Topic: Can some one guide me on laying concret slab

Hi Kind People,

I am constructing a house for my family. I now at building the first floor slab. As a result, I am curious to know what are the guide lines that I should take when talking to slab-contractors, and checking their work for quality.

For example, recently I got to know that one cement bag (50KG) needs about 25 liters of water under 2:5:7 (cement : sand : aggregate3/4").
Another example is about the bending of steel. I heard a steel rod must be bent on 3 positions near the joint to transfer the weight/tension equally to the adjoining rod.

I want to know things like these, or rules of thumbs and few tips to cross check the work carried out by the construction team.

Any ideas to add some light to this topic?

Thanks in advance.

Nuwan

Dear Nuwan

               You are laying RCC slab for your dream house and want some instructions to be followed by you. As about MS steel bars tri to take full length, if not possible than provide proper overlap i.e. equal to 45 x dia of the bar, bars should be free from rust and have proper cover. As for concrete material cement should be fresh, sand should be coarse sand free from silt and bazri should be free from silt etc. As per water there should be 32 liter of water required for conc. Mix of 1:2:4 and 30 liter required for Mix 1:1.5:3. For more detail you should see the concrete section of construction in gharexpert.com website, some links are given below.
