Abstract

This study is undertaken based on the different tests performed on the building materials in the region of National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. A number of developments is done in the area where all the building materials get utilized on everyday schedule and most imperative being an engineering college in the civil engineering department part of casting for research motivation of beams, slabs, cylinders, cubes, columns,, and so forth is performed by B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D., investigate researchers. Thus it was important to know the nature of the materials accessible at neighborhoods. No name of brand or merchant is referenced in this paper to stay away from any commercialization. The four fundamental building materials are cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water. All the important tests on all the fundamental development materials were performed by rules given by Indian standard codes. The strategy and the instruments utilized for testing were, in accordance with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), that are accessible in NIT research labs. The cement was brought from the neighborhood market of Hazratbal close to NIT Srinagar while as the fine aggregates and coarse aggregates were taken from the river (nallah) Sindh of area Ganderbal 10 kms from NIT Srinagar and the water tried was the accessible faucet water at research laboratory at NIT. All the materials tried was found reasonable to use for development. The experiments were performed in the mid months of year 2017.
