Constituents of Dry Shake Floor Hardeners

These contain high grade quartz sand, different additives, mineral and non-metallic aggregates for providing high resistance in industrial flooring.

Benefits of Using These Hardeners

Some of the main benefits of using these dry shake floor hardeners are:

They are able to resist oil, dust, hydrocarbons and rust.
Provide smooth finish and are fiber suppressant.
These can have light reflective properties and resistance to corrosion.
They are abrasion proof and static disseminating.
Where they can be used?

Few of the common places where these hardeners are used include:

Light to moderate duty industrial flooring.
Shops, stores, workshops and warehouses.
Exhibition halls, loading bays and distribution facilities.
Food processing plants and retail outlets.
Aircraft hangars, railway workshops and power stations.
Application Procedure

These hardeners are applied over freshly laden concrete using dry shaking or using the method of Fresh on Fresh topping.

Dry Shaking

In dry shaking the hardeners is sprinkled is applied in 2 stage in case of manual application. However, if a mechanical spreader is used then only a single application works.

Fresh on Fresh Topping

In this procedure water and hardener are mixed with 3 liters of water used for a 25 kg bag of hardener to form homogeneous slurry. This is then poured over the concrete surface and leveled by use of straight edges to achieve desired thickness.

Next step involves floating the hardener with the help of hand trowels in case of corners and edges while using power floats when work is to be done over main surface. Lastly, smooth finish is achieved by using power float which has finishing blades.

Concrete Curing Compound

Curing is essential for the hydration of cement in concrete making. So, to maintain required moisture content, come precautions are applied. Concrete curing compound is a compound which helps to prevent the loss of moisture content from the concrete. So, concrete is properly cured which results the full development of strength of concrete. Types of Concrete Curing Compounds ·          Synthetic Resin Concrete Curing Compound Synthetic resins will seal the concrete by forming membrane. If we want to provide plastering, the membrane can be removed by washing it with hot water. ·          Acrylic Concrete Curing Compound Acrylic is made of polymers of acrylic acid. It also seals the concrete in good manner. It is having property of adhesion to the subsequent plaster. No need to wash the surface of acrylic with hot water if we want to provide plastering. ·      ...

DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION

Good design must not only be safe but must aim to save construction costs, time and materials. The following procedures should help to achieve this and an ‘educated’ client will recognize the importance of funding this work with a realistic fee. 1. DECIDE THE LOCATION OF COLUMNS & FOUNDATION AND TYPE OF LOADS ACTING ON THEM On the building plan, the position of columns and load bearing walls should be marked, and any other induced loading's and bending moments. The loads should be classified into dead, imposed and wind loading's, giving the appropriate partial safety factors for these loads. 2. ESTIMATE ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE OF SOIL USING GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORT From a study of the site ground investigation (if available), the strength of the soil at various depths or strata below foundation level should be studied, to determine the safe bearing capacity at various levels. These values – or presumed bearing values (from any standards or codes) in the...

Parts of a Rock Drill

  Regardless of the industry, all types of rock drills have a standard design that is essentially a combination of replaceable attachments. The most significant parts of a standard rock drill include the following: ·          Drill bit : This is the tip of the rock drill that first makes contact with the ground during a boring operation. ·          Drill stem : This is the long frame that penetrates the ground during boring whose end houses the drill bit. ·          Drill rod : This is the hollow part of the drill stem that connects the motor of the rig to the drill bit. The drill rod is also responsible for transferring the cutting force to the drill bit to enable the rock drill to penetrate into the ground. ·          Carbide bits : These are special types of drill bits used in rotary and percussive drilling ...
