What is the compressive strength of M35 concrete at 28 days?

35N/mm2

actually, the '35' respresents the characteristic design strength of the concrete. this strength is pivotal in design as its the 'lowest fair estimate' of strength.in reality tere is a margin for error (between 5-10MPa)and a 5% defectives built in to a normal probability curve.in my latest research i have found that in some cases the characteristic design strength (in your case 35MPa) can almost be underestimated by 20%.the importance is on-site testing, but as previously stated, if you design to 35MPa... you are definitely on the safe side of concretes inevitable variability

What is the best hard rock used for building buildings?

Best is a subjective term. For ease of working, limestone, dolomite, or marble would be good. For strength and durability, igneous rocks such as granite or basalt would have the desired characteristics.

Where is the stepped strip foundation used?

A stepped strip foundation is often used on a sloping site where the steps allow the foundation to follow the slope without too much excavation, when compared with excavations and retaining walls. A floor structure that spans between perimeter strip foundations , whether over intermediate piles or not, also minimises excavation, when compared with a slab on grade or slab on fill floor.

Quantity of cement in Mix M30 concrete?

There is no fixed rule for this. If manual mix, cement content shall vary between 350 ~ 400 Kg / M3.

Where as for Design mix (RMC), the cement content is decided by the supplier based on lot of other parameters and achieve the desired strength in 3, 7, 15 & 28 Days. Also PFA (Portland Fly Ash) shall also be added to some extent to arrive the desired strenth. The Cement & Fly Ash content shall be 300 / 80 kg per M3, to achieve the desired strength.

What happens to your body when falling from a 17 story building?

Studies have shown that the median height of a fall leading to death is about 49 feet (so about 4 to 5 stories). Therefore, a fall from a 17-story building will almost certainly lead to death. What happens is that, as the body falls, it accelerates due to gravity until it reaches terminal velocity, which is the balance between the acceleration of gravity and the air resistance stopping acceleration and leading to a plateau of that max velocity...which is about 120 miles per hour. When the body hits a hard surface (such as concrete), it gives very little...meaning that the body decelerates abruptly from 120 miles per hour to 0 miles per hour, creating massive g-forces. This abrupt deceleration creates extreme forces on all portions of the body. Almost all bones shatter (except those in the inner ear), and organs liquify and explode.

What is a shallow floor plate?

A "shallow floor plate" refers to a building footprint that is more rectangular than square. The intent is to align the east-west axis so that the southern sun will penetrate deeper into the building, allowing for more daylight to occupied spaces.
