GREEN SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION




ACIPL SUSTAINAIBLE CONSTRUCTION CHEMICALS

Construction chemicals account for 2%-5% of the project cost. But the benefits far more outreach the total cost. Construction chemicals increases the life of construction work and impart additional protection from environmental hazards, also help in minimizing the quantities of cement and water used in the construction. They are also essential for high quality concrete and for promoting the improvement of concrete performance. Based on end use applications, these compounds can be broadly classified into five categories as Admixtures, waterproofing, flooring compounds, repair and rehabilitation, miscellaneous. The changing regulatory environment: Compulsory usage of Ready-Mix Concrete in Metros like Mumbai, Bangalore etc. is a key regulatory change. Similar regulations in Tier-I & other cities would be a key driver in increasing the usage of construction Chemicals.
Apple Chemie India Pvt. Ltd. an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, has been awarded "Product Innovator of the Year" in the field of Construction Chemicals for its patented ViscoFlux Technology by INDIA CHEM Gujarat 2015 Expo, held at Gandhinagar on 28th October 2015, FICCI (Govt of India). With further striving we have our own green building products which our stringently designed for smart city projects.


There are also few solutions from the chemical industry that can bring significant energy savings: Reflective indoor coatings, High reflectance and durable outdoor coating, Phase Change Materials (PCM), New insulation foams, Other insulation modules.
Governments initiative to build 100 smart cities will require materials with high performance levels. This will require advanced construction chemicals. With innovation and further research going on in this field a coating has been developed which provide high reflectance and durability both for outdoor and indoor premises, these coatings optimize the use of natural and artificial light, thus maintaining cool temperature inside and reduces energy heating and cooling costs. With the development of smart cities project in India, this innovation could improve the quality and sustainability of the project. India loses INR 2 trillion (USD 40 billion) which is roughly about 4% of our national GDP every year due to corrosion of infrastructure, industrial equipment and other vital installations, according to last estimates from of CII. In addition to causing severe damage and threat to public safety, corrosion disrupts operations and requires extensive repair and replacement of failed assets. This is likely the single biggest opportunity to save costs due to corrosion and enhance the life cycle and sustainability of civil structures.

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...
