Find out dry material Required for 1cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Required dry material for 1 cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Solution:-

Ratio = 1:4:8 (Cement, Sand, Aggregates)
Sum = 1+4+8 = 13
Total Dry Mortar for 1 cum Cement Concrete = 1.54 cum.

Note.
VOLUME OF CEMENT BAG IN CUBIC FEET (CFT)since, 1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet = 28.80 No. of bags∴ Volume of one cement bag = 35.3147/28.80 = 1.226 CFT (cubic feet)
Therefor the Following Materials are Required:-

Cement = 1 x 1.54 x 28.8 / 13 = 3.31 Bags
Sand     = 4 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.47 cum.
Aggregates = 8 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.94 cum.

Cement =  3.31 Bags 
Sand     = 0.47 cum.
Aggregates = 0.94 cum.
Required dry material for 1 cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Medlum Density Fibre Board (MDF)

Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF)  MDF IS made from wood and other lignocellulose material refined into fibres and reconstituted with a resin binder. Row wood material is normally a single species wood. MDF has homogeneous structure with uniform density, texture and properties throughout, no identifiable grain can be seen at edge, end or face. There are no internal voids or pits and there is no variation in the surface hardness. Unlike plywood MDF doesn't delaminate. It has much higher strength than particle board. Since edges are totally smooth and uniform, costly tipping or beading with strips of wood required for plywood and particle board is not essential. It can be carved, grooved or embossed just like any timber. The surface of MDF is totally smooth and accepts all kinds of finishes - paints, varnishes and laminates. One such type of famous board in the market is 'Duratuff" . It comes in both interior and exterior grade. Duratuff prelaminated boards are also avail...

The loads Acting on staircase.

Distribution of  Loads  and its Effect on  Staircase Stair  slabs are usually designed to resist gravity  loads , comprising of dead  loads  and live  loads  as described below:  1) Dead  Load : The components of the dead  load  to be considered are: a) Self-weight of  stair  slab (tread/tread-riser slab/waist slab) b) Self-weight of ... LIVE LOADS:- IS 875 parts II specifies the load to be considered as UDL of intensity 5KN/m2 for public  buildings and 3kN/m2 for residential building where the specified floor do not exceed 2kN/m2 and the staircases are should not liable for overcrowding. DEAD LOADS:- Self-weight of stair slab which includes the waist slab, tread-rise,etc. Self-weight of finishes (0.5 to 1 kN/m?) Types of stairs                                                ...

MACHINE FOUNDATION.

MACHINE FOUNDATION. The design of machine foundation involves careful study of the vibration characteristics of the foundation system. Relevant data for the design and construction of the foundation of machine should be obtained from the manufacturer of the machine , prior to the start design.  All parts of machine foundation should be designed for maxim stresses due to the worst combination of vertical loads, torque, longitudinal and transverse forces, stresses due to temperature variation and the foundation dead load. In case, the foundation layout is partly built up of beam and column construction , straight bars should be provided both at top and bottom of the beams and the spacing of the stirrups should be close. The main foundation block should have the designed thickness and should be reinforced both at top and bottom even if the reinforcements are not required from design considerations. Machine foundations  are special types of  foundations  required fo...
