well-printed specimens was a little higher( little larger) at 2350 kg/m3. This was likely because the concrete hopper was gently vibrated before delivery of the fresh concrete‚ and the pipe and pump system also provided a small pressure during extrusion. A similar trend occurred in a previous study on wet-spayed mortars (Austin et al.‚ 2000; Goodier et al.‚ 2008). Although this high performance printing concrete has only a sand aggregate‚ the density is much higher( much larger ) than that of ordinary mortars

Cement Rapid Hardening Portland Cement Rapid Hardening Portland Cement(RHPC) is a special purpose cement used in concrete to achieve a higher rate of early strength development‚ compared to using Normal Cement. The improved early performance of RHPC is achieved principally through increased product fineness. Typical applications of RHPC include precast concrete production‚ concrete masonry‚ urgent repair work and cold weather concreting. Extra Rapid Hardening Cement An extra rapid hardening

Professor‚ Department of Civil Engineering – Paavai Engineering College. ABSTRACT The global usage of cement occupies the second position next to water. As the development of country and infrastructure‚ their materials needed get increased. Meanwhile for the development of the infrastructure concrete plays the major role. In concrete the major material

Ash in Self-Compacting Concrete Coal Bottom Ash has gained a great consideration as an alternative for replacing fine aggregates. Coal Bottom Ash has physical characteristics are same as that of naturally found sand which makes it suitable for replacing sand in concrete. Coal Bottom Ash represents good pozzolanic element reactivity when it comes in contact with finer elements. Many researchers in their research work claimed that the properties of Self-Compacting Concrete comprised of 10% replacement

About Cement:Cement was invented in 1824 by Joaeph Aspdin‚ an English Mason. He named the product as Portland cement as its color resembled to the rock found in Portland‚ a place in England. Concrete is the second most used commodity in the world after water. During 2000-2001‚ it is estimated nearly 1 ton of concrete is used by each person on earth. The production of cement is presently estimated at 2000 Million Tons. The strength of cement when it was invented was about 10 MPa which has Continuously

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE Imagine a footbridge as long as a football field with a platform as thick as your hand. Or a 6’ x 10’ sheet just 1 inch thick that bends as it continues to support a 2‚000 lb car. Working in collaboration with Rhodia and Bouygues‚ Lafarge has developed a whole new family of concretes called Ductal. These concretes have high compressive and flexural strength‚ and their special characteristics enable the achievement of outstanding architectural feats. Ductal concrete incorporates
