A fresh set every day. Short, practical, and written the way it actually matters on site.
Rebar Grade
The yield strength class of reinforcing steel, such as Fe415 or Fe500.
On siteHigher grade means less steel for the same moment, but development and lap lengths get longer.
Bond Stress
Shear stress at the interface between a bar and the concrete gripping it.
On siteDeformed bars develop roughly 60% more bond than plain bars, which is why IS 456 allows a shorter Ld for them.
Segregation
Separation of coarse aggregate from the mortar paste in fresh concrete.
On siteUsually caused by dropping concrete from height or over-vibrating. Leaves honeycombed, weak pockets.
Non-Destructive Testing
Assessing existing concrete without damaging it.
On siteRebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity estimate quality in structures already built.
Formwork Release Agent
A coating letting shuttering strip cleanly off hardened concrete.
On siteToo much migrates into the surface and ruins the bond for plaster or paint.
