👉Do You know that

1.A structural member experiences

concrete cancer when the reinforcement steel embedded inside of the component begins to corrode.However, due to the rusting of the reinforcement, it tends to displace the concrete around it thereby causing it to be brittle which usually accelerate the spalling defect in the slab which in most times could attributed to bad workmanship.

2.Capping beam:

Capping beams  for piles aims at transferring loads from
closely spaced columns or
walls into a row of piles.

3.Silo

Silo used to store dry, bulk cement. It is a cylindrical container mounted on stilts. The cement is fed into the silo by air pumps to the top of the bin and drawn from the bottom through a port operated by a powerful motor.

4.We use Marsh Cone Test to determine the admixture content in concrete. This method is normally used for finding the amount of plasticizer and superplasticizer.

5. Staggering the reinforcement means separating the locations of the lapping lengths so that the laps do not coincide along the span.The length of the lap fluctuates according to the concrete strength, the rebar grade, size, and spacing.
