False Ceilings give you an authentic beauty to the building as it is not common to the standard ceiling which is prepared by the use of decorative material such as gypsum board, PVC panels, tiles & much more. In between the false ceiling and the standard ceiling, there is a gap. Soundproofing in halls and auditoriums is enhanced using false ceilings.

In most cases, a metal wire keeps the false ceiling a certain distance from the original ceiling. Ceilings and false ceilings are separated by inches, but if the floor height is more than 10 feet, the gap can be increased to one foot. Fixed to the original ceiling, the false ceiling is made of metal grids.

False Ceiling Types

Gypsum Board

Gypsum board made by gluing specifically prepared paper to a core of set gypsum. As a result, it can be used without the addition of plaster on walls, ceilings, or partitions and provides a surface suitable for painting or papering. Boards made of gypsum are commonly used in interior design projects. Wall and ceiling preparations require the use of Gypsum Board as a surface material.

Due to its fire resistance, soundproof properties, and light weight, gypsum board is used for drywall. Walls, ceilings, and partition walls in residential and commercial structures should be constructed from this material. Gypsum board comes in standard sizes such as 600 mm x 600 mm. The tiles are hanging from a metal frame that swings from the original ceiling.

PVC

It is a lightweight and cost effective false ceiling material made from Polyvinyl chloride, which is the full form of PVC. A variety of buildings use PVC panels for the cladding of their exterior walls, from residential to commercial. PVC is a strong plastic material that is prepared in a factory, resulting in a smooth surface. The shape & size can be customized according to your specifications.

Due to its high water-resistance, PVC is the ideal solution for stopping water leakage through ceilings. Unlike other types of false ceilings, it requires very little maintenance and is lightweight.

Fiber

Fiber False Ceiling is produced by mixing synthetic & natural materials such as vegetable fibers, wood fibers, tars & bitumen. It is usually good for insulation along with soundproofing & acoustic nature.

Due to fiber's role as reinforcement, it provides properties such as hardness, toughness, and fire resistance, which makes it an ideal material for false ceilings in commercial buildings like retail stores, shopping malls, and offices.

Road Estimator - Easiest Software for Automatic PCC Calculation

A profile corrective course is a construction technique used to correct the alignment and slope of a road. This is typically done when the existing road has become uneven or has developed a crown, which is a raised portion in the center of the road. The process of constructing a profile corrective course involves excavating the existing road surface and then constructing a new layer of pavement on top of it. This new layer is designed to correct any deviations from the desired slope and alignment of the road.

There are several factors that can contribute to the need for a profile corrective course in road construction. For example, the road may have become uneven due to the settlement of the subgrade, or it may have developed a crown due to the accumulation of water in the center of the road. Additionally, a profile corrective course may be needed if the road has become too steep or has developed a dangerous curve.

How to calculate Profile Corrective Course?

The profile corrective courses are calculated when existing roads are redeveloped or strengthened. The existing profile and the newly designed profile may not match, which is mostly due to the-.

Change in horizontal and vertical curve geometry

Change of bidirectional road to the unidirectional one, which mostly happens when two-lane roads are widened to four lanes. 

Change in the superelevation due to the change in the design speed of the roads.

Change in the levelling of the roads.

In such cases, profile corrective course calculation is inevitable when the old road is redeveloped or strengthened or widened. 

Road Estimator is one of the highly recommended and best road estimation software. It automatically detects various road overlay conditions to calculate profile corrective courses for strengthening/widening or redeveloping the existing roads. 

PCC calculation for various road overlay conditions 

Strengthening of Roads

When the road becomes old, and there is a need to strengthen it, don’t worry! Input the data into the road estimator software, and it will automatically detect and display the issues associated with the existing road. The software will detect the various road overlay conditions and then compute the accurate profile corrective course that will be beneficial while strengthening the existing road.

 Widening of Roads

The existing roads need to be widened as the load increases with time. With the help of a Road estimator, one can overcome the technical challenges of widening roads, especially in populated areas. Whether it's a road repair, rebuild, superelevation, soil replacement, or cross-sectional changes, you have just to input the survey data into the road estimator software and see the magic.

How does a Road Estimator identify various road conditions?

Profile corrective course based on trimming of existing edge top levels: This condition identifies the pavement layers which are getting intercepted because of presence of existing road in the Original Ground Level data. The pavement layers which are intercepted are trimmed down till the bottom of the layer which is complete. PCC quantity is calculated for the layers that are trimmed off.

Trim layer based on offset: This condition is suitable when the profile corrective course is based on depth between existing road surface and the pavement layer that should be complete. For example, if the gap between existing road and DBM layer is 70mm, the PCC layer should be of a particular material and if the depth increases, first 70mm should be of one material and the remaining depth should be of different PCC material.

Manual: Road Estimator provides flexibility to define pavement layer groups based on anchor points. Anchor points are important points of a road cross section, this could be median edge, carriageway edge etc. It is even possible to identify exiting road edges using anchor points and this option could be useful to define PCC layers manually. 

Why choose a Road Estimator for road projects?

There are various reasons to choose the road estimator for road construction projects. Some of the major include:-

if I've learned anything from grad school it's to check your sources, and this has proven invaluable in the dozens of instances when I've had an MBA-type try to tell me something about finances or leadership. Case in point:

Firefox serves me clickbaity articles through Pocket, which is fine because I like Firefox. But sometimes an article makes me curious. I'm pretty anal about my finances, and I wondered if this article was, as I suspected, total horseshit, or could potentially benefit me and help me get my spending under control. So let's check the article in question.

It mostly seems like common sense. "...track expenses and income for at least a month before setting a budget...How much money do I have or earn? How much do I want to save?" Basic shit like that. But then I get to this section:

This sounds fucking made up to me. And thankfully, they've provided a source to their claim that "research has repeatedly shown" that writing things down changes behavior. First mistake. What research is this?

Forbes, naturally, my #1 source for absolute dogshit fart-sniffing financial schlock. Forbes is the type of website that guy from high school who constantly posts on linkedin trawls daily for little articles like this that make him feel better about refusing to pay for a decent package for his employees' healthcare (I'm from the United States, a barbaric, conflict-ridden country in the throes of civil unrest, so obsessed with violence that its warlords prioritize weapons over universal medical coverage. I digress). Forbes constantly posts shit like this, and I constantly spend my time at leadership seminars debunking poor consultants who get paid to read these claims credulously. Look at this highlighted text. Does it make sense to you that simply writing your financial goals down would result in a 10x increase in your income? Because if it does, let me make you an offer on this sick ass bridge.

Thankfully, Forbes also makes the mistake of citing their sources. Let's check to see where this hyperlink goes:

SidSavara. I've never heard of this site, but the About section tells me that Sid is "a technology leader who empowers teams to grow into their best selves. He is a life-long learner enjoys developing software, leading teams in delivering mission critical projects, playing guitar and watching football and basketball."

That doesn't mean anything. What are his LinkedIn credentials? With the caveat that anyone can lie on Linkedin, Mr. Savara appears to be a Software Engineer. Which is fine! I'm glad software engineers exist! But Sid's got nothing in his professional history which suggests he knows shit about finance. So I'm already pretty skeptical of his website, which is increasingly looking like a personal fart-huffing blog.

The article itself repeats the credulous claim made in the Forbes story earlier, but this time, provides no link for the 3% story. Mr. Savara is smarter than his colleages at Forbes, it's much wiser to just make shit up.

HOWEVER. I am not the first person to have followed this rabbit hole. Because at the very top of this article, there is a disclaimer.

Uh oh!

Sid's been called out before, and in the follow up to this article, he reveals the truth.

You can guess where this is going.

So to go back to the VERY beginning of this post, both Pocket/Good Housekeeping and Forbes failed to do even the most basic of research, taking the wild claim that writing down your budget may increase your income by 10x on good faith and the word of a(n admittedly honest about his shortcomings) software engineer.

Why did I spend 30 minutes to make a tumblr post about this? Mostly to show off how smart I am, but also to remind folks of just how flimsy any claim on the internet can be. Click those links, follow those sources, and when the sources stop linking, ask why.
