Knapen system of drying walls

Principle of  Knapen system : A difference of 16 °C to 24 °C is required to displace the vitiation air from a building by means of a vertical air shaft.

The Knapen Tube : The method of fixing the Knapen tube in the wall. it is a simple porous tube which is fixed with its mouth inclined outwards. As the tubes are porous the moisture of penetrates inside them. Due to difference of temperature the dry air enters in the tube from its top portion as indicated by arrow. This dry air evaporates the moisture and saturated air comes out from the lower portion of the tube. This circulation of air is due to perfectly natural laws, and remains continuous till there is any moisture left in the wall.

Anti Termite Treatment, Pre & Post Construction Termite

A.T.T  is the treatment given to the structure to protect it against Attack by subterranean termites, using a suitable chemical. The   chemical barrier   is a layer of soil in contact with the structure that has been suitably treated with approve chemical, so as to form an impervious barrier to kill that termites The following procedure of anti termite treatment to be done at the project site are based on IS 6313: 2001 The surface of the ground should be clean, compacted and firm. it should be free from any organic impurities. Safety goggles,  gloves  and face mask should be readily available at the site. The person conducting the anti termite treatment should be trained and should be wearing all the above safety gear during the operation. preliminary moisturing should be done when the soil is Sandy, loose and porous because the chemical solution may be lost due to percolation. The chemical treatment of the soil should start only after the fo...

Reinforcement

RCC slab Plane structural members which are used as floor and roof covering in a building. The thickness of the slabs looking is quite small as compared to other dimensions. Classification of the slab:-  On the basis of the ratio of longer span to shorter span. RCC slab classified into the following two types  One- way slab  Two-way slab One way slab:-  The slab in which the ratio of   (Ly/Lx) longer span to short span   is greater than or equal to 2 are called one-way slabs. These slabs are also called edge supported slabs Slab supported on four edges also behaves as one-way slab if the ratio of longer span to shorter span is greater than or equal to 2. In these slabs bending take place only along the shortest span. Therefore, the main reinforcement is provided along the shorter span and distribution Steel is provided along with the largest span. Reinforcement in one way slab:-  Main reinforcement:- Reinforcement i...
