Self Compacting Concrete


http://www.applechemie.com

For secondary concreting work, it has been used at many project all over India Apple Chemie specializes in Mix design of SCC. We provide excellent technical services. All you need to do is to send aggregates/ cement to our laboratory and we will design SCC to match your site requirement. We shall provide Cost Analysis/Rate Analysis for the new item of work Apple Chemie has a special laboratory to design SCC for Gosikhurd project, Purna Project, Lower Wardha Project and many other places.

Self Compacting Concrete Benefits
Using self-compacting concrete produce several benefits and advantages over regular concrete. Some of those benefits are:

·         Improved constructability.
·         Labor reduction.
·         Bond to reinforcing steel.
·         Improved structural Integrity.
·         Accelerates project schedules.
·         Reduces skilled labor.
·         Flows into complex forms.
·         Reduces equipment wear.
·         Minimizes voids on highly reinforced areas.
·         Produces superior surface finishes.
·         Superior strength and durability.
·         Allows for easier pumping procedure.
·         Fast placement without vibration or mechanical consolidation.
·         Lowering noise levels produced by mechanical vibrators.
·         Produces a uniform surface.
·         Allows for innovative architectural features.
·         It is recommended for deep sections or long-span applications.
·         Produces a wider variety of placement techniques.

Factors Affecting Self Compacting Concrete
Using self-compacting concrete must not be used indiscriminately. These factors can affect the behavior and performance of self-compacting concrete:

·         Hot weather.
·         Long haul distances can reduce flowability of self-compacting concrete.
·         Delays on job site could affect the concrete mix design performance.
·         Job site water addition to Self-Compacting Concrete may not always yield the expected increase in flowability and could cause stability problems.

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. ·      ...

Materials are used for road construction

Image
Road consist of basically 4 layers: Sub-grade: The sub-grade material should be clean and free from organic matter and should be able to be compacted by roller, to form stable sub-base. The material should have the following characteristics: ·          Well graded, uniformity coefficient (D60/D10) should not be less than 3. ·          Fraction passing sieve #200 shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the fraction passing sieve #40. ·          Should have a L.L not greater than 25%. ·          P.I not greater than 6 ·          CBR should not be less than 25. ·          In coarse grain, aggregate retained by #10 sieve, %age of wear shall not be greater than 5%. ·          The maximum dia...

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...
