OPC vs PPC Some Advantages that we get while using OPC in construction sites are. Ordinary Portland cement produces a highly durable and solid sound due to the very low percentage of alkali, chloride, magnesia, and free lime in its composition. In hostile environments there is almost negligible chloride that are present in Ordinary Portland…
Reinforced Concrete Frame Reinforced concrete frames comprise of flat components (beams) and vertical components (columns) associated by rigid joints. These designs are projected solidly that is, beams and columns are projected in a solitary activity to act as one. RC frames give protection from both gravity and horizontal burdens through bowing in beams and columns….
What is Veneer? In woodworking, veneer refers to small pieces of wood and sometimes bark, usually less than 3 mm (1/8 inch), usually attached to core panels (usually, wood, particle board or medium-grade fiberboard). producing wide panels such as doors, tops and cabinet panels, floor sections and furniture. They are also used in marriage. Plywood…
What Is Concrete Blocks? Concrete blocks are commonly used in the design of buildings. It is less expensive than the other types of partition walls. Concrete blocks have a relatively decent structure, and the possibility of mistake during development is small. Furthermore, it has sufficient power to be used as a load-bearing wall. Furthermore, the…
Introduction of Contractors Three major parties are committed to each construction design: the holder, the contractor, and the operating company. A construction contractor is consistently reliable for planning and related construction activity and ensuring that the design is finalized on time and within the funding. There are various contractors for each type of work because…

What Is Shell Structure? The structure that retains their size and support load, even without frame or solid mass material inside is called shell structure. A shell is a building that is hollow from within, these shell components are usually bent and formed into a massive frame, they are lightweight constructions using shell elements. A…
What is Ferrocement? Ferrocement is a substance of wire meshes & cement mortar. It was 1st developed by P.L.Nervi, an Italian architect in 1940. This material has obtained widespread application in construction during the last 20 years. Ferrocement is a versatile sort of composite substance manufactured from OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) & layers of steel wire…
