1. BRICK

Constituents of good brick earth:
Bricks are the most commonly used construction material. Bricks are prepared by moulding
clay in rectangular blocks of uniform size and then drying and burning these blocks. In order
to get a good quality brick, the brick earth should contain the following constituents.
o Silica
o Alumina
o Lime
o Iron oxide
o Magnesia
Silica
o Brick earth should contain about 50 to % of silica.
o It is responsible for preventing cracking, shrinking and warping of raw bricks.
o It also affects the durability of bricks.
o If present in excess, then it destroys the cohesion between particles and the brick
becomes brittle.
Alumina
o Good brick earth should contain about 20% to 30% of alumina.
o It is responsible for plasticity characteristic of earth, which is important in moulding
operation.
o If present in excess, then the raw brick shrink and warp during drying.
Lime
o The percentage of lime should be in the range of 5% to 10% in a good brick earth.
o It prevents shrinkage of bricks on drying.
o It causes silica in clay to melt on burning and thus helps to bind it.
o Excess of lime causes the brick to melt and brick looses its shape.
Iron oxide
o A good brick earth should contain about 5% to 7% of iron oxide.
o It gives red colour to the bricks.
o It improves impermeability and durability.
o It gives strength and hardness.
o If present in excess, then the colour of brick becomes dark blue or blakish.
o If the quantity of iron oxide is comparatively less, the brick becomes yellowish in
colour.

1 * Under Revision

Magnesia
o Good brick earth should contain less a small quantity of magnesia about1%)
o Magnesium in brick earth imparts yellow tint to the brick.
o It is responsible for reducing shrinkage
o Excess of magnesia leads to the decay of bricks.

Python Knowledge {everything about python you must know}

  DEFINING PYTHON: Python is an important programming language to know — it's widely-used in fields like data science, web development, software engineering, game development, automation and much more.   HOW PYTHON IS GROWING:   HOW TO LEARN PYTHON FLOW THESE STEPS GIVEN BELOW: Step 1: Figure Out What Motivates You to Learn Python Before you start diving into learning Python online, it’s worth asking yourself why you want to learn it. This is because it’s going to be a long and sometimes painful journey. Without enough motivation, you probably won’t make it through. For example, I slept through high school and college programming classes when I had to memorize syntax and I wasn’t motivated. On the other hand, when I needed to use Python to build a website to automatically score essays, I stayed up nights to finish it. Figuring out what motivates you will help you figure out an end goal, and a path that gets you there without boredom. You don’t have to figure out an exact ...

C++ Programming Map in your brain

Image
    Introduction to C++ Programming Language C++ is a general-purpose programming language that was developed as an enhancement of the C language to include object-oriented paradigm. It is an imperative and a compiled language. C++ is a middle-level language rendering it the advantage of programming low-level (drivers, kernels) and even higher-level applications (games, GUI, desktop apps etc.). The basic syntax and code structure of both C and C++ are the same Some of the features & key-points to note about the programming language are as follows: Simple : It is a simple language in the sense that programs can be broken down into logical units and parts, has a rich library support and a variety of data-types. Machine Independent but Platform Dependent : A C++ executable is not platform-independent (compiled programs on Linux won’t run on Windows), however they are machine independent. Mid-level language : It is a mid-level language as we can do both systems...
