Concrete being poured on the iron mesh after being lifted in a trolley. This method of pouring concrete is very fast as compared to old method of using a carrying bucket.

A concrete mixer working at a residential area. This mixer saves a lot of time in manually mixing and lifting concrete to the roof. With the help of this machine, time spent as well as efforts are considerably reduced.

Following picture shows the shuttering used for slabs.

This kind of steel shuttering is very useful as it reduces the plastering works. More over wooden logs are hard to remove and also cause breaking of edges. The steel shuttering when used with proper oiling is much easier to remove and also offers excellent finishing. All large projects use this kind of shuttering, only small house constructions are still using wooden planks and that too only in developing countries

This procedure I came across in one of the site.Just for info to Beginners. This test is called WINSOR probe test.

When the concrete is done and its up and you want to know the strength of concrete with minimum damage,this is the one of the test.

Engineer will select the location.In this case its in column.

They use this tool to drive the bolt type into the concrete. Then use a tool to measure the up stand length,from that you can get the penetration depth.Through the depth of penetration the concrete strength is being calculate.

This is on slab.
Take 3 points and take average depth to get the strength.

Follwing picture shows the shuttering for slab and beams at a construction site. On close inspection we can see that this picture shows the drop panels too.
