While incredibly durable, concrete is not impervious to wear and tear. Over time, cracks can develop in concrete surfaces due to a variety of factors, including settling, shrinkage, and exposure to extreme weather conditions. These cracks, if left unaddressed, can have a significant impact on the functionality and longevity of the concrete.

Their design consists of one or more hollow cores to reduce weight and improve insulation. Due to their various sizes and strengths, they are suitable for structural and non-structural walls, and their modularity enables quick construction. In this write-up, we'll examine the advantages and disadvantages of hollow concrete blocks across various parameters, including their performance in different weather conditions. #CivilEngineering #ConstructionMaterials #SustainableBuilding #StructuralEngineering #Architecture #BuildingDesign #GreenConstruction #ConstructionInnovation #EngineeringExcellence #QuantitySurveying #InfrastructureDevelopment #ConstructionTechnology #concretefunda #niteshvtank

Please correct me if I'm wrong here ... Our current default construction method for high-density housing is towers. These typically consist of: - Cast-in-place concrete structure - Cantilevered balconies - Aluminium curtainwall facades That means we are using: - The lowest performing envelope system - The highest embodied carbon facade - The worst thermal bridging detail possible Am I missing something here? #architecture #embodiedcarbon #carbon #architect

AAC industrial panels are much better than tilt-up system with an R-value of 10 continuous insulation! versus tilt-up R-value of less than 2. No wonder why warehouses are extremely hot. Also, faster and so much easier to build with prefabricated light concrete panels. AAC industrial panels are the future!

Shoring walls, rakers, tie backs are set at 6th & Harvard. Below grade weatherproofing and rebars in progress for future slab on grade placement. #construction #constructionprogress #architecture #shoring #mixedusedevelopment

𝗪𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗔 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁-𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝘁 👋 Utilizing butt-joints can help minimize waste by using shorter lengths of offcut material. This will reduce waste on site and of the project budget, butt-jointed material can also create a much more authentic appearance overall. This can be helpful to projects perhaps with larger open areas and/or with mixing in multiple solid colors or woodgrains. The kits will facilitate communication regarding single butt-joints (40ft rule) and multiple floating butt-joints. #manufacturing #construction #architecture

Choose sand for plinth backfilling to ensure a strong base for your structures. If soil is necessary, compact it thoroughly, and keep it away from the joint between old and new concrete.

The architect asked us to add extra square footage to the existing structure and also to do polished concrete in that additional section. I just wanted to show you what differences we do compare to regular stick framing when it comes to polish concreting. #Architecture #Construction #BuildingDesign #ConcretePolishing #HomeImprovement #Renovation #ConcreteFinishing #ExtraSquareFootage #BuildingExpansion #PolishedConcrete #StructuralAddition

In the realm of modern architecture and construction, materials that combine strength, durability, and versatility are highly sought after. Glass Fiber
