My Arch. has given me TMT 415 structure and does not endorse the saving of TMT 500D

what is the key changes in TMT 415 and TMT 500D structure

what should be the optimum size 5″ thickness or 6″ thickness for slab

how much actually saved when someone uses 500D inspite of 415 for 5000sq feet covered area

hope to hear from you very soon

thanks

Why p.c.c is preferred for r.c.c structure?i mean why we r using p.c.c mostly in r.c.c?

I want 2 calculate steel round bar length i have round steel bar weight.so kindly send me formula and i also want formula for square bar also

Dear sir,

which admixture is suitable for the PQC in Road construction?

mrs19 says:

In a case a proposal was moved for woden work (doors+windos)-22 Nos. which came to (22*1.22*1.930)=51.80 M2
then the same is replaced by aluminium..
POst-22*4*1.93=169.84
Top-22*2*1.26=55.44
Middle bottom-22*4*1.26=110.88
Glazing Clip- 22*4*1.26=110.88
22*4*1.70=149.60

Can u pls guide how to covert the above work in aluminiumin KG

Sir,
This for my academic interest,Actually we often do dowelling of re-bars in RCC structures by drilling the existing concrete based on the dia of re-bar to be fixed.,in this regard i would like to know the following1.What should be dowelling length on post concrete surface?2.Is the dowelling length depends on the depth of the strs, if yes what is the ratio?3.What should be the chemical to be used for fixing the reinforcement after drilling operation is over on post concrete?Kindly share your knowledge on above.

doweliling length can be given by structure designer, Hilti is the company which has hilti chemical anchor.
