ACIPL AT INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ORGANIZED BY INDIAN ROADS CONGRESS NEW DELHI




Organized by Indian Roads Congress in co-operation with Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Govt. of India, PIARC and JICA the “Construction & Rehabilitation of Rigid Pavement—Current Practice & Way Forward” 2-Day Seminar was held from January 18-19, with a technical tour January 20, 2019, at Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. All the stakeholder were invited to attend the two days International Seminar to become partner in road construction.
The Indian Roads Congress (IRC) is the Apex Body of highway engineers & professionals in the country working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, New Delhi. IRC was setup in 1934 and the Engineers working in Central/State Govt. Dept. viz, MoRTH, NHAI, NHIDCL, BRO, MES, NRRDA, CPWD, MoRD, MoUD, State /UT PWDs, PSUs, IITs & Engineering Colleges, Research Organizations, Contractors, Consultants, etc. are members of IRC.
     



Er. Vivek Naik, National President, INDIAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE & Managing Director-Apple Chemie India Pvt. Ltd. Nagpur.  Delivered seminar and a technical talk on “Repair Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Concrete Roads”. He explained various causes of defects defects /distress during the construction and also summarized the factors beyond the control like shrinkage, temperature variations, ASR, impact, accidents and settlements. He further discussed various remedial measures, old techniques and modern techniques of repairs of PQC. Various parameters of products proposed for repairs of PQC and some examples of successful applications were also discussed.
The seminar was attended by dignitaries from Central/State Government Departments/Agencies, Manufactures, Consultant, Public Sector Undertakings, Autonomous Organization, Research/Academic Institutions, Road Sector Project Executing Agencies both from Government and Private Sector.

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...
