Hello,
I want to know the difference between the initial setting time and the final setting time of cement? basically what i want to know is what different reactions take place during these periods? is there any hard limit to demarcate between the two?
Please give me marsh cone testing procedure
Pls explane the procedure of testing of Kinematic and Absolute viscosity of bitumen as per IS:1206
what are the subjects to be prepared for interview…….
Please let me know names of appratus required for soil testing lab and its cost involved
it is done to diver water flow whilst construcyion is going on river bed
Error in calculation
as a remidial measure to get strengthen foundation concrete of 1.20 m depth laid for head regulator on canal,grouting is suggested. the procedure of grouting with cement slurry may be informed. Thank you for this.
Qty of Material for 10cu-m =cost of material+Labour+ Incedential Expenses n Over head= X
X/10= A…………Cost Per cu-m
General Formulae to Calculate qty of Material for RCC is 15.2/a+b+c for 10cu-m
where a=Cement
b= Sand
c=Aggregates
For Nominal Mix M15: 1:2:4 here a is one part cement /b is sand/c is aggregate
M20:1:1.5:3 here a is one part cement /b is sand/c is aggregate
To this you add labour
To this you add over Head Charges
To this you add% of Profit
To this you add Taxes
Total cost you divide by 10 cu-m this will give you cost /cu-m
Foe desgine mIx you need to do trial with admixture then calculate cement and other materiaal content accordingly with Slump in Mind.
Hope you are clear if you want more information you can Refer any Estimating aand costing Book and for desgine mix you can refer Jain& Krishna BooK ( RCC STRUCTURE)
