WHAT IS POST-TENSIONING

WHAT IS POST TENSIONG





ADVANTAGES OF POST-TENSIONING 
  • Increased Clear Spans
  • Thinner Slabs
  • Lighter Structures; Reduced Floor Dead Load
  • Reduced Shrinkage Cracking And Deflections
  • Reduced Storey Height
  • Rapid Construction
  • Large Reduction In Conventional Reinforcement
  • Better Water Resistance.
  • Its allow us to build slabs on expansive or soft soils     


These advantages can result in significant savings in overall costs. There are also some situations where the height of the building is limited, in which the reduced storey height has allowed additional storeys to be constructed within the building envelope.

"Mud Interlock Blocks: Revolutionizing Sustainable Construction"

Image
          Introduction: The incorporation of Mud Interlock Blocks in construction signifies a major leap forward in sustainable building practices. Comprising primarily of soil, these blocks utilize an innovative interlocking concept for wall construction, eliminating the need for traditional binding materials. The connection between blocks is achieved through a "lip and groove" arrangement, commonly referred to as a "free joint." Benefits: a)       Enables faster wall construction. b)       Easy to handle, reducing the overall cost of construction. c)        Applicable for both load-bearing and framed structures. d)       Effective in temperature variation, maintaining room temperature. e)       Simplicity in adjusting wall thickness during construction.  2. Understanding Mud Interlock Blocks: Compositi...

Interlocking Bricks (Blocks)

Image
Interlocking Blocks Present scarcity of sand and increasing price of Cement, the cement mortar getting more expensive. The interlocking blocks are very much useful for present scenario. Also these blocks are compression pressing manufacture technology. Not like burnt bricks. These products are 100% eco-friendly.       These blocks are coming different types of material variety   Clay blocks Fly ash blocks   Laterite blocks Also production based on size 9”, 8”, 6” and 4.5” thickness. Construction   Compare to brick wall construction, stacking of these blocks very easy. As like the name interlock, these blocks are having male female connector. These joints make the blocks perfect inter lock.   Without mortar we can join the block with the help of interlocking.   If required we can apply the cement paste each layer of the stacking. Alignment, levelling and first layering of arrangement is more im...
