FRESH CONCRETE
It is a concrete that has not reached the final setting time.
Fresh concrete has several important properties from mixing until it hardens in its final location. Its workability, defined as the effort to manipulate it with minimum segregation, depends on factors like water-cement ratio, aggregate properties, time, temperature, and cement characteristics. Workability is measured using tests like slump and Vebe, which assess consistency. Segregation and bleeding can occur if heavier particles separate from the paste or water rises to the surface, and are reduced by proper mix design and placement. Compaction is important to remove air bubbles while the concrete is still plastic.
This document discusses various topics related to fresh and hardened concrete including:
- Workability of fresh concrete and factors that affect it. Common tests to measure workability include slump, compacting factor, flow, and Vee Bee tests.

The results were then analyzed to assess the impact of fly ash and silica fume additions on the properties of self-compacting concrete.
IRJET- Experimental Investigation on Light Weight Brick with Foaming Agent IRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental investigation on producing lightweight bricks using fly ash, cement, and a foaming agent. Three mix ratios of fly ash, cement, and foaming agent were tested: 50:45:5, 50:40:10, and 50:35:15. The bricks were cured for 7, 14, and 21 days and then tested for crushing strength and water absorption. Test results found that as the amount of foaming agent increased from 5% to 15%, the crushing strength and water absorption improved. For example, at 21 days the 50:35:15 mix achieved a crushing strength of 6.95 N/mm2 and water absorption of 6.09%, outperforming conventional clay bricks.

The design of Farm cart 0011 report 1 2020musadoto
This report describes the best designing of a 200cc FARM CART MACHINE which will be useful to the farm fields due to the fact that, the purchase, repair and maintenance are affordable to all level of income earners. Despite the cost effectiveness of the machine, the report also tries to justify that the machine can be used multipurposely as it serves the purposes of been used as farm transport, mowering machine, boom spraying and or mini planter with two rows. All these can be achieved as long as the implements are attached with respect to the power capacity of the farm cart.
The report tells only the design and testing of machine excluding its farm implements design. Some best reviews from other study projects done by other people in the world provided a good reference for designing and implementation of this project. The project is initially costly because it needs to develop a prototype and test the different first ideas.
The project report describes the important of choosing to use the designed farm cart machine compared to other farm machines at the market which are most efficiently to be used by farmers in their fields.
The challenges are inevitable in any project, here in designing of this 200cc farm machine, the major issue is the funding because the fund for this project is from the pocket which is always insufficient as it depends to the meals and accommodation money distribution sponsored from the HIGH EDUCATION STUDENTS LOAN BOARD (HESLB) thus it takes longer to accomplish the project by waiting another quarter of the semester to continue with the project which affects the other part of normal life(in terms of meals and accommodation).
The report recommends that, the department of engineering sciences and technology and Sokoine University of Agriculture as a whole should invest into this technology by utilizing fully the idea and funding the project for more better improvement so as to attain the desired standard that can with stand the different farm field factors. These when taken into consideration there is a possibility to achieve the industrialization policy in our country and thereafter it is a better approach to modern agriculture.

Hardeninig of steel (Jominy test)-CoET- udsmmusadoto
The document describes a Jominy end-quench test experiment to measure the hardenability of two steel samples. Steel samples A and C were heated to the austenite temperature and quenched with water at one end. Hardness measurements using the Rockwell C scale were taken at intervals along the samples. Sample A showed little variation in hardness, while hardness decreased with distance from the quenched end for sample C. A graph of hardness versus distance revealed that sample A has higher hardenability, retaining hardness further from the quenched end. The hardenability indices at 50HRC were determined to be 2mm, 5mm, and 6.5mm from the graph.
1.1 The aim of the experiment
The aim of the experiment is to test the usefulness of the ultrasonic waves, by passing them through different
solids one can find out a lot of physical properties like young’s modulus , defects, Poisson ratio, Velocity of
sound in respective material this is due to the response of the received ultrasonic waves.
1.2 Theory of experiment
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a family of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested. In most common UT applications, very short ultrasonic pulse-waves with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15 MHz, and occasionally up to 50 MHz, are transmitted into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials. A common example is ultrasonic thickness measurement, which tests the thickness of the test object, for example, to monitor pipework corrosion.
Ultrasonic testing is often performed on steel and other metals and alloys, though it can also be used on concrete, wood and composites, albeit with less resolution. It is used in many industries including steel and aluminium construction, metallurgy, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and other transportation sectors.

DIESEL ENGINE POWER REPORT -AE 215 -SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI engine), named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel which is injected into the combustion chamber is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression (adiabatic compression). Diesel engines work by compressing only the air. This increases the air temperature inside the cylinder to such a high degree that atomised diesel fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to petrol), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. In diesel engines, glow plugs (combustion chamber pre-warmers) may be used to aid starting in cold weather, or when the engine uses a lower compression-ratio, or both. The original diesel engine operates on the "constant pressure" cycle of gradual combustion and produces no audible knock.
A diesel engine built by MAN AG in 1906
Detroit Diesel timing
Fairbanks Morse model 32
The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency (engine efficiency) of any practical internal or external combustion engine due to its very high expansion ratio and inherent lean burn which enables heat dissipation by the excess air. A small efficiency loss is also avoided compared to two-stroke non-direct-injection gasoline engines since unburned fuel is not present at valve overlap and therefore no fuel goes directly from the intake/injection to the exhaust. Low-speed diesel engines (as used in ships and other applications where overall engine weight is relatively unimportant) can have a thermal efficiency that exceeds 50%.[1][2

ENGINE POWER PETROL REPORT-AE 215-SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
What is an Engine?
Before knowing about how the Petrol Engine works, let's first understand what an engine is. This is common for both petrol and diesel engines alike. An engine is a power generating machine which converts potential energy of the fuel into heat energy and then into motion. It produces power and also runs on its own power.
The engine generates its power by burning the fuel in a self-regulated and controlled „Combustion‟ process. The combustion process involves many sub-processes which burn the fuel efficiently and results in the smooth running of the engine.
These processes include:
The suction of air (also known as breathing or aspiration).
Mixing of the fuel with air after breaking the liquid fuel into highly atomized / mist form.
Igniting the air-fuel mixture with a spark (petrol engine).
Burning of highly atomized fuel particles which results in releasing / ejection of heat energy.
How does an Engine work?
The engine converts Heat Energy into Kinetic Energy in the form of „Reciprocating Motion‟. The expansion of heated gases and their forces act on the engine pistons. The gases push the pistons downwards which results in reciprocating motion of pistons.
This motion of the piston enables the crank-shaft to rotate. Thus, it finally converts the reciprocating motion into the 'Rotary motion' and passes on to wheels.
A petrol engine (known as a gasoline engine in American English) is an internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
In most petrol engines, the fuel and air are usually mixed after compression (although some modern petrol engines now use cylinder-direct petrol injection). The pre-mixing was formerly done in a carburetor, but now it is done by electronically controlled fuel injection, except in small engines where the cost/complication of electronics does not justify the added engine efficiency. The process differs from a diesel engine in the method of mixing the fuel and air, and in using spark plugs to initiate the combustion process. In a diesel engine, only air is compressed
TRACTOR POWER REPORT -AE 215 SOURCES OF FARM POWER 2018musadoto
A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements 0may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
The word Tractor is derived prior to 1900, the Machine were known as traction motor (pulling-machine).After the year 1900 both the words are joined by taking ‘Tract’ from Traction and ‘Tor” from motor calling it a Tractor.
In our Country tractors were started manufacturing in real sense after independence and at present we are self-sufficient in meeting demand of country’s requirement for tractors. Our country is basically an agricultural country where 75% of our population is directly or indirectly connected with agriculture. This cannot be produced with our conventional bullock pulled agricultural implements. Tractor is one of the basic agricultural machines
used for speeding up agriculture production.
WIND ENERGY REPORT AE 215- 2018 SOURCES OF FARM POWERmusadoto
Wind is the flow of gases on large scale. On the surface of the earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases and charged particles from the sun though space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical from a planet’s atmosphere into space. Wind by their spatial scale, their speed, the type of force that cause them, the region in which they occur and their effect. The strongest observed winds on planet in solar system occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspects, an important one being its velocity, density of the gas involved and energy content of the wind.
Wind is almost entirely caused by the effects of the sun which, each hour, delivers 175 million watts of energy to the earth. This energy heats the planet’s surface, most intensively at the equator, which causes air to rise. This rising air creates an area of low pressure at the surface into which cooler air is sucked, and it is this flow of air that we know as “wind”. In reality atmospheric circulation is much more complicated and, after rising at the equator air travels pole wards. As it travels the air cools and eventually descends to the earth’s surface at about 30° latitude (north and south), from where it returns once again to the equator (a closed loop known as a Hadley Cell). Similar cells exist between 30° and 60° latitude (the Ferrell Cells) and between 60° latitude and each of the poles (the Polar Cells). Within these cells, the flow of air is further impacted by the rotation of the earth or the "Coriolis Effect". This effect creates a sideways force which causes air to circulate anticlockwise around areas of low pressure in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere
In summary, the origin of winds may be traced basically to uneven heating of the earth’s surface due to sun. This may lead to circulation of widespread winds on a global basis, producing planetary winds or may have a limited influence in a smaller area to cause local winds.
Water power or Hydropower is power derived from the energy of free falling water which may
be harnessed for useful purposes. Hydroelectricity is the term referring to electricity generated
by hydropower which implies the production of electrical power through the use of the
gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable
energy, accounting for 16 percent of global electricity generation..The cost of hydroelectricity is
relatively low, making it a competitive source of renewable electricity. The average cost of
electricity from a hydro plant larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatthour.
Hydro is also a flexible source of electricity since plants can be ramped up and down very
quickly to adapt to changing energy demands. However, damming interrupts the flow of rivers
and can harm local ecosystems, and building large dams and reservoirs often involves displacing
people and wildlife. Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project produces no direct
waste, and has a considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2)
than fossil fuel powered energy plants.
Solar energy is a renewable energy, therefore have the following advantages
1. Once solar panels are installed, they produce energy without generating waste or pollution. They operate with little maintenance or intervention.
2. Solar electric generation is economically competitive where grid connection or fuel transport is difficult, costly or impossible. For example: satellites, island communities, remote locations and ocean vessels.
3. Once the initial capital cost of building a solar power plant has been met, operating costs are low when compared to other existing power technologies.

4. FRESH CONCRETE
General introduction
CONCRETE
is a building Material made from a
mixture of gravel ,sand ,cement,water
and air ,forming a stone like mass on
hardenning.
FRESH CONCRETE
It is a concrete that has not reached
the final setting time.
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 4
6. The strength of concrete of a given mix
proportions is very seriously affected by
the degree of its compaction;
it is vital, that the consistency (ability
to flow) of the mix be such that, the
concrete can be transported, placed and
finished sufficiently easily and without
segregation.
The first 48 hours are very important for
the performance of the concrete structure.
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 6
8. 1. WORKABILITY
The amount of useful internal work necessary to
produce full compaction without occurrence of the
known concrete problems.
The useful internal work is the work or energy
required to overcome the internal friction between the
individual particles in the concrete.
Factors affecting workability
1. Water content of the mix: Adding water increases
workability and decreases strength.
2. Maximum size of aggregate: Less surface area to be
wetted and more water in medium.
3. Grading of aggregate: Poor grading reduces the
consistency.
4. Shape and texture of aggregates: Smooth surfaces give
better workability.
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 8
9. Measurement of Workability
There are 5 types of test, which can measure workability
indirectly. Unfortunately, there are no accepted tests,
which can measure directly the workability.
1. Slump Test: Gives good results for rich mixes.
2. Compacting Factor Test: Used for low workable concretes.
3. Flow Table Test: Used for high workable concretes.
4. VeBe Test: Used for low workable concretes (fiber
reinforced concrete).
5. Kelly Ball Test: It is practical in field test.

10. 2.Slump loss
• Slump describes the consistency of
fluidity of a concrete mixture.
• Slump loss is the reduction in slump
from the time of original batching to
the point when concrete is discharged
from a mixture track or other delivery
vehicle
• Slump value represents the workability
property of concrete.
• Slump should be achieved within delivery
time range of 45- 90 min
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 10
11. Why is controlling slump loss
important?
Slump is an important consideration for
the contractor as it impacts the ability
to place, consolidate and finish
concrete
The rate of slump loss should be
predictable so that loads of concrete
arrive the jobsite at a consistency
slump.
Excess water causes problems with
strength and potential cracking.
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 11
12. How can the slump loss be controlled?
It is important to understand the concrete material
used and how the fresh concrete properties are
affected by ambient conditions when it is delivered
and placed.
The following is a list of controllable factors that
influence slump loss:
1. Use the correct amount of mixing water needed to
archive the specified slump within tolerances at the
job site with consideration temperature and delivery
time.
2. Maintain aggregate stockpiles through stock rotation
and proper loading procedures to archive consistent
gradation and moisture content of aggregates being
batched .
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 12
13. 3. Segregation/Bleeding
Segregation is the “Separation of constituent
materials in concrete.”
In concrete technology, segregation is of three
type
1. Separation of Coarse aggregate from the
concrete mixture,
2. Separation of Cement paste from the
concrete during its plastic stage.
3. Separation of water from the concrete mix
(Bleeding in concrete)
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 13
15. FRESH CONCRETE
Factors causing segregation in concrete:-
• Transporting concrete mixes for long distances.
• Poorly proportioned mix, where sufficient
matrix is not there to bind the aggregates
• Dropping concrete from more than 1m.
• Vibrating concrete for a long time.
How to minimize segregation in concrete:-
1. Segregation can be controlled by maintaining
proper proportioning the mix.
2. by peculiar handling, placing, transporting,
compacting and finishing,
3. By Using air entraining agents, admixtures and
pozzolanic materials in the mix segregation
controlled to some extent.Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 15
16. Bleeding in concrete
Bleeding is a form of segregation in which
water present in the concrete mix is pushed
upwards due to the settlement of cement and
aggregate. The specific gravity of water is
low, due to this water tends to move upwards.
Bleeding ordinarily occurs in the wet mix of
concrete.
The bleeding in concrete is not harmful if
the rate of evaporation of water is equal to
the rate of bleeding. Normal bleeding is
quite good, and it enhances the workability
of concrete.
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 16
18. FRESH CONCRETE
How bleeding affects concrete stability:-
Formation of laitance in concrete, structures may lose
its wearing capacity and decreases its life.
Forming of water at the top surface of concrete, results
in delaying the surface finishing.
Concrete becomes permeable and loses its homogeneity.
Excessive bleeding breaks the bond between the
reinforcement and concrete.
How the bleeding in concrete is controlled:-
Bleeding in concrete is controlled by Adding minimum
water content in the concrete mix.
Encouraging the use of air en-training admixtures in the
mix.
By adding more cement in the mix.
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 18
19. 4. Plastic shrinkage
Plastic shrinkage is mainly a problem
with large exposed surfaces like floor
slabs and paving placed in
environmental conditions with a high
evaporation rate. The faster water
evaporates from the concrete
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically
occur on horizontal surfaces exposed to
the atmosphere
FRESH CONCRETE
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 19
21. FRESH CONCRETE
There are several corrective procedures listed below to
reduce the risk of experiencing plastic shrinkage cracks.
Moisten subgrades and forms to prevent absorption.
Dampen dry aggregates that are absorptive.
Reduce the temperature of the concrete by
Precooling aggregate with water.
Cooling the cement.
Shading aggregates, water tanks, and lines.
Avoid over mixing.
Place concrete early in the morning or late
afternoon.
Construct temporary walls to reduce wind velocity.
Provide sunshades for concrete.
Use evaporation retardant (usually polymers).
Sunday, May 27, 2018 IWRE 2 - GROUP 5 21
23. 6. Time of set
Changing the concrete state from
plastic to hardened state is called
setting of concrete.
The time concrete takes to change
the state is the setting time.
Setting time depend upon
the properties of cement.
To increase or decrease the setting
time admixtures can use in concrete
mix.

mm slump are used for Roads vibrated by power or
hand operated machines.
Concrete with high workability are used in
sections with congested reinforcement where
vibration cannot easily be done

32. Admixture
• Admixtures are those ingredients
in concrete other than portland
cement, water, and aggregates that
are added to the mixture
immediately before or during
mixing

33. Admixtures can be classified by function as
follows:
1. Air-entraining admixtures
2. Water-reducing admixtures
3. Plasticizers
4. Accelerating admixtures
5. Retarding admixtures
6. Hydration-control admixtures
7. Corrosion inhibitors
8. Shrinkage reducers
9. Alkali-silica reactivity inhibitors
10. Coloring admixtures
11. Miscellaneous admixtures such as workability,
bonding, damp proofing, permeability
reducing, grouting, gas-forming, antiwashout,
foaming, and pumping admixtures

34. Air-entraining admixtures
Air-entraining admixtures are used to purposely
introduce and stabilize microscopic air bubbles in
concrete. Air entrainment will dramatically improve
the durability of concrete exposed to cycles of
freezing and thawing.
Entrained air greatly improves concrete’s resistance
to surface scaling caused by chemical deicers.
Furthermore, the workability of fresh concrete is
improved significantly, and segregation and bleeding
are reduced or eliminated.
Air-entrained concrete contains minute air bubbles
that are distributed uniformly throughout the cement
paste. Entrained air can be produced in concrete by
use of an air-entraining cement, by introduction of
an air entraining admixture, or by a combination of
both methods.

35. water-reducing admixtures
Water-reducing admixtures are used to reduce the
quantity of mixing water required to produce
concrete of a certain slump, reduce water-cement
ratio, reduce cement content, or increase slump.
Typical water reducers reduce the water content by
approximately 5% to 10%. Adding a water-reducing
admixture to concrete without reducing the water
content can produce a mixture with a higher slump.
The rate of slump loss, however, is not reduced
and in most cases is increased Rapid slump loss
results in reduced workability and less time to
place concrete.
An increase in strength is generally obtained with
water-reducing admixtures as the water-cement
ratio is cracks in concrete.

36. Hardened concrete
Properties:
• Very Hard (15 – 40 kN/m2)
• Water resistant
• Weather resistant
• High grade concrete is resistant to
abrasion (e.g. by high water flows on
bridge piers)
• Resistant to impact loads (e.g. on roads
• Thermal insulation
• Prevents corrosion
