Building Construction Knowledge Library

Get access to a virtual building construction handbook. From home building tools and building material guides to sustainable construction practices and construction insights, we have everything you need in one place.

Building Materials

Building Materials

Cement

Learn about cement, its properties and storage requirements. Understand the durability of our Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PSC) and Portland Slag Cement (PSC) range.

Coarse Aggregates

Aggregates ranging from 20mm to 10mm in size and angular in appearance are mixed with sand to form good-quality concrete. See what our experts look for when choosing coarse aggregates.

Fine Aggregates

Fine aggregates can be sand that is sourced from rivers or manufactured by crushing hard stones. A key challenge is to ensure the sand is free of impurities to get high-strength concrete. How should you work with fine aggregates? Get your answers here.

Water

Potable water which is fit for drinking should be used in construction. The PH of water and its ratio with respect to cement are essential for the overall quality of concrete. See why water is so essential towards creating the perfect building.

Steel

Steel bars embedded in concrete should be free from rust to avoid cracks in the structure in the future. IS: 1786 certified steel bars are recommended for reinforced cement concrete (RCC). Wondering about the kind of steel to be used in your project? We have all the answers.

Burnt Clay Bricks

Good quality bricks must be well-burnt and have a uniform shape, size and colour. They should have sharp and unbroken edges with perpendicular adjoining edges. However, there are other criteria as well that must be considered. Learn more about Burnt Clay Brick with us.

Building Construction Practices

Building

Building Construction Practices

Concrete Making

Concrete should be prepared on a clean surface and a proficient civil engineer should determine the ratio of the different constituents of concrete. Excess water can reduce its strength. Understand the ideal concrete making practices with JKCement.

Volumetric Mixing

Cement, sand, aggregates and water are measured by volume using containers or boxes, and mixed together to form concrete. What is the science behind the mix? Find out here.

Concrete Transportation

Maintaining the water-cement ratio, slump, air content and homogeneity of concrete is key during its transportation. Concrete should not bleed or segregate during transportation. Learn about essential transportation practices here.

Concrete Compaction

The process of compaction pushes the aggregate particles closer and as a result, releases any entrapped air from freshly laid concrete. Compacting concrete enhances its density, significantly increases its ultimate strength and tightens the link with reinforcement. See what best practices you can incorporate to ensure this is done safely.

Concrete Placing & Finishing

Placing of concrete is a crucial part of concrete as poor placement can cause segregation and bleeding and can subsequently impact the quality of concrete. Get clear guidance on what needs to be done at every stage.

Concrete Curing

Concrete curing is the process of maintaining the moisture and temperature conditions of concrete to allow sufficient time for hydration reaction. Concrete should be cured for at least two weeks. What else should be done in tandem? Find out here.
