main reinforcements are in the transverse direction of wall. In longitudinal directions there will be only nominal reinforcement. 2. Two Way Reinforced Footings:  For columns two way reinforced footings are provided. The following types of the footings are common: (i) Isolated Column Footings:  If separate footings are provided for each column, it is called isolated column footing. Figure 7.3 shows a typical isolated column footing. The size of footing is based on the area required to distribute the load of the columns safely over the soil . These footings are provided over a 100 to 150 mm bed concrete. Required reinforcements and thickness of footing are found by the design engineers. Thickness may be uniform or varying. (ii...
