Measure the length and average diameter the sample

membrane over the jacket, arid connect the jacket to the vacuum.

3. Place the air-dried sand on the membrane as followsa, a. For a loose sample, pour the sand through a funnel.

6. P;;; ; tpherical bearing on the top cap. Lower the testing machine beam until a slight load is placed on the sample. Balance or zero the machine'
'7. Adjust the micrometer dial gauge and make the in itial dial reading.

8. Estimate the failure load. Use loading incrernents of about one- tenth of the failure -load.

12. Compute the strains and plot the major principal stress-strain curves. The failure stress is the peak of hrghest point in the curve.

13. Pdt the Mohr diagram and find fi for each different initial void ratio. PIot a curve of p vs. e.

Non-combustible/limited combustible – Type II
 Ordinarily composed of unprotected metal structural components.

 Metal framing members, metal cladding, or concrete-block construction of the walls with metal deck roofs supported by unprotected open-web joists are the most common forms of Type II construction.

 Full dimensional lumber.

 Fire-cut joists (allow floors to collapse and masonry walls to remain standing).

 Constructed of solid structural members consisting of 6×6, 8×8, and larger dimensional

lumber.

Wood frame – Type V

 Used in the construction of single- and multiple-family dwellings, commercial, out

 May be composed of engineered light weight wood and laminate components (promotes

rapid fire spread and reduced structural stability) used in ceiling and floor trusses, and

Construction is an important sector that contributes greatly to the economic growth of a nation.

Moreover, three factors highlight the importance of construction influence on human

The construction industry is one of the largest economic activities in a county nation’s working population depends on construction and its allied activities for their livelihood. the investments made in the construction industry which is very much required for the economic development of our nation.
