1.1.1.1 Chemical Compositions. Four main compounds make up Portland cement. They include tetra-calcium aluminoferrites (4CaO·Al 2 O 3 Fe 2 O 3), tricalcium aluminates (3CaO·Al 2 O 3), dicalcium silicates (2CaO·SiO 2), and tricalcium silicates (3CaO·SiO 2) (Demis et al. 2014).These compounds are abbreviated as C 3 S, C 2 S, C …
Concrete is characterized by the type of aggregate or cement used, by the specific qualities it manifests, or by the methods used to produce it. In ordinary structural concrete, the character of the concrete is largely determined by a water-to-cement ratio. The lower the water content, all else being equal, the stronger the concrete.
Reinforced concrete structures are structures composed of concrete and steel bars. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. Generally, the tensile strength of concrete is only 1/10 of its compressive strength. However, steel is strong in both tension and compression. So it is natural to combine the two

(2.5) In equation (2.5), k is a proportionality factor that is a function of the material and the temperature, A is the cross-sectional area and L is the length of the bar. In the limit for any temperature difference ∆T across a length ∆x as both L, T A - T B → 0, we can say dx dT kA L T T kA
Lime concrete is more workable than cement concrete. Lime concrete has a lower heat of hydration, which makes it suitable for mass concrete works. Lime concrete has good resistance to fire. Lime concrete has good resistance to sulfate attack. Disadvantages of Lime Concrete. Lime concrete has a lower strength than cement concrete.
Understanding the fundamentals of concrete is necessary to produce quality concrete. This publication covers the materials used in concrete and the essentials required to design and control concrete mixtures for a wide variety of structures. Figure 1-1.

In this article, we will discuss concrete batching plants. 1. Introduction Batching plant is a machine for the preparation of concrete by using various ingredients. A concrete batching plant also known as a batch plant or batching plant or a concrete plant, is equipment that mixes with various ingredients to prepare concrete containing […]
Subsequently, the waste concrete goes through different crushing processes to acquire desirable grading of recycled aggregate. Firstly, the large concrete blocks are broken into pieces using impact crusher and also done manually by hammer. The smaller concrete blocks are then carried by the poclain machine to the hopper with …
