Compositions of Concrete

Image
Concrete is a composite material prepared by mixing binder, aggregate, water and admixtures in specified portions to gain a particular strength. There are two different methods through which composition percentages are decided, Nominal mix design and design mix design. These methods are framed after multiple laboratory experiments and theoretical studies. Basis for calculation in both the methods remains mostly same as strength of concrete. These parameters are fixed in the beginning and proportions are calculated considering through suitable methods. Concretes are divided into multiple types based on their Compressive strengths and denoted as M25, M30 etc. M 25 represents concrete type with 25 MPA of compressive strength commercial architects in bhubaneswar . In the nominal mix concrete , all the ingredients and their proportions are prescribed in the standard specifications. The mix proportions like 1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, 1:3:6 etc. (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) are adopted in ...

Application of Augmented Reality (AR) in Infrastructure Sector

Image
  Every sector in the world is adopting multiple new technologies to improve their efficiency. It can be improved in various ways like reduction in delivery timeline, reduction in errors, cost reduction, easy decision making and etc. Augment reality is one of the unique technologies in the current scenario which can give solution to all the above-mentioned efficiency factors. Customers in infrastructure sector (Architecture and construction to be specific) are facing these problems mostly cost and timeline overrun frequently, so AR technology can be the game changer and will be next big thing in the sector architects bhubaneswar . From architecture point of view, it is always difficult to design after adopting all the requirements and next is convincing them. This happens due to the communication gap between architect and the customer, gap is in terms of the difference in visualization of the future project. Which leads to delay in decision making, micro errors in the design, delay...
