CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND TECHNOLOGY READY MIX CONCRETE SUBMITTED TO: SUBMITTED BY: PROF. SACHIN JAIN SONABH DHARIWAL VARUN GOEL [pic] INTRODUCTION: Ready-mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant‚ according to a set recipe‚ and then delivered to a worksite‚ by truck mounted transit mixers. This results in a precise mixture‚ allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction

Designing & Delivering On-the-Job Training Design Steps The quality of any training effort is based largely on whether it is thought through and planned before any action is taken. A simple five step process‚ representing the basic instructional design principles‚ can help ensure success. Training Location Leaders are expected to have a basic knowledge of these steps and apply them to the training activities they conduct. This does not mean that each time you conduct OJT with an employee some formal

1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is a widely used building material‚ many concrete pavements such as bridge deck‚ highway pavements and airfield runways are constructed all over the world‚ due to its superior properties such as high strength‚ good stability‚ abrasion resistance and anti-slippage. However‚ concrete is a poor electrical conductor‚ especially under dry conditions. Concrete that is excellent in both mechanical and electrical conductivity properties may have important applications in the electrical

placed between the two BS 5400 results‚ or close to the lower values. The Eurocode 2 results were usually reasonably close to the mean of the other results. The CEB-FIP-1990 results were consistently the lowest for high steel stresses and high concrete cover values. Results with varying spacing were close to Eurocode 2 results. The ACI 318 results were consistently the highest‚ being close to and

Engineering B45 Concrete Lab Report Introduction: Concrete is a mixture of sand and rock or similar inert material (aggregates) held together by a cementing material. Usually the cementing material is Portland cement‚ but sometimes binders such as asphalt or gypsum are used‚ in which case the concrete may be called asphaltic concrete or gypsum concrete. Properties of concrete are governed not only by the properties of its ingredients (cement‚ water‚ sand‚ and coarse aggregate) but also‚ to a great

introduction of concrete as a construction medium and the true arch as a structural component made it possible for the Romans to build strong‚ elaborate‚ expansive structures that would endure the test of time. Concrete Roman concrete‚ called opus caementicium‚ was made by mixing traditional lime mortar with stone aggregate called caementa. This material used less water and was very thick compared to modern concrete; therefore it was laid rather than poured (Roman Architecture‚ n.d.). Concrete was an important
