concrete engineering

This work aims to study the evolution of resistance of Portland cement pastes and mortars, two mineral additives such as limestone filler and the finely ground slag.

Effects of the addition of two additions to mineral mortars Portland cement paste, were conducted to evaluate the development of strength depending on the age and condition of treatment. This study is a simplified approach to show the contribution of mineral additives on the development of mechanical strength and porosity is obtained using the method of exchange of methanol. In addition, to confirm that this study and is based on laboratory testing stations approximate equations were obtained

In which direction should the main weight of the strengthening of a series of concrete sidewalk?

Steels for concrete pavement is generally in the form of a long e-type. The road is usually the length is usually much longer than its width and, consequently, the cross is covered with broken

in the design. The reinforcement is needed in the longitudinal direction in order to limit the formation of transverse cracks, while the transverse steel to ensure the rigidity of the support acts mesh fabric. Mesh concrete slab over the main burden of the plot should be placed in the critical (ie the longitudinal direction) to control cracking. However, if the concrete road is wide enough, the strengthening of those will be placed in the transverse direction in this

cases to verify the longitudinal cracks.

What is the Marshall mix design for asphalt materials?
Marshall Mix Design Method was originally developed for the Mississippi Highway Department Marshal Bruce in 1939. The idea behind the Marshall method of mix design, selection of an asphalt binder content of the density of the event, which meets at least the stability and range of flow rates.

Marshall method of mix design mainly consists of the following steps:

(I) Determination of physical properties, size and gradation of aggregates.

(Ii) the selection of the types of bituminous binders.

(Iii) Prepare the initial samples, each with different content binder asphalt.

For example, three samples every 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 percent of asphalt in the dry weight of a total of 15 samples. There should be at least two samples above and two below the optimum asphalt content estimated.

(Iv) Draw the following graphs:

() Asphalt binder content vs. density

(B) Asphalt binder content vs. Marshall stability

(C) Asphalt binder content vs. flow

(D) Asphalt binder content vs. air voids

(E) the asphalt binder content vs. holes in the mineral aggregate

(F) content of asphalt vs. empty notebook filled with asphalt

(V) Determine the asphalt binder content for the air voids content of 4 percent

(We) Determine the properties of the optimum asphalt binder content by reference to the graphics. Compare each of these values ​​against the design, and if everyone respects the design so that the optimum asphalt binder content selected is acceptable. Otherwise, the mixture should be rethought.

What is the principle of Design Mix Asphalt?                                                                                                                                    The main objective is to design asphalt mixes with a blend of economic aggregates with asphalt to achieve the following objectives:

(I) to facilitate easy placement of bituminous materials without experiencing segregation;

(Ii) to ensure that adequate stability under load is not carried out on the sidewalk and the distortion of movement;

(Iii) the sustainability of asphalt than enough;

(Iv) sufficient air voids

The design of the asphalt mix, high durability is usually done at the expense of lower stability. Therefore, a balance must be struck between sustainability and stability requirements.

The economy of RCC water tank rests on solid ground vis-à-vis the prestressing of concrete water tanks resting on firm groundWater tanks are used to store water and are designed as structures for cracks, eliminate leaks. In this paper design of two types of water tank on the basis of a circular field is presented. As reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PSC) are considered in the design of alternatives are compared and given the total cost of the tank. These reservoirs are subject to the same capacity and size. As an objective function with the properties of the deposits that are the tank capacity, width and length, etc.

A computer program was developed to solve using standard numerical examples from India. Indian Standard Code 456-2000, SE-3370-I, II, III, IV & IS 1343-1980. The document gives the idea for the design of security with minimal cost of the tank and give the designer of the relationship between design variable and design curves of the tank may be more economical, reliable and simple. The document helps to understand the design philosophy for the design of water tank safely and economically.

Behavioral studies of double-walled hollow steel concrete composite columns                                                                             This book contains an experimental study in eight double-skin concrete filled steel tubular (DSCFT) concentrically positioned around the beam columns filled with self-sealing concrete. Tests of samples was performed by applying an eccentric load. The main parameters of the experimental beam-column were the ratio of slenderness and eccentricity of the load. Test examines the behavior of individual load-deflection effect of childbirth, and the strength of the columns. Experimental observations have shown the load-deflection curves. Several properties such as strength, stiffness, toughness, and troubleshooting are discussed. Against the expected load ratios are good with the deformation of the beam-column test results. DSCFT columns filled with SCC, showing good strength and toughness. Modified equations are proposed to find the maximum compression force DSCFT columns filled with SCC.

The presence of rust have adverse effects on the performance of the rebar obligations?
In fact, the presence of rust in bars may not have adverse impact to the bond performance and it depends on the types of bar reinforcement under consideration.
For plain round bars, the rust on bars improves the bond performance by the formation of rough surfaces which increases the friction between steel and concrete.
However, for deformed bars, the same theory cannot apply. The presence of rust impairs the bond strength because corrosion occurs at the raised ribs and subsequently fills the gap between ribs, thus evening out the original deformed shape. In essence, the bond between concrete and deformed bars originates from the mechanical lock between the raised ribs and concrete. On the contrary, the bond between concrete and plain round bars derives from the adhesion and interface friction. With such differences in mechanism in bonding, the behaviour of bond between deformed bars and plain round bars in the presence of rust varies. Reference is made to CIRIA Report 147.
