Modern methods of construction.

Modern methods of construction:-

A wide variety of modern methods of construction (MMC) techniques and products have been developed that have completely changed the behavior of construction industry from what it was before. This change is amazing and is in the way to bring more and more developments in this sector.

What are Modern Methods of Construction?

Modern construction methods (MMC) are methods that are developed in construction industry with proper planning and design so that each project reduces the construction time, cost and maintain overall sustainability.

The different MMC used in construction field includes:


2) 3D Volumetric Modules

3) Flat Slab Construction

4) Precast Cladding Panels

5) Concrete Wall and Floors

6) Twin Wall Technology

7) Precast Concrete Foundation

8) Concrete Formwork Insulation 


What is precast flat panel system?

A precast flat panel (PFP) system is a construction technique that provides an alternative to traditional site-based construction. Precast flat panel system components are mass produced off-site, making them practical for recurring requirements that also demand speed of manufacturing and consistency of product.

3D Volumetric modules ?

3D Volumetric Construction is a modular construction technology in which 3D units are produced in controlled factory setups using necessary construction and building materials. 

Flat Slab Construction ?

When we talk about a flat slab, we’re referring to a slab of reinforced concrete that firmly rests on columns. The behaviour of a flat slab is the same as that of a two-way slab, with its thickness generally being greater than the thickness of the concrete surface in a beam-slab system. Flat slabs must be at least 125 millimetres thick to comply with the requirements of IS 456:2000. 

Precast cladding panel ?

Precast concrete cladding is formed by off-site manufactured precast concrete panels, which can be used to clad a wide range of buildings, such as commercial buildings, residential, retail, leisure, hospitals, schools, and so on.

Concrete wall and floor ?

Construction of concrete walls is a crucial phase in building construction. It is constructed as a load bearing structure to transfers loads from floor to the wall below or to the foundation, in addition to divide spaces in multi-storey buildings. Moreover, concrete wall is a desirable structural element in earthquake prone areas since it exhibit satisfactory performance during earthquakes.

Twin wall technology ?

Twinwall construction is a walling system that combines the speed of erection and quality of precast concrete with the structural integrity of in-situ concrete to provide a hybrid solution. The prefabricated panels comprise two slabs separated and connected by cast-in lattice girders.

Penetration test - Test on bitumen.

Crude petroleum obtained from different source contains different portion of different constituents.  Hence, it's properties may differ.  Therefore, to judge their suitability as binders following tests are required. :-  1) Penetration test . * 2) Ductility test.*  3) Softening test.*  4) Viscosity test.*  5) Float test.  6) Specifically gravity test.  7) Flash and fire point test.  8) Spot test.  9) Loss on heating test.  10) Water content test.  1) penetration test ( viscosity test on bitumen)  An indirect measure of viscosity is tie the amount of penetration of a standard needle under standard  conditions, of load time and temperature.  The test measure the hardness or softness of bitumen   in terms of 10mm of the standard needle.                  Fig. Penetrometer apparatus Standard conditions for penetration test:- a) Temperature :- 25° ( test to be performed after sample is kept for one hour in water bath at this temperature)  b) Load on needle :- 100 gm .  c) T

Approximate estimate : Method and it's solved numerical - Civil engineering. com

Introduction :  1) An approximate estimate an approximate or rough estimate prepared to obtain the cost of a project in short time.  2) Approximate estimate is required for administrative approval And to study the feasibility of a project.        Whether the new project is beneficial and to study cost - benefit ratio, approximate estimate is necessary.  3) Approximate estimate of any work is prepared for the purpose of information only.  4) It is also called planning estimate and is prepared for the purpose of information only.  Definition - Approximate estimate  Approximate estimate is made to find out an approximate cost in a short time, without taking out actual quantities. This enable the responsible authority to consider the financial aspects of the scheme.  In case commercial projects as irrigation, residential building  , and other similar project which earn revenue income, the probable income may be worked out.  Purpose of approximate estimate :-  1) To give rough idea of the

Resistance against the British before 1857

Resistance against the British before 1857 Causative factors of People’s uprisings : ● Colonial land revenue settlements, heavy burden of new taxes, eviction of peasants from their lands, and encroachments on tribal lands ● Exploitation in rural society coupled with the growth of intermediary revenue collectors,tenants and moneylenders ● Expansion of revenue administration over tribal lands leading to the loss of tribal people’s hold over agricultural and forest land ● Promotion of British manufactured goods, heavy duties on Indian industries, especially export duties, leading to devastation of Indian handloom and handicraft industries  ● Destruction of indegenous industries leading to migration of workers from industry to agriculture, increasing the pressure on land and agriculture ● Rapid changes under the Company rule, which went against the people ● Several zamindars and poligars had lost control over their land due to colonial rule ● Ruin of Indian handicraft industry due to colon
