How to use Citation machines 👇# Goggle citation # reference machine #

 Are you hearing about citation machine first time?

Don't worry  I will clear your doubts. 

Whenever  we prepaire any research  paper or research work report for college. We are advised to give the references of our relevant literature  referred during research work. 

This reference making is very boaring work. 

Here I will give you  very easy method  hence this boaring work will change in interesting work.

So lets start.

1. Type citation machine on google or any other browser. 

2. Sign up  using your Google account  

It is only for keeping your citation history for future use and it's safe.

3.  After sign up create citation list and fill up necessary information.

4. After creating citation list click on citation list and then click on create citation. 

5. After clicking create citation-

     If you are citing a book then click on book,

     If you are citing website then click on website.

     If you are citing journal then click on journal #Paper citation#

6. After selection from last step for citing a work "enter DOI of journal which you want to cite"

7. After clicking search, you will  get your required research  document. 

If it is correct then click on cite to make citation.

After that you will see the review  information  of journal then you  have to continue.

8. After continuing  you will  see that your cited paper is added in your citation list. 

As like following  above steps I am sure that you  can cite different papers for your  research easily. 

*Google account*

In next part of this blog I will share you , 

How to get word format of your citation list,

Hence you  did not require to type reference  in your research report. 

share this with your friends. 

Thank you , 

See you  again,

💡TIPS FOR SAVING TIME & 💰MONEY DURING CONSTRUCTION 🕐 Part 1

Welcome back friends, 

We all know that house construction is the very much interesting and important topic of everyone's life, or we can also say like it is the very much important dream in every ones life.

 House construction is also a time consuming or huge investment task some time or if we don't have as much required knowledge about it,

so today we are going to discuss about some basic and important tips that we can use during house construction to save our valuable time and money.

So lets start,

👉Understand the present and future needs of your family.

 Generally house is the place where we spend most of the important and pretty time with our family. Means our family is the prime user of the house so before planning any house we must consider present or future needs of our family, means if a family having two Childs so as per the future requirements we need to design our house with two seprate rooms for each of them.

👉Ensure that the construction plan, working drawings and the estimated costs are in place before starting construction.

   "A good start and a good end is most important" so before starting any construction activity we must have proper plan of building in hand with all the required drawings and a faire estimated cost, because we generally observe that many house constructions stop suddenly or go slower than their scheduled time due to some any changes in drawing or facing financial problems. so before starting actual activity we need to sort out this all issues as much as possible.

👉Use local available materials.

         Transportation is being very much expensive now a days so we can save lots of money by using locally available materials. if we use locally available material we can order it at any time and within very much short duration it can arrive at our construction site hence we can reduce chances of stopping work due to material shortage.

👉Make sure there is maximum natural light and air in all rooms By providing proper ventilation and windows.

   Not all the time artificial light or brightness is good Sometimes natural light play very good role in respect with artificial light. Natural light kills some types of bacteria and prevents fungi production due to moisture. Here is very major role is of your engineer because he can decide where and how much windows are required. Windows and doors are also need to design by considering function of room.

🏠How to protect the building from chemical and environmental attack?🏗 Part 2

 Welcome back, friends.

                 As we have discussed in Part 1👉https://engineerpravinkadam.blogspot.com/2021/04/how-to-protect-building-from-chemical.html?m=1 of this blog about. How environment or Chemicals degrade the building,  Effects of chemical on building, How to protect the building from chemical attack? and we done General introduction about  the most. effective, economical and user friendly. Solution To protect the building from chemical attack that is AC- DUR- CT (S).

        We will discuss  more in details about this AC- DUR- CT CS) *Building chemicals* in this blog. 

So lets Go.

       It is Specially designed Coating having judicious blend of high quality. resin and inert fillers. It is recomended for protection of interior & exterior wooden, Concrete and metal surfaces from environmental and chemical attactk.

🤔Where AC-DUR-CT (S) is useable?

AC-DUR-CT (S) is universally acceptable for all types of Civil Engineering structures. It is ideally suitable for:👇👇👇

👉Underground concrete & bridge insulation coating.

👉Roof waterproofing & its maintenance.

👉Marine structure protection & water proofing. Car park, ramps & road marking.

👉Water purification & ETP plants.

👉Metal & wood protection.

( Labours applying solution coat to concrete)

👉Product is suitable for protection from environmental attacks, micro organisms, termites, pollution and heat.

👉It is useful for furnace area, structural protection, water insulation, ETP and other treatment plants, fuel spillage areas.

🤔How it is advantageous over another chemicals available in market?

The system has following advantages👇👇

👉Super sleep and shiny finish with special anti-fungal formula to provide protection from fungus.

👉Excellent gloss and gloss retention.

👉Excellent colour and colour retention.

👉Excellent flow characteristics to form smooth and uniform finish.

👉Excellent durability.

( Expers checking quality of workmanship # Quality control #)

👉Crack bridging & deep penetrating property.

👉Excellent water proofing & chemical resistance.

👉Excellent adhesion & flexibility.

🤔What is the Procedure for Application of this epoxy coating?

            Any construction material is useless until and unless it is use by proper way or apply in work by systematic way.

a) Surface preparation:

        Surface should be sound and free from contaminations such as loose particles, oils, fats, lubricants and laitance.

b) Mixing & Application:

        In stated proportion resin and hardener should be mixed uniformly. Normally two coats are recommended. The dry film thickness (DFT) should be approximately 80-100 microns per coat.

🤔What are the properties of this AC-DUR-CT (S) ?

Typical Properties

Name : AC-DUR-CT(S)

Form: Two component, ready to use

Colour: Pigmented to limited colours

Mixing Ratio: Resin : Hardener   (parts by                                                                   weight )                                                    ( 9:1 )

Coverage :  Approximately 4-5 m2/kg @ 80-150 micron (DFT)

             

         ( Checking of Dry film thickness )

Heat Resistance: 120°C for 30 minutes

Drying Time : 3-4 Hours @ 27°C

Pot Life: 4-5 hrs at 27°C

🤔Is this product (AC- DUR- CT (S)) approved by (BIS ) Indian standard ?
