Diagonal Checks for Column PlacementThe correct placement of columns is important to the overall project to ensure that the wall angles are as they should be and the house is as designed. Often the only tool used is an external measure + the use of a small square. This shows one additional check, taken from the 3 4 5 triangle rule. If you measure 3 meters along one axis and 4 meters along another axis the diagonal should be 5 meters (or in this case 6, 8 and 10). This is done in addition to measuring the diagonals for equality.dozer (0 votes)

Steel StrengthThe steel distributors in general use a system for strength specification which is meaningless structural engineers. The standard strength specification as indicated here is stamped on the rebar and conforms to an SDxx format. This SD30 used here means that it would require a 30 kg. weight to permanently deform a 1 mm strand of this steel. dozer (0 votes)

Bad Cement - IndicationsThis is an example of stale cement. Cement has a shelf life of about 2 months and after that it becomes non powdery and sticks together much like this large size clump indicates. Workers will often try to use this cement with out saying anything but it is low quality and can be returned if it came from the store this way. dozer (0 votes)

Research - Color PigmentColoration of the render coat is impacted by a number of factors - the color of the fine aggregate sand use, the color of the cement, and the amount and ratios of pigment, cement, sand and water used. There several hundred test batches done to ensure the resultant color would match the design. This shows some test batches where color render was applied to cinderblocks.dozer (0 votes)
