Concrete Construction Methods & Materials

This document discusses various topics related to concrete, including: 1. It describes concrete as a composite material made up of cement, aggregates, and water that binds the aggregates together. Common aggregates used include gravel and sand. 2. It outlines some of the advantages and disadvantages of using concrete, including its compressive strength but weak tensile strength, resistance to fire and water, and ability to be cast into various shapes. 3. It also briefly mentions some key terms related to concrete, such as Portland cement types, curing, bleeding, and granulated cement.

- research work september 25

2 aspects

- methods how to install erect stuff, methodology of beams


- materials

common material
1. concrete
2. masonry
3. steel high rises
4. wood durable diverse , structural, arc fini
concrete masonry can be group into 1 identity

common ar. elements


enclosure , roof, openings (negative areas)

site works , how to prepare site and erection of structural members

concrete
- composite matrial, made up of different material, binding medium , aggregates,
cement and water aggreagates = concrete, water portland cement water binder,
- aggregate solid materials

ASTM standardization , all materials based american society


ASTM int , BPS bureau of standards philippines

- puro = cement paste , palitada,


- cement mortar ,addition of sand , more coursed , acts like a paste, more durable
- masonry mortar
- concrete

gravel large

why need course aggregates , afdd strength , more adaptive,

colosseum , masonry , concrete , more durable, ozolano, volcanic ash,

reinforced concrerte types


- stressed concrete, steel stretched , versatile

advant of concrete
- compressive, shrinks, weak tensile
- resistance of fire and water
- rigid, limited variety of uses
- low maintenance
- very long service life
- most appropriate for substructure, very earth like
- cast into shapes
- local material availability
- local labor availability

disadvant
- very low tensile strength
- fromwork requirement, 30%cost
- shoring and reshoring,
- heavy ex. dead loads
- large inefficient for tall and long span
- control precision,
- shrinkage and creep

density
wood - 500
brick masonry - 2000
structural steel - 7850
concrete - 2400

- hydraulic cement, absorbs water


-

grinding mill
slurry

key terms
phyro processing , process in wjich the slurry and dr.. enters the kiln, 1500 to
produce klinker is the cement but not grounded, clinker gypsum to not solidifize

portland cement types


- additives additional letters

type 5 , high sulfate


28 days maximum strength curing cement
expand molecules

cure, must be well hydrated

air allows enough space to expand

fly ash = coal ash

bleeding = escape of water to concrete

leatens

granulated most used

expansive fill in loss

waterproofing

hydrostatic pressure, steady water


- water table , aquifers goes into this

oi well, resist oil
