IMs and NITs for its recruitment drive.
With the promise of a strong economy, it is only natural that India has begun to attract global attention. In 2013, the estimated healthcare expenditure in India was $96.3 billion. It is expected that the coming three years will see a threefold growth in the industry. While India’s urban population has access to the services of medical professionals, rural India is still receiving services from unqualified practitioners.
It is in the context of this problem that Practo, which has achieved reasonable success in the healthcare IT space, has created a vision to provide everyone in the country with a health account. After raising $30M from Sequoia Capital and Matrix partners, this Indian company was in the news again for acquiring the digital fitness solution startup, Fitho.
The 1000-member strong team has been responsible for the expansion of the company into tier 2 cities. With the injection of fresh funds, the company is all set to realise its dreams of making healthcare accessible to the remotest corner of the country. Their expansion plans are ambitious as they prepare to double their workforce by the end of the year.
Ninty per cent of their team is made up of employees in India, which is going to remain constant. With a 200-member strong leadership team, Practo functions on the mantra of ‘getting things done’. The company will visit premier institutes like the IITs, IIMs and NITs to start its recruitment drive. However, MBA colleges from tier 2 cities will not be ignored because the company wants to give an even chance to those who could not attend such premier colleges.
It seems common in some commercial construction to use corrugated steel plates to form a 'deck' surface which concrete is later poured onto. The combined steel/concrete then forms a very strong floor surface.
I am interested if there are any guidelines for doing a similar process on a residential or DIY level. For example, an elevated shed floor could conceivably be constructed out of metal roofing over wooden joists, with concrete poured on top. Perhaps even a freestanding deck.
Ideally I'd like to find out if there are standards or guidelines for the wooden deck framing, metal gauge and other dimensions, if rebar or mesh is to be used, concrete thickness, etc. And/or what building codes might have to say about this.
I don't know if such a guide is published but if this is ever something done by contractors on a small scale then... maybe.
Also though I'm in the US where wood framing is common in many countries masonry seems to be more typical, so any global examples/information would be welcome also.
This is not a complete answer to the question but it is at least a residential example of this kind of construction. It shows how a front porch is put together.
So it can be done although the backgound of whether this was a custom engineered project or how else the design was arrived at is not clear.
Here is another method - this is almost a counterexample to the other answer. Non-structural concrete over standard wooden structural framing.
In the metal-pan approach, if the metal is not providing any structure itself then it is really just a form for the concrete until it cures and then the concrete supports its own weight; but in THIS example it is the opposite - a wooden structure already exists and it is topped with concrete. The concrete is basically just flooring material and does not support its own weight.
This has all the advantages of concrete as a surface - durability, hardness, you could bond tile to it, etc. But it does not rely on the concrete for actual structural strength of the building, as a metal-pan would in a commercial setting.
The wood under the concrete has to be protected from moisture in an exterior installation.
Concrete is not waterproof and will actually absorb water and rot out any wood touching it. In Figure 2 you can see that waterproofing has been carefully applied to the plywood subfloor & up the walls.
Also the wall flashing appears to be correctly designed to lap over the floor waterproofing.
The dead load of the concrete has to be accounted for in the design of the wooden structure.
This is not as bad as you might imagine - 4" (10 cm) of concrete would weigh about 50 PSF (lbs / sqft) which while not insignificant can be designed into your floor loads. E.g., a normal residential deck might be designed for approx. a 50 PSF total load.
In Figure 1 below you can see that 2x10 or 2x12 framing, 16" centers has been used - fairly standard.
Deflection of the substrucure has to be accounted for, to prevent the concrete from cracking.
Probably you'd need to design this like you would for a tiled floor, such as L/360 or better. Although even if it did crack, this might only be unsightly and not a serious issue.
And/or some rebar could be added although that was not done in the example here.
I don’t have any pictures but all of my house is steel and cement new house built on water in ma about 21,000 gsf 14,000 living 7,000 per level the basement is 10ft High with the foundation on re enforced cinder block. Basement has larger steel I beams supporting lighter steel framing. The first floor, floor is 6 inch steel decking with 2inch of concrete with finished floor on top the exterior walls are mostly light gauge steel framing the wall facing ocean is re enforced cinder block to withstand storms. The same system is used for the second floor. The only part of wood structure in the house is the roof plywood for nailing purposes. The interior load bearing walls use steel studs and interior patroons are light weight steel studs. You may say this is over the top but after loosing a house to a storm and another to a fire you would understand. The biggest plus is that there is not many interior load bearing walls so you can have what ever flow you want.

Los Angeles Football Club are the newest Major League Soccer franchise. Under the direction of former US Men’s National Team, Egyptian Men’s National Team, and, briefly, Swansea City manager Bob Bradley, LAFC has waffled between good and great all season.
LAFC leans heavily on a core of veteran MLS talent including Laurent Ciman, Benny Feilhaber, and Lee Nguyen, but it’s a pair of young attackers that light the fireworks when they go off. Diego Rossi, a 20-year-old Uruguayan Designated Player, has five goals and six assists in his first 15 matches. Along with Latif Blessing, a zippy winger selected from Sporting Kansas City in LAFC’s expansion draft, Rossi has license to attack defenses on the dribble. As he rolls from left to right into the attacking third, LA’s creative midfielders fill spaces around him and soon an organized defense is reduced to a mucky mess.
Since Rossi likes to move central, controlling him will take a team effort, otherwise, Ale Bedoya and Warren Creavalle will soon be overloaded. But if Philly’s defenders step up to help, they leave room for Adama Diomande. The 28 year old Norwegian has only played in four games, but he already has four goals — and he has two shots on frame in each match. Staying on that pace would put him among the very best strikers in the league.

username_0: * Use the new contracts API in `MultiSigStateMachine`
* It now gets the current state of the contract from the chain (an improvement over the old version), but doing this is still a bit awkward
* Tests and error handling are also better now
* I tried to use the state machine & typed transaction libs where possible but I think what we really need is a `TypedUnbalancedTx`
