what is mean by tie beam?where it is used? Answer #1

Tie beam is a beam connecting two or more columns for making it more stiffens to make the structure as a frame for stability, & thereby reducing the effect of long column effect. And it is not used to carry vertical load of slab or walls but it takes axial compression load so in time it acts a horizontal column
Re: what is tie-beam?where it used? Answer #1

The tie beam is a terminology used for a beam whose function is not to carry the slab load but just to act as a stiffner to the columns and thereby reduce the long column effect. Sometimes it also acts as a damp proof course at the plinth level and as a seperator for ventilators and doors when placed at the lintel level. Tie beam is a beam connecting two or more columns for making it more stiffns to make the structure as a frame for stability. Tie beam not carry and vertical load of slab or walls but take axial compression load so some time act as a horizontal column.

Re: HOW MANY NO OF SOLID BLOCKS AND BRICKS REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WALL FOR 100 SQFT? Answer #1

in .75sq ft=2 bricks in 1sq ft=3.5 so we need 35000 bricks for 100 sq ft wall 1 std. brick size = 90mm x 90mm x 200mm hence 1 bricks= 0.11 x 0.23m (including mortar thickness)=0.0253 sqmt.x 10.76= 0.27 sqmt. So for 100sqft. total no. of bricks = 100/0.27=370 n
r #6

Indian Brick Standard Size 9inches*4.25inches*2.75inches Therefore depends on lenght and breadth it varies,for instance if it is (L*B)9 inches *4.25 inches wall then for 1 sq.ft it requires 3.76 bricks [MAXIMUM], excluding of mortar,if it is (L*B)9inches *2.75 inches wall then for 1 sq.ft it requires 5.81 bricks[MAXIMUM} ,excluding mortar.When mortar is added based on thickness of mortar the following bricks will be reduced accordingly. Area of 41/2" wall required 60 nos of bricks per sq.m Area of 9" wall required 120 nos of bricks per sq.m area of solid blocks (11 -12 nos) per sq.m CONSTRUCTION AREA = = = wall = "wall 100.00 Sq.ft 100/10.76 = 9.29sq.m 9.29x60 = 557.40 (558.00 nos)41/2" 9.29x120 =1114.80 (1115.00 nos)9

how many no of cement bags required for 1:4 plastering for 100 sqft? how many no of cement bags required for 1:3 plastering for ceiling for 100 sqft? Answer #1

for calculating the volume of cement in this question it

also need thickess. we consider the thickness of the plaster 0.5 inch = 0.04' thus the total volume will be 4cft. this is the wet volume now multiplying it with constant 1.27 the dry volume will be 5.08 now sum of ratio is 5 according to the formula 1 x 5.08/5 = 1.01 cft one cement bag have volume of 1.25 cft now dividing it on 1.25 we get 1.01/1.25 = 0.81 bags in plaster the volume of cement depends on the thickness of the plaster but normally it is adopted as 1/2" that is the answer of both question change the thickness of the plaster will change the value of volume of cement. thanks
