👉Prestressed Concrete

🌟A member where the concrete is prestressed by the longitudinal reinforcing steel(tendons) before being subject to external loading is described as prestressed concrete. The tendons are of high strength steel (1000 to 2000MPa) and the concrete, a also at high strength (50 to 90MPa).

🌟There are two methods of manufacturing

1⃣Pretensioning the tendons before casting the concrete
2⃣Post tensioning the tendons after casting the concrete

🌟A pretensioned member is manufactured by, first, pretensioning the steel tendons over the length of the casting bed, and anchoring the steel to rigid anchor blocks at either end. The tendons are generally in the form of straight high tensile steel wires varying in diameter from 2 to 7 mm. The concrete is then cast around the tendons using shuttering to form the required shape of cross section of the member. Generally within 3 days, using accelerated curing techniques, the concrete has gained sufficient strength to be able to transfer the prestressing force to the concrete by releasing the anchorages. The shuttering is then removed and the casting bed can be used again.

🌟Post tensioned member is manufactured by first preparing the shuttering which supports sheaths or ducts. The ducts contain unstressed tendons in the form of straight or curved cables, or bars, which are free to move in the direction of their length but are restrained to prevent movement transversely. The concrete is then poured into the mould and allowed to gain strength. There is less urgency in this methods of manufacture and the shuttering is removed after a few days. Later, when the concrete has matured the steel is stressed by jacking against the ends of the beam and anchored using wedges for cables, or nuts on threaded rods for bars. The method is suitable for members of different cross section and for members which are cast in place on the construction sites where road access us difficult.

🌟The advantages of prestressed concrete as compared with ordinary reinforced concrete are

✅Reduced self weight of members
✅No cracks at service load and consequently better durability
✅Increased shear resistance

🌟The disadvantage of prestressed concrete as compared with ordinary reinforced concrete are

❎Increased cost of materials and shuttering
❎Greater supervision required to ensure concrete strength and magnitude of prestress forces,
❎Design calculations are more extensive.

👉The Role of estimating in the construction industry

🌟Estimates serve a number of different functions in the construction process.once the design of the project is underway,budget amounts can be established for the various elements of the project using procedures for a preliminary estimate.these cost budgets are compiled in a cost plan are verified from time to time during the design phase using more accurate estimating methods based on the specific design details that emerge in this phase of the project.

📌PROJECT PHASES

》program phase...owner considers the feasibility of the purposed project.

》schematic phase...designers prepare preliminary sketches of the project.

》Design development phase...the scope of work of the project is developed.

》contract documents phase...drawings and specifications are finalized these define the scope of work that forms the basis of the  contractor's bid.

》contractor selection phase...contractor's compete for the job and the successful contractor is awarded the contract.

》construction phase...construction work is executed.

1⃣Smooth wheel rollers (or smooth drum rollers)

🌟Smooth wheel rollers that can also create vertical vibration during compaction. Smooth wheel rollers are suitable for proof rolling subgrades and for finishing the construction of fills with sandy or clayey soils. They provide 100% coverage under the wheels, and the contact pressure can be as high as 300 to 400 kN/m2. However, they do not produce a uniform unit weight of compaction when used on thick layers.

@ETCONpWORK

2⃣Pneumatic rubber tired rollers

🌟Pneumatic rubber tired rollers are better in many respects than smooth wheel rollers. Pneumatic rollers, which may weigh as much as 2000kN, consist of a heavily loaded wagon with several rows of tires. The tires are closely spaced four to six in a row. The contact pressure under the tires may range up to 600 to 700 kN/m2, and they give about 70 to 80% coverage. Pneumatic rollers, which can be used for sandy and clayey soil compaction, produce a communication of pressure and kneading action.

@ETCONpWORK

3⃣Sheeps foot rollers

🌟Sheepsfoot rollers consist basically of drums with large numbers of projections. The area of each of the projections may be 25 to 90 cm2. These rollers are most effective in compacting cohesive soils. The contact pressure under the projections may range from 1500 to 7500kN/m2. During compaction in the field, the initial passes compact the lower portion of a lift.

During compaction in the field, the initial passes compact the lower portion of a lift. Later, the middle and top of the lift are compacted.

@ETCONpWORK

4⃣Vibratory rollers

4⃣Vibratory rollers are efficient in compacting granular soils. Vibrators can be attached to smooth wheel, pneumatic rubber tired or sheepsfoot rollers to send vibrations into the soil being compacted.
