    How Did Roman Concrete

    One of the first inventions that the Romans made, was concrete. Concrete was used to be made as a glue like substance for building structures. The Roman concrete was made of lime, seawater and volcanic ash. According to the Article, Building materials and Techniques, on page one and paragraph five, it states that “Sometime in the third century B.C., Roman builders discovered that adding a special kind of of sand to lime, in a ratio of two or…

    Because of many people abusing the welfare system people automatically turn a blind eye to single mothers, but what people fail to realize is that it takes a lot to raise a child. Most people dont understand that on average it cost 94,774 dollars to take care of a child, and thats not including the 86,824$ a parent will spend on a public college. As you can see children are really expensive, and a mother working on a low-wage job isnt enough to take care of a child finacially. Im not saying mothers who work can not provide for their children, because my mother is single parent who provides me with the neciaties that i need and ask for. But what im trying to say is if a mother needs a helping hand, then she can look to welfare as a secondary resource if she truly needs it.…

    Roman Pozzolanic Concrete

    Concrete is a mixture made up of an aggregate, a binding agent and water. Typically the aggregate is gravel, sand or small stones. This is the filler that gives the final product its mass. The binding agent is what causes the mixture to set and harden. When the aggregate and binding agent are combined with water a thick mixture is created that can be poured into a form which then solidifies. In early civilization the binding agent was typically limestone powder or gypsum. The Romans discovered the use of pozzolana as a binding agent (Yegeul, n.d.). Pozzolana is a fine, sandy, volcanic ash which when used as a binding agent creates a strong durable concrete (Wikipedia, 2011, Pozzolana).…

    Factors Affecting Properties of Concrete

    Concrete is a composite product obtained artificially by hardening of mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water in pre-determined proportions. When these ingredients are mixed, they form a plastic mass which can be moulded in desired shape. It gets hardened into hard solid mass. Water is one of the important ingredients of concrete. This is required not only for chemical reaction, but also for curing purposes. The chemical reaction of cement and water, in the mix, is relatively slow and requires time and favorable temperature for its completion. Depending on the quality and proportions of the ingredients used in the mix, the properties of concrete has enough strength in compression, but has little strength in tension. Due to this, concrete as such is weak in bending, shear and torsion. Hence the use of plain concrete is limited to applications where great compressive strength is the main requirement and where tensile stresses are either totally absent or are extremely low.…

    The Feasibility of Mussel Shells Bivalvia Mollusca as Concrete Tiles

    Oyster and mussel shells are non-biodegradable. They pollute the land and water when discarded indiscriminately. Using them as raw materials for concrete tiles could solve the problem of disposal.The procedures and formula in making concrete tiles from marble dusts, chips and white cement were followed for oyster and mussel shells. Ground oyster and mussel shells were mixed separately with white cement on a 1:1 ration. The mixture was compressed on a mold. after drying, the finished products showed acceptable color and texture comparable to commercial concrete tiles.…

    Pvc Handbook

    Generically, filler may be any low cost solid, liquid, or gas which occupies volume in a part and reduces its volume-cost. The flexible PVC industry uses the term “fillers” to refer to inert particulate solids incorporated into formulations for various reasons, including hardening, stiffening, and reduction of volume-cost. Functional fillers are added to improve specific properties. Examples are calcined clays added to wire insulation formulas to raise electrical volume resistivity, fumed silica or bentonite clay added to plastisols to increase their yield value, and hollow microspheres used to lower specific gravity while achieving other desired filler effects. Particulate solids called fillers must not dissolve in the flexible PVC matrix. Since many flexible vinyl products are sold by volume rather than weight, their volume-cost is the dominant economic parameter. For use in volume-cost calculations, the specific gravity of calcite is 2.71; that of true dolomite is 2.85 and that of aragonite is 2.95 The most widely used fillers in flexible and semi-rigid PVC are grades of dry-ground, wetground, or precipitated calcium carbonate derived from limestone or marble, which are predominantly calcite. This is the stable crystal structure of CaCO3 at ordinary temperatures and pressures. Marble consists of small, interlocking crystals of calcite. Calcite is soft, having a Mohs hardness of 3. Therefore, pure calcium carbonate fillers are low in abrasivity to processing equipment. Grades which contain significant fractions of hard silicates are much more abrasive. Recent work carried out in a PE carrier resin confirms this long-accepted fact and shows that coarser grades are more abrasive than fine particle size fillers [36].…

    effect of transit time in RMC and its rectification

    There many things which make the production of on-site concrete aggravating. Bags of cement, sand, aggregate and possibly other additives must be delivered to the construction area. A supply of clean water is also necessary, along with a rented concrete mixing hopper. Even after all the dusty and heavy ingredients have been loaded into the hopper, there may occur the problem of erroneous water-cement ratio. One common solution to this messy and time-consuming problem is “READYMIX CONCRETE”.…

    Eggshells as Hardiflex

    The main ingredient in eggshells is calcium carbonate (the same brittle white stuff that chalk, limestone, cave stalactites, sea shells, coral, and pearls are made of). The shell itself is about 95% CaCO3 (which is also the main ingredient in sea shells). The remaining 5% includes calcium phosphate and magnesium carbonate and soluble and insoluble proteins.…

    Styrofoam and Clam Shells as Tiles

    Clam shells are very abundant in our locality, which are highly valued as delicacy. Clam shells contain calcium carbonate, which indicates that it can be use as a source of calcium oxide (CaO). Only the meat of the clam will be eaten and the shells are thrown away. So the researchers’ wants to determine if dissolved Styrofoam and powdered Clam shells can be a good component in making tiles.…
