A RCC beam is a structural member designed to resist bending and shear forces along with supporting loads. The beam is made of a concrete that has been reinforced with steel bars or mesh, increasing the structure’s tensile strength and enabling it to withstand bending and shear pressures. It stands as a cornerstone of structural…
Cement is a widely used construction material that consists of different ingredients, such as limestone, clay, shale, gypsum and iron oxide. The chemical properties of cement affect its performance and durability in various applications. Some of the important chemical properties of cement are: These chemical properties of cement are determined by various tests, such as…

It is a fine powder made from…
Cement is the most common and widely used material which we come across in our day to day life. A fine powder called cement is utilized in building as a binding material. In a kiln, a mixture of clay, limestone, and other materials is fired to a high temperature to create it. The finished cement…
The process of injection grouting, also referred to as permeation grouting or chemical grouting. It entails injecting a low-pressure flow of grout into the pores, honeycombs, or cracks in concrete or masonry structural members. In order to seal those cracks and strengthen the frayed or damaged concrete or masonry structural members. The grout is typically…
Pressure grouting, also known as jet grouting or compaction grouting is a technique used to improve the strength and stability of soil or rock formations. It involves injecting a high-pressure jet of grout into the ground to create columns or bulbs of grouted soil. The grout may be cementitious, resinous, or chemical, depending on the…
