Module-1 Concrete Ingredients Cement
Concrete Ingredients Cement –
Cement manufacturing process, steps to reduce carbon footprint, chal composition and their importance, hydration of cement, types of cement. Testing of cement. Fine aggregate: Functions, requirement, Alternatives to River sand, M-sand introduction and manufacturing. Coarse aggregate: Importance of size, shape and texture. Grading and blending of aggregate. Testing on aggregate, requirement. Recycled aggregates Water – qualities of water. Chal admixtures – plasticize-rs, accelerators, retarders and air entertaining agents. Mineral admixtures – Pozzolanic and cementitious materials, Fly ash, GGBS, silica fumes, Meta kaolin and rice husk-ash.
2. Module-2 Fresh Concrete Workability
Fresh Concrete Workability-
factors affecting work ability. Measurement of work ability-slump, Compaction factor and Vee-Bee Consistometer tests, flow tests. Segregation and bleeding. Process of manufacturing of concrete- Batching, Mixing, Transporting, Placing and Compaction. Curing – Methods of curing – Water curing, membrane curing, steam curing, accelerated curing, self- curing. Good and Bad practices of making and using fresh concrete and Effect of heat of hydration during mass concreting at project sites.
