A fresh set every day. Short, practical, and written the way it actually matters on site.
Sunken Slab
A slab cast lower than the surrounding floor, usually in wet areas.
On siteIt hides the drainage run below finished floor level. Waterproofing the sunken portion is what actually matters.
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.
Screed
A thin levelling layer laid over a structural slab.
On siteIt provides the falls and the flat plane the final floor finish needs.
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.
Dead Load
The permanent self-weight of the structure and its fixed finishes.
On siteIt never goes away, so it dominates long-term deflection and creep.
