About the Technology
Load bearing 200mm thick interlocking blocks manufactured with special machines, having strength of 75 kg/cm2 made out of cement, coarse sand and flyash. The blocks shall be laid without mortar. However, the first course/layer, the immediate course above lintel band and the course below the floor slab level shall be laid with mortar 1 : 6 (1 cement : 6 coarse sand) or cement slurry.
Intermediate floor / roof shall be in precast R.C. Planks & joists, system. The planks shall be precasted with moulds on vibrating table and pallets in M-25 concrete. The planks shall have 3 nos. 6mm dia main bars and 6mm dia at 200mm c/c distribution bars. The RC planks shall have haunches which shall be filled with M-25 in situ concrete. The joists shall be 150mm wide. The depth and reinforcement shall be as per design and shall be partially precast with M-25 concrete. The RC planks shall be placed on wall to joist, joist to joist and joist to wall. After placing the RC planks, 6mm dia extra bars will be placed through the haunches (2nos. in each RC plank across the joists) providing temporary supports below the joists before laying in-situ concrete. Within 24 to 72 hours of laying slab, in-situ concrete a course/layer of ferrocement 12mm thick with mesh reinforcement shall be laid, mixed with water proofing compound on the slab including the walls area. Thus the total thickness of the effective slab shall be 72mm.
