#Road Construction – Road Studs




Road studs are retro-reflective supplements used in the road to improve visibility at night time and adverse weather conditions. 

Types of Road Studs

White Colour: It will indicate the traffic lane line and centre of carriageway.
Red Colour: It is indicating that there is danger and that boundary should not be crossed. Be on the left-hand side of the drive way.

Yellow Colour: Yellow colour stud is indicating a line that should not be crossed and if there is a multi-lane then should have to stay on right-hand side driveway.

Green Colour: Green colour studs shows that in multi-lane stay on left-hand side of driveway.
Based on the number of reflective sides

Ø  Type A – Two-way reflective markers, one color.
Ø  Type B – One-way reflective markers, one color.
Ø  Type D – Two-way reflective markers, two colors.
Ø  Designated H – Stud with a hard, abrasion-resistant lens surface.
Ø  Designated F – Stud with sufficient longitudinal strength for application to flexible, asphaltic concrete pavement.

Road stud materials should be made with adequate chemical, water, and UV resistance.
The angle between the face of the road stud and the base shall be no greater than 45°.

The road studs installed on the longitudinal markings shall always be placed at the center of the gap and shall never be installed upon the line segment or by the side of the line segment.

The adhesive bond used for the installation of the road stud must be of superior quality and the failure of road studs sue to adhesive strength must be 1.5 times lesser than the failure of road studs.

Coarse Aggregate and its effects in Mix Design of Concrete

Image
Coarse aggregates are one of the main components of mix design and it has a large volume in mix design of concrete. That is why it greatly af fects the concrete mix design. Its property like strength, size, shape, water absorption capacity influence the demand of water, cement and fine aggregates in mix design. High maximum coarse aggregate size will provide lower demand of water because this aggregate has lower surface area compare to small aggregate size. Rounded shaped aggregates provide economical mix design for normal concrete. Angular coarse aggregates are used in high strength concrete. Higher aggregate strength would produce higher concrete strength. Maximum size of coarse aggregate will give the idea about water demand and quantity of fine aggregate in mix design. It will improve workability. Higher maximum size of aggregate lower the surface area and lower aggregate provides large surface area. If surface area is more water demand is higher and surface area i

Uses of Rice Husk Ash in Building Construction

Image
Rice husk ash can be used as a substitute for Portland cement which reduces the cost of concrete and other use is that it can be used in production of high strength concrete. There are many applications of rice husk ash in the construction such as high-performance concrete, insulation, green concrete, bathroom floors, industrial factory floorings, waterproofing and rehabilitation, and it is also used ceramic glaze and roofing shingles. Applications of Rice Husk Ash in Building Constructions Low cost building blocks When low cost building is constructed, rice husk ash is used instead cement. As cement is expansive component of concrete and for low cost building it is not affordable to use so rice husk came in picture. It is demonstrated that, replacing 50% cement with rice husk ash would reduce cost of concrete by 25%.An Indonesian company has used mix proportion of 10% cement, 50% aggregate and 40% RHA plus water to produce blocks. The average strength of the block

Ultra High Performance Concrete

Image
This concrete has minimum strength of MPa. It has a great durability. C ommonly, the UHPC consists of cement, silica fume, fine quartz sand, high range water reducing admixtures, steel fibers, and low water to cementitious materials ranging from 0.15 to 0.25. Durability of this concrete is superior compared to ordinary concrete as its pores are discontinuous, which declines liquid penetration. UHPC is used to improve concrete homogeneity through the removal of coarse aggregate in the mixture. It does better gradation and mixture between the main components so that voids are reduced thus density increases. Steel fibres are added to the mixture to avoid brittleness of concrete. Main components in UHPC are Portland cement, Silica Fume, Limestone and or quartz flour, Fine sand, High-range water reducers, Water and Steel fibres. Compressive strength of UHPC is ten times higher than ordinary concrete. Tensile strength of about 10 MPa. UHPC has properties similar to hard r
