FATEMAH says:

With reference to FIG. 4.23 make a detailed sketch of the beam to beam connection shown. The end plates are 15mm thick and welded to the beams. The 460UB required 10 M20 bolts for a full strength end connection. The 360 UB requires 8 M20 for a full strength connection. The tops of the beams are flush so if copes are required all details need to be shown.

tulashi says:

why is gypsum is added to cement as admixture?

Mr. Harshwardhan says:

Gypsum in concrete is a building material used as a floor underlayment used in wood-frame and concrete construction for fire ratings, sound reduction, radiant heating, and floor leveling.The mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and sand has come into general use as a term for gypsum concrete by construction professionals and architects. Gypsum concrete is light weight and fire resistant. A 1.5 inch slab of gypsum concrete weighs 13 pounds per square foot versus 18 pounds per square foot for regular concrete.Hence it is added.
