Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering

2 Jun, 2021

Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering discusses in this post. Chicken Mesh in Plastering uses to prevent cracks. Concretes have a property of expansion and contraction. It expands in heat and contract on cooling. The gap between RCC Structures and walls joint fills with fixing Chicken Mesh before plastering. It fixes on the connection surface of columns, beams and walls.

Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering

 

In Construction of RCC structures, after casting of columns, beams and slab, the walls raises. Brickwork or Blockwork makes to fill space in-between columns, beams and slabs in outer sides. And to make all kinds of partition walls inside buildings. After brick or block work, plastering works performs.

The column sides touching walls hacks properly. Hacking is a process of making smooth concrete surface rough. This provides a strong bonding between RCC surfaces, walls and Plastering.

This mesh is hexagonal in shape. And possess a structure of honeycomb. This property makes it strong. And it gives a long life. It is a made of galvanized iron. This manufactures in coils. It cuts in running maters as per length requires. And minimum 100 mm in width.

Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering

It prevents the development of cracks between wall, column, beam joints and junctions. This reduces the chances of cracks occurring in walls in future. And it acts like reinforcement use in concrete. It makes the plastering strong at joints and junctions.

Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering

Chicken mesh uses in interior plastering. This uses maximum in interiors because of major pipelines for electrical conduits and water lines comes in interior walls. It Prevents the cracks occurring because of electrical conduits laying inside wall by grove cutting. The miss handling of switchboards cause electrical conduit damages resulting in formation of cracks on walls.

And all waterlines going inside these walls makes little vibrations because of water pressure.  The miss handling of water taps causes water pipe lines damages resulting in formation of cracks on walls.

Uses of Chicken Mesh in Plastering

And it uses if the plastering thickness is more than 15 Cm. It is not uses in plastering lesser than 15 Cm. Because it causes hair crakes if the thickness of plastering is less.

In exterior plastering this chicken mesh is not used. It has a chance of creating rust in it. If any rust forms in it, then the plastering will fall. It is only supposed to fix the mesh only if the thickness of plastering more than 20 mm.

This chicken wire mesh is flexible in structure. This makes it ideal for using in curves and all kinds of plastering.

Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks

20 Feb, 2021

Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks discus in this post. Brick has certain physical and chemical properties. Bricks use in latest constructions. It make renovations right across the world. Brick is a soundproof, fire resisting material. As it posses these characteristics it uses to construct partition walls in Industries. And use for home extensions, walls of different thickness. It is cheap, hard, durable and easy to handle and to work with.  These properties make brick a  leading building material.

Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks

There are some important Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks. The testing’s carryout in bricks are as follows,

  1. Compressive Strength
  2. Water Observation
  3. Physical Dimension and
  4. Efflorescence

1.Compressive Strength

The brick tests for checking its load bearing capacity. This test carries with Compression testing machine. The compressive strength determines by a formula,

                                          compressive strength = Max load at failure / Area of brick at Rectangular face

Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks

2.Water Observation

This test conducts on bricks to find its water observing percentage. Bricks lays in courses and numerous patterns known as bonds. It constructs with various kinds of mortar to hold the bricks together. And to make a durable structure. The bond in between the bricks gets week when brick consumes water from mortar. For these reason water observing percentage must be less for brick. These water observing must not be more than twenty percent of its weight. It calculates using the formula,

 M = ( M2 – M1 ) / ( M1 ) X 100

Where,

M1 – Weight of dry brick

M2 – Weight of Soaked brick

3.Physical Dimension

Bricks have different sizes & Dimensions. It possess plain rectangular faces with sharp edges or corners. And it has uniform colour on all faces. There  are two major types of bricks,

  1. Modular Bricks and
  2. Non-Modular Bricks

The main requirement of brick is that it has to free from, cracks, flaws. And free from foreign materials present inside it.

Standard Modular Bricks

The standard Modular Bricks has different dimensions compares to Non-Modular Bricks. The size of standard Modular Bricks are 190 mm length,110 mm width and 90, 40 mm height.

Standard Non-Modular Bricks

The standard Non – Modular Bricks has different dimensions compare to Modular Bricks. The size of standard Non-Modular Bricks are 230 mm length, 110 mm width and 70,30 mm height.

Procedures for Testing Bricks

For making a uniform bond in-between bricks, Standard Modular Bricks and Non-Modular Bricks combines.

4. Efflorescence

Testing for Burnt Clay Bricks

It is test performs to find the presence of foreign Particles and other chemicals present in it.  In this test, the brick soaks in water for one day and dry in shade. If the presence of grey or white deposits spots it indicates the presence of chemicals.

Requirement of Burnt Clay Bricks

Bricks Tests for its physical dimension. It is consider as major aspect in testing of bricks. Twenty bricks arranges in a flat level ground surface in a straight line in contact with face of bricks.

Requirement of Burnt Clay Bricks

These arranged bricks measures with measuring instruments. Length, width and height of bricks measures for its physical dimension requirements. It differs for standard Modular Bricks and Non-Modular Bricks.Requirement of Burnt Clay Bricks

The length of twenty bricks is 3.8 m and 1.8 m width, 1.8 m height For standard Modular Bricks 

Requirement of Burnt Clay Bricks

The length of twenty bricks is 4.6 m ,2.1 m width and 1.4 m height for standard Non-Modular Bricks
