Steel Structures and Corrosion Protection, analyses hydraulic steel structures and steel bridges as well as their corrosion-resistant coatings. To this end, it also operates its own chemical and corrosion protection laboratory.

The main terms of reference in the field of steel structures are:

·        Structural analyses
·        Preparing expert reports on a structure’s condition including assessments of load-bearing capacity and estimates of remaining service life,
·        Design of concepts for maintenance and strengthening
·        Material analyses on metallic materials
·        Consultancy services for replacement and new structures with regard to the selection of systems and materials, including fatigue-proof and corrosion-resistant design
·        Research and development for practical application and their implementation in standards

MARKET FORMS OF STEEL

Following are the standard shapes in which the rolled steel sections are available in the market- 1. Angle sections- The Angle section may be equal legs or unequal legs. The equal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 20 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 200 mm x 25 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 9 N and 736 N. The unequal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 30 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 150 mm x 18 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 11 N and 469 N. The angle section extensively used in the structural steel work especially in the construction of steel roof trusses and filler joist floors. 2. Channel Section- The channel section consist of a web with two equal flanges. A channel section is designated by the height of web and width of flange. These sections are available in sizes varying from 100 mm x 45 mm to 400 mm x 100 mm. The corresponding weights per metre length are respectively 5...

Materials are used for road construction

Image
Road consist of basically 4 layers: Sub-grade: The sub-grade material should be clean and free from organic matter and should be able to be compacted by roller, to form stable sub-base. The material should have the following characteristics: ·          Well graded, uniformity coefficient (D60/D10) should not be less than 3. ·          Fraction passing sieve #200 shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the fraction passing sieve #40. ·          Should have a L.L not greater than 25%. ·          P.I not greater than 6 ·          CBR should not be less than 25. ·          In coarse grain, aggregate retained by #10 sieve, %age of wear shall not be greater than 5%. ·          The maximum dia...

The different types of road construction materials

The natural earth track cannot withstand modern heavy traffic loads very satisfactorily because it lacks in strength and good riding surface. It is therefore, important to construct some structure in the form of pavements on the top of natural surface to enable it to support wheel load safety and to provide a good riding surface for a longer period. So properly constructed and maintained roads reduce the wear and tear of vehicles and also increase the speed of transportation. Therefore the construction of roads should be done properly according to the specification. 1. Construction of Earth Roads First of all sub-grade is prepared all the road surface is brought to the required camber and gradient. ·          Then the surface is rolled properly and well wetted with water. ·          Then a layer of about 10 cm thickness of graded soil is spread evenly. ·      ...
