What is a Concrete Mixer?

 

Concrete mixers are machines that assist men in preparing a concrete mixture of various strengths in a concise and timely manner. Only a few concrete mixing devices are suited for mixing concrete on the job site. Preparing a concrete mixture with varying strengths, consistency, and qualities necessitates the use of several mixers.

Under Reamed Pile : Under-Reamed Pile is a cast-in-situ solid pile with an extended base called bulb (bulb has triangle shape) at the base created by removing or digging dirt or by any other acceptable way. Bored cast-in-situ concrete piles is another term for under-Reamed Piles.

 

 

Sardar Sarovar Dam: The Sardar Sarovar Dam, located in Kevadiya near Navagam, Gujarat, India, is a concrete gravity dam erected on the Narmada River. The dam provides water and electricity to four Indian states: Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan.

 

 

Modulus of Resilience : The modulus of elasticity is the amount of energy that a material can absorb and restore to its original position per unit volume.

 

Volume of Hollow CylinderV = πh (R2 – r2)

 

 

WBM Road : The Water Bound Macadam Road is a type of road construction in which the base is made of broken stones and the road surface is bound by stone dust with the help of moisture. It is one of the most widely employed processes in the construction of roads. Around 1820, it was given the name Macadam after the great Scottish engineer John Loudon Macadam.

 

 

 

 

What is Sprinkler Irrigation System : The sprinkler water system is a method of applying water to a water system in the same way that regular precipitation does (in the form of drops). Pumping is used to transport water through a network of lines. It is then sprayed into the air by sprinklers, separating into small water droplets that fall to the ground. The syphon supply system, sprinklers, and working conditions should all be designed with this in mind.

 

What is a Ranging Rod?

 

A diverse group of people A surveying equipment used for building measurement is known as a rod. It is also known as a Ranging pole since it aids in surveying by marking position.

 

Brard’s Test on stones : A few bits of stone specimen are immersed in a boiling (concentrated) sulphate of soda solution in this test.

 

 

Composition of Cement Clinker

 

Dicalcium silicate

Tricalcium aluminate

Tetracalciumalumino ferrite

 

 

Definition of Estimating and Costing : Estimation is a strategy for measuring or quantifying the various quantities and estimated expenditures on a specific work or project.

 

 

What is Timber?

 

Timber, as we all know, refers to wood that is appropriate for construction, carpentry, or a variety of other engineering applications such as the construction of doors, windows, roofs, partitions, beams, posts, cupboards, shelves, and a variety of other items.
