    I’m a civil enginner and in service sector.we awering masons and others persons who are involved in construction. it is surprising a people still taking technique of civil work as easy that they commiting a lot of mistake in daily job ultimatlyy structure get weakness and service life comes nearly half of estimated life of structure. in revenue points of view, it cost min. 150 % after only 50 years.
    1% viods reduced strength of conc. mimm 6%.
    take easy but according plan and respect of work.
