During two last decade rapid technological development in concrete have taken place in world.
We are also in rapid developing situation in Nepal.
Concrete have become a major part of construction.
Its importance is increasing day by day. Western and eastern countries have beeen
making concrete of strength. M40, M80, M100 and over too.
Recently Nepal have started using concrete -M25 , M30 and higher one too. I am 23 at now, during these 23
years ,specially in last 10 years, I have seen drastic growth of use of concrete in my side
“DARCHULA” too Which is mountainous district of Nepal.
Currently we have been also in era of special concrete too
example: -ferrocement concrete, - steel fiber reinforcement concrete -polymer concrete -high strength concrete -self compacting concrete -carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP)
In general : An artificially build up stone resulting from hardening of a mixture of cement ,aggregates and water with or without a suitable admixture “Concrete”. In broadest sense : Any product or mass made by the use of cementing medium. Here, medium is product of reaction between hydraulic cement+water
CONCRETE:
Cement + aggregate + water+ admixtures (7-16)% +(75-83)% + (16-18)% = Concrete
CEMENT: Adhesive & cohesive material
Constituents or property of concrete
-Capable of binding together particles into a compact ,durable mass.
Cement= Cao+Sio2 +Al203 +Fe203 +MgO+SiO3+Na2O, K2O+other
OPC ( 33,43,53 grade):- large scale in all general type construction
RHC (Rapid hardening cement)- Not used in mass Concrete Used in road construction RHCE (Extra rapid hardening cement): OPC + Cacl2 (2%) - Road work
Common types and Uses of cement
SRC(Sulphate resisting cement) -Marine condition -Foundation sewage treatment plant
QSC(Quick setting cement) -Underground water construction -Al204+Cacl2+OPC
Blast furnace cement: -Used in mass concrete -blast slag + OPC
Super sulphate cement: -Marine works Low Heat Cement-C2S is more Expansive cement : -Used in grouting anchor bolts High strength cement-Compressive strength higher then the OPC Resident cement : -Very cold area /winter season Patch repairs, Emergency repairs
Typesi)Based on Origin a. Naturalb. Artificialii. Based on sizec. Fined. Coarsee. All in aggregate
Aggregates
iv) Based on shapea. Round (void 33%)b. Irregular( void 35-37%)c. Angular ( void 38-45%)d. Flaky (>0.6d)e. Elongated (>1.8 L)v). Based on unit weight f. Light(1200-2300 kg/m3)g. Normal(2300-2600 kg/m3)h. Heavy (more than 2600 kg/m3)
vi) Based on surface moisture
a. Very very dry (porosity =0)b. Dry aggregate (pore water partly fill and surface dry)c. Saturated surface dry (pore fully water filled)d. Wet or moist (pore full water +surface water also)
-Pure as drinking water -PH value (6 -8)-vital influence in strength-should not contain Na,K,Mg,etc.-in Nepal it is not given well care towards water-water in Terai contains chemicals which are harmful to
concrete
WATER
-Substance other than the basic ingredients -To improve certain properties like rate of hydration,
workability,durability,impermeablility. Types (Commonly used in Nepal)
A. Accelerator (to gain early strength)Example: CaCl2 ,Na2No3, Na2So4, NaoH B. Retarders (slow down chemical process)Example:Gypsum (CaSO42H2O)
Admixture
C. Water proofer (to proof water) Example: vegetable oil , fat, tar
D. Air entraining agent -To increase workability -To reduce bleeding & segregation effect
E. Pigment mixture - Mn,C,Cr203,Fe203
-for colour purpose.

Grade
Concrete Mix
Types of Construction
1 M10 1:3:6 Mass concrete piers, abutment , massive RCC (currently rarely used)
2 M15 1:2:4 Normal RCC Slab , Beam, Column, Wall ,small span arches
3 M20 1:1.5:3 Water retaining StructureReservoirs, column & pile
4 M25 1:1:2 Long span arches ,highly loaded column
5 M30 ----- Mass concrete foundation
6 M35 ---- Post tension pre-stressed concrete
7 M40 ------ Pre tension pre-stress concrete
Processes are as followa) Storing of cement and aggregateb) batching ( ingridient measurement) - volume batching ,…weight batchingc) Mixing
Manufacturing of Concrete
1. Hand mixing concrete
- Can not proper mixing- Only small amount mix- Traditional system- Strength can not get proper- Commonly used in small projects in rural areas.
Method of mixing of concrete inNepal
-Proper mixing-Large amount concrete can be formed-Small time consume-High strength gain-currently use in Nepal
2.Mixture mixing Concrete
-Computerized method-Minimum time consume-Modern method-Strength proper maintain-but coastly-also adopted in Nepal in Some special projects
3.Ready mixing Concrete
d) Transportation i) pan transportation ii) wheel barrow iii) bucket and ropeway iv) Belt conveyer v) Truck mixer and damper vi) Pump and pipeline dischargee) Placing layer=15-30 cm =35-45 cm in mass work height of pouring<1.5 m
F) compaction:-5% air bubble reduces 30% strength of concrete-10% bubble reduces 50% strength of concrete i) hand compaction ramming , Tamping , Hammeringii) Mechanical compaction(vibrator) internal vibrator( beam, column, slab , retain wall)Table vibrator( pre cast unit)External vibrator(through formwork)Surface vibrator(slab , road , bridge)Pan vibrator…… small repairs,concrete floor
Vibrator placing
g) curing: - to make compacted concrete wet - to gain maximum strength Water curing Membrane curing Heat apply (steam using) Chemical curing
CaCl2, NaCl …
to absorb water
Segregation control on bucket filling
Various test on Concrete
a. Workability Test (slum test, compaction test)b. Bleeding & Segregation testc. Air content testd. Compressive strength test -Cube test -Cylindrical teste. Tensile strength test
1. Normal concrete All civil Constructione.g residential , public , commerical buildings Mass constructionExample: Dams,Reservoi
CONCRETE USED IN NEPAL
Mass Construction Example:-
Dams,Reservoirs,Bridges,Barrage,Weirs,Canal Road ,Retaining wall
Dam of middle Marsyngdi HP
Intake of middle marshyandi HPP
SETTLING BASIN OF SIKTA IP
Large Span bridge Compressive strength(1100-6700 kg/cm2)
2.High Strength concrete
- Used in Rail way steeper - Liquid storage tank - Heavy bridge girder
We are waiting till now to prestrength concrete
