A manmade construction that is used to block a river?

A man made construction that is used to block a river is called a dam. Dams are usually built so that watery areas can be dried out and developed as a community for people to live in.


What is the difference between slump block construction and burnt adobe?

Burnt Adobe is made by packing red sand/clay "mud" into a wooden form, allowing it to "set" removing the wooden form, drying it in the sun, then putting it into an over where the heat causes the particles to sinter together. The resulting product has an unusually high amount of empty space in its volume, and is a surprisingly effective thermal insulator/moderator. It will eventually be destroyed by water, and wicks moisture with the same result, but can be a very good building material for the SW if kept dry by design and application, and cared-for properly. Slump Block is a concrete block manufactured to look like adobe or burnt adobe, it is stronger, heavier, more durable, and lower maintenance. Some are solid, and some have air chambers in them, but, none insulate well.


What are advantages of slump test?

The slump test is the most widely used device worldwide. In fact, the test is so well known that often the terms workability and slump are used interchangeably, even though they have different meanings. • Specifications are typically written in terms of slump. • The slump test is simple, rugged, and inexpensive to perform. Results are obtained immediately. • The results of the slump test can be converted to yield stress in fundamental units based on various analytical treatments and experimental studies of the slump test. • Compared to other commonly used concrete tests, such as for air content and compressive strength, the slump test provides acceptable precision.


What are required slump height of M20 for different concrete structure?

Required slump height of M20 for different concrete structures, are normally calculated by the required slump value, which would come out to be 100 lits.
