Timber – 5 Important Quality Tests and Procedures.
Timber is wood suitable for construction purposes. In order to find the quality and sustainability of the Timbers, Various Quality tests are performed.
Category: Building Materials
Aggregate crushing test to find Strength of aggregate
Aggregate crushing test is done to find out the strength of aggregate which is the fundamental and essential components of concrete, flexible pavements, etc. More than 70 to 80 per cent of the volume of concrete is aggregate. Aggregates are a very important component of concrete, so the quality really matters when it comes to aggregates. Furthermore, their uses include flexible pavements, railway ballast, etc.
Pond Ash- Applications and Benefits in Construction Full Guide
Furnace bottom ash (FBA) is a waste material, it generally has no pozzolanic property, and hence it cannot be utilised as a cement substitution material like fly ash. Pond ash is a waste product from coal-based power plants. the workability of the pond ash concrete (PAC) reduces with the increase in percentage of fine aggregate replacement

Advantages of AAC blocks – A Superior Brick Alternative
The advantages of AAC blocks stamps it as a perfect and superior building material in comparison with conventional bricks. Advantages of AAC blocks and their properties are listed out in detail.
AAC blocks Manufacturing Process – A remarkable green initiative
AAC Blocks or Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks are a lightweight, load-bearing, durable, eco-sensitive, and economical alternative and can be manufactured to meet any dimension requirements. AAC blocks are considered as an alternative and green option against conventional bricks due to its enormous qualities in terms of insulation, fire-resistant, and thermal resistant properties.
