An instrument for measuring minute deformation ina test specimen caused by tension, compression,bending or twisting. It is also called EXTENSOMETER.

For structural properties of A36 steel the maximumallowable stress (Fb) for bending is.

It is a part of a beam that is thickened or deepenedto develop greater moment resistance.The efficiency of a beam can be increased by shapingits length in response to the moment and shearvalues which typically vary along its longitudinal axis.

Some 80% of the concrete made in North America, Australia, Japan and most of Europecontains an admixture, and more than half contains air-entraining agent. Other admixtures areaccelerators, bonding admixtures, super plasticizers, water reducers, retarders, anti-freeze,corrosion inhibitors, pore fillers and thickening agents. Shrinkage preventers, coloring (pigments),damp-proofing, expanding, fungicidal, gas-forming, grouting and flocculating agents also exist. Forconcretes with high cement needed to such an extent that the admixture pays for itself without harmto the physical properties. But this saving probably never occurs with very lean concretes.

an admixture which hastens the hardening rate and/or initial setting time of concrete. Calciumchloride (CaCI2) was widely used, but because it can corrode embedded steel it is now banned inthe UK except in unreinforced concrete. Chloride-free accelerators that are safe with steel are based on inorganic chemicals including formats, nitrates and thiocyanates. Sodium carbonate (washing soda) can be used to make a flash set for quick repairs but It weakens the concrete.

an admixture which slows up the setting rate of concrete, sometimes applied to formwork so thatwhen it is stripped the cement paste which has been in contact with it can be removed by light brushing.

piece of steel plate, usually roughly rectangular or triangular, w/c connects the members of a truss.

When a heavily loaded column punches a hole through a base, the base is said to fail by punching shear. Punching shear is prevented by thickening the base or enlarging the foot of the column so that the shear stress (assumed uniform) round the perimeter of the column does not exceed twice the allowable shear stress in concrete.

for any material the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) to the strain (deformation per unit length).

the stress at which noticeable, suddenly increased deformation occurs under slowly increasing load

the stress beyond which further load causes permanent set. In most materials the elastic limit is alsothe limit of proportionality.

the load acting across a bean near its support. For a uniformly distributed load or for any other symmetrical load, the maximum shear is equal to half the total load on a simply supported beam, or to the total load on a cantilever beam.

the force on a member divided by the area which carries the force, formerly expressed in psi, now in N/mm2, MPa, etc.

a change in length caused usually by a force applied to a piece, the change being expressed as a ratio, the increase or decrease divided by the original length.

test for the stiffness of wet concrete. A conical mold is filled with concrete, well rammed, and then carefully inverted and emptied over a flat plate. The amount by which the concrete cone drops below the top of the mold is measured and is called the slump. This test is valuable only when the aggregates are used all the time and in the same proportions. It then gives a rough idea if the water content of the mix. This otherwise most useful test cannot be applied to stiff concretes with slump of less than about 20 mm.

a structural member designed to resist loads which bend it. The bending effect at any point in a beam is found by calculating the bending moment. Beams are usually of wood, steel, light alloy, or reinforced or pre-stressed concrete.

in concrete work, a break in a structure made to allow for the drying and temperature shrinkages (of concrete or masonry) thus to prevent cracks forming at undesirable places. Since all materials containing cement' shrink appreciably on drying, contraction joints are needed in every long structure.

concrete members are pre-cast, in a works, with the tensioned wires embedded in them. The wires are anchored either against the molds or against permanent abutments in the ground. After hardening, the concrete is released from the mold and the wires are cut at the anchorage. This method may give a larger loss of pre-stress than with post-tensioning but is usually economical for small members and may produce better concrete since it is always factory controlled. In long-line pre-stressing, used for the pre-casting of pre-tensioned floor slabs or beams, the casting bed may be as much as 180 m long; enabling units may be 1.2 m, and their thickness 15, 20 or 25 em. They usually have tubular voids running down the length and occupying about 30% of the cross-section.

concrete beams, columns, lintels, piles, and parts of walls and floors which are cast and partlymatured on the site or in a factory before being lifted into their position in a structure. Where many of the same unit are required, pre-casting may be more economical than casting in place, may give a better surface finish, reduce shrinkage of the concrete on the site, and make stronger concrete.

An incomplete form of peeling where the paint cracks into the large segments, the edges of which breakaway from the surface while the center remains attached.Usually due to repeated application of new coats over old coatsDiscoloration of coating caused by solube color in the underlying surface,may be prevented by applying an impermeable undercoatingFormation of blisters or pustules in coating, may be due to underlying spots of grease,the sun during the process of drying

As it called, changes in atmospheric conditions during application over sweating or incompletely dried undercoats, spots of grease or soap

Adhesive property of incompletely dried coating, it is caused especially in the refinishing of old work, over unclean or greasy surface
