reinforced concrete and stone
What are the uses for sand and gravel harvested from the continental shelf?
The sand and gravel harvested from the continental shelf are used in making concrete and in other construction applications.
What are the mediums in architecture?
Mediums of Architecture· Wood-Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.· Stone- is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired.· Concrete is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with ceme3nt. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger structure, Ferro-concrete or reinforced concrete is used. It is concrete reinforced with steel.· Steel- it is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days.9
What kind of sand is used in sand sculptures?
the kind of sand that is used in sand sculptures is reguler sand just with a touch of water so it may harden just like if you have dry sand then you cant do anything when it is wet you may sculpt.
Why do builders put metal rods in concrete?
Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.
What is hybrid fiber reinforced concrete?
The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
What materials were used to build the Bloukrans Bridge?
Reinforced concrete
What machinery was used to build christ the redeemer?
They used reinforced concrete and soapstone.
What are the differences between the mass concrete and reinforced concrete?
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
Which material was used to make The Lotus Temple?
Reinforced concrete shell with marble cladding
What is meant by reinforced concrete?
A reinforced concrete is a one in which steel is used. The inclusion of steel in concrete is to take up the tensile forces, since concrete is weak in tension and strong in compression. Moreover it gives warning of the structure before failure.
What material was used to make Queen Victoria Building?
Sandstone and reinforced concrete
Was sand a building material in ancient rome?
Sand was used only to lay the bottom layer of the bed of the stone-paved roads. The Romans used Roman concrete. This type of concrete was different and, unlike modern concrete, sand was not used to make the mix.
What materials were used to build the Petronus Towers?
glass, steel, reinforced concrete on the outside
Where do you normally use a reinforced wide strip concrete foundation?
A reinforced wide strip concrete foundation is used if the soil is soft or is of a low bearing capacity. This would not work for heavy or clumpy soil.
