Concrete slump test

CHAPTER 3 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE WORK Pervious concrete is a performance engineered structural material which allows virtually all stormwater to immediately drain down through the pavement to the subgrade, eliminating runoff while providing filtration and ground water recharge. When pervious concrete is used for streets, parking areas, plazas and walkways it minimizes storm water runoff to surrounding streams and lakes. Pervious concrete has been documented as eliminating storm water runoff

synthetic fibre reinforced concrete and on recycle aggregate concrete was furnished. 2.1 Studies related to concrete with synthetic fibre reinforcement: Michael L.Albert et.al (2001) experimental program showed that externally applied fibre reinforced polymers is effective in increasing the load-carrying capacity of un-reinforced masonry walls that are subjected to out-of-plane flexural loads. In his experiments ten walls with a height of 4m were used to conduct 13 tests in two series. Both undamaged

explore the benefits of using crusher stone dust in concrete unit to enhancing the properties of concrete like compressive strength, flexural strength, etc replacing cement / fine aggregate by weight or by volume. In the previous investigation, researchers used fiber like polypropylene, nylon polyester, coconut coir, glass fiber, steel fiber etc. for the enhancement of mechanical properties and partial or full replacement of ingredient of concrete by fly ash, stone dust, and unconventional coarse

innumerable contribution to this modern world by many of its latest techniques. Many types of buildings with different technologies are being built all over the world, but construction using the concrete always occupies the top place. In all these constructions, usage of cement is unavoidable as it is the soul of the concrete. But we all know that the cement production has to be reduced due to the emission of carbon dioxide during its manufacture. Hence fly ash can be partially replaced with the cement and

and HDPE. HDPE plastic is manufactured from petroleum and is considerably to be a lot stronger than LDPE plastic. HDPE plastic can also be welded and these plastics are often found in larger plastic items, because of its great strength and durability. One of the first items that HDPE was used to make was the hula hoop. HDPE plastic can be found in tables and chairs, storage sheds, snowboard rails and boxes. Thicker pieces of HDPE plastic are used for plumbing, automotive fittings and storage containers

Part B: Testing of hardened concrete 1. Objectives: The objective of the hardened concrete test was to determine the compressive and indirect tensile strength. On the other hand, this experiment was also used to examine the effect of curing condition on strength of concrete, the influence of specimen shape on compressive strength, the effect of compaction on compressive strength and this experiment was also to examine the effect of increasing water to cement ratio on compressive and in direct

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction of Research Steel-reinforced concrete is a widely used structural material. The effectiveness of the steel reinforcement depends on the bond between the steel reinforcing bar and the concrete. Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which concrete 's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility. The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily

Investigated in ‘Effect of Micro Silica on The Strength of Concrete with Ordinary Portland cement’. The author has observed that the addition of micro silica in concrete reduces the capillary action, absorption and porosity because of fine particles of silica fume. It also decreases the voids in concrete (1). * Amar Devendra Shitole et al.., studied in ‘The Use of Micro-Silica to Improve the Compressive and Flexural Strength of Concrete’. The author has concluded that 7.5% replacement of cement by

4 Base and sub-base Layers The materials used in these layers are graded with sufficient fines and moisture content to enhance their compatibility (Mukabi & Nganga 183). The compaction test is undertaken for each layer to determine if the required density has been achieved. Each pavement should be shaped, compacted, and approved before placement of subsequent materials. The aggregate base acts as the main load-spreading layer and consists of crushed pieces of rock or gravel, and sand fillers. The
