Why do you need to lap reinforcement?

Lap reinforcement is needed because if lap is not given in a steel structure,that portion will be filled only with mass concrete and it will not attain the expected strength,so inorder to prevent that we can provide a lap rod whose length is 50D i.e 50 times the diameter of the rod.


What is the reason for caulking control joints in concrete slabs?

If you live in an area that has temperature below 32 degrees F during the winter you need to caulk joints. Water can get in the crack and cause freeze cracking. Water expands when it is frozen.


In what circumstances will mass concrete be recommeded in preference to reinforced concrete?

Mass concrete foundations are economical where the side of the excavation can be used as a shutter and where suitable depth of mass can be accommodated to disperse the load without the need for reinforcement.


Why do all concrete slabs need rebar?

When the slab is loaded and force applied to it, the top of the slab directly under the load will be put in compression. However at the bottom of the slab. the concrete will pull itself in tension. Put the ends of your fingers together than flex your wrist up. You will feel the pressure at the top of your fingertips and you will see a gap open at the bottom. That is what is happening in a slab. Concrete is strong in compression, poor in tension. Rebar, or steel, is the opposite. By combining the two, you develop a product that is superior and complimentary to the strengths and weaknesses of the individual materials.

The answer will vary slightly depending on assumptions: will the slabs have a space between them, and will you be cutting the slabs to fill fractions. 21 feet is equal to 14.2 of the 450 mm slabs. 19 feet is equal to 12.9 of the slabs. To complete the rectangular area, 14.2 x 12.9 = 183 slabs.

How many slabs would you need for a square meter if flags are 600mm x 600 mm?

To determine how many slabs of size 600mm x 600mm are needed for a square meter, first convert the dimensions of the slabs to meters: 600mm = 0.6m. The area of one slab is 0.6m x 0.6m = 0.36 square meters. Therefore, to cover 1 square meter, you would need approximately 1 / 0.36 = 2.78, which rounds up to 3 slabs.
