Partial Replacement of Cement by Saw Dust Ash in Concrete A Sustainable ApproachIJERD Editor
Concrete industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources due to which sustainability of concrete industry is under threat. The environmental and economic concern is the biggest challenge concrete industry is facing. In this paper, the issues of environmental and economic concern are addressed by the use of saw dust ash as partial replacement of cement in concrete. Cement was replaced by Saw Dust Ash as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight for M-25 mix. The concrete specimens were tested for compressive strength, durability (water absorption) and density at 28 days of age and the results obtained were compared with those of normal concrete. The results concluded the permissibility of using Saw Dust Ash as partial replacement of cement up to 10% by weight for particle size of range 90micron.

Different types of insulation materialsinsulation4us
A crawl space installed under the house can make the home colder in the winter than a house built on a concrete slab. Mold and mildew are the common problems in a crawl space, so you need to guard your home against that as well. In order to keep the floors warmer and prevent mold and mildew from growing in the crawl space, requires installation of crawl space insulation. The insulation seals out drafts and prevents warm air from escaping out through the space. It is an efficient way to deal with the part of the house that is prone to dampness.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Inoduction To Construction Materials
1. Course101 : Construction materials
LECTURE NO.1
INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Construction materials
2. INTRODUCTION
Any material which is used in construction of any structure is
known as construction material.
The choice of material depends on :
the size and nature of structure,
its design,
intended purposes,
availability of resources
location.
Usually construction materials are classified as
natural
synthetic materials
3. CONT..,
Materials used in the construction:
- Rock materials
- Binder materials
- Concrete materials
- Ceramic materials
- Other materials
4. BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS
Rock :
one of the most solid and durable material used in
constructions,
Rock is a very dense material so it gives a lot of protection
too.
Dry-stone walls have been built for as long as humans have
put one stone on top of another.
Mostly Stone buildings can be seen in most major cities,
some civilizations built entirely with stone.
5. COMPACT ROCKS
Stone blocks of Limestone,
Marble, Granite, Slate, etc.
Cutted in square shape.
Medium size without
cutting.
STONY MATERIALS (I)
In walls… In pavimentation…
6. DISINTEGRATED ROCKS
Variable size
Fragments.
STONY MATERIALS (II)
Clay Aggregate
Fragments from the action of
break down of other rocks. They
can be thin or thick.
Very little rock grains,
chactericed by their property of
absorbing water.
7. AGGREGATE
Collective term for sand, gravel and crushed stone mineral
materials in their natural or processed state
Roads and highways constitute the largest single use of aggregate
at 40 percent of the total
8. •When they’re mixed
with water, they become
doughty.
•When they dry, they
become strong.
It’s obtained from the heating of limestone.
It’s used to paint walls or make bricks.
Powdered mineral used to cover walls and ceilings.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS (I)
9. •.
•The most used type of cement is Pórtland. I’t a
mixture of lime and clay, from which we obtain clínKer,
then it’s pulverized and it becomes cement.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS (II)
Cement
•1-Quarry
•2-Crushing
•3-Prime matters
•4-Grinding of materials
•5-Homogenization
•6-Heat interchange
•7-Oven/ Cooler/ Clínker
•8-Additions/ Grinding
Elaboration process
of Cement
•9-Silos/ Bulk Cargo
•10-Packagging/ Shipping
10. Mud and Clay :
Mud and clay are the most commonly used materials in
residential buildings.
Buildings made primarily of mud and clay can easily tolerate
many years.
Using mud and clay in buildings is a very good option for
warm places
Soil and especially clay is good thermal mass; it is very good
at keeping temperatures at a constant level.
Homes built with earth tend to be naturally cool in the summer
heat and warm in cold weather.
11. Metals / Steel :
Metal is used as structural framework for larger buildings such
as Skyscrapers, or as an external surface covering.
Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron, and is
the usual choice for metal structural building materials.
It is strong, flexible, and if refined well and/or treated lasts a
long time.
The lower density and better corrosion resistance of
aluminium alloys and tin sometimes overcome their greater
cost.
12. •It’s used as framewok of concrete,
but also for pillars and framework
for roofs.
Copper
METALS Steel
Alluminium
•It’s used for
cross sections of
doors and
windows,
handrails and
closures.
•It’s used installations of
water,gas and conditioning.
13. Wood :
A natural material for building dwellings for thousands of
years,
Wood was also used to make Churches in the past.
Wood is an aesthetically pleasing material that never goes out
of trend completely,
Wood obtained from certain plants is quite durable.
These days wood is mostly used for making cabinets,
furniture or wardrobes.
14. Glass :
Glassmaking is considered an art form as well as an industrial
process or material.
Clear windows have been used since the invention of glass to
cover small openings in a building.
Glass is generally made from mixtures of sand and silicates,
in a very hot fire stove called a kiln and is very brittle.
Very often additives are added to the mixture when making to
produce glass with shades of colors or various characteristics.
The use of glass in architectural buildings has become very
popular in the modern culture.
15. Plastic :
The term plastics covers a range of polymerzation products
that can be molded or extruded into objects or films or fibers.
Plastics vary immensely in heat tolerance, hardness.
Plastic is a light, flexible substance, used mostly for piping in
buildings.
Their name is derived from the fact that in their semi-liquid
state they are malleable,(able to be hammered without break)
or have the property of plasticity.
16. •It’s used in fewer constructions
nowadays, but it’s used in roofs,
doors, windows and covering of
pavings and walls.
•It’s more frequen to use this
material nowadays. It’s used for
conductions of water, electric cables
and as insulator.
Glass
•It’s used in windows, doors, as
decoration, in pavings, etc. It’s a
mixture of soda, silica, lime and
other substances.
17. Concrete :
Concrete is made by mixing cement, sand, gravel and water,
while the structures are made using steel bars.
The most common form of concrete is Portland cement
concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally
gravel and sand), portland cement and water.
Concrete is another material known for its durability
It is more convenient to use as far as portability and molding
is concerned.
For a concrete construction of any size, as concrete has a
rather low tensile strenght, it is generally strengthened using
steel rods or bars (known as rebars).
18. •It’s a mixture of aggregates, composite
materials (such as cement) and water.
•Before it gets hard, it’s a doughty material and
can be putted inside a recipient, like formings(
CONCRETE (I)
Mass Concrete
It’s used for walls and
cimentation.
19. CONCRETE (II)
Inside it , there are incorporated a
structure of steel bars that can be tensed
before the concrete gets hard (Pre-
stressed concrete) or after it gets hard
(Post-tensed concrete).
Reinforced Concrete
Before it gets hard, we add to the doughty
concrete some chemicals that create air
inside the material, making it lighter and
improving the isolation properties.
20. ASPHALT
Also known as bitumen
Dark brown to black
Highly viscous
Hydrocarbon produced from
petroleum distillation residue.
At least 80% carbon, which explains
its deep black color.
Sulphur is another ingredient.
Primarily used as a sealant for
rooftops and a durable surface for
roads, airport runways, playgrounds
and parking lots.

23. USES OF GYPSUM
Gypsum Board primarily used as a finish for walls and ceilings;
known in construction slang as Drywall
Plaster ingredient.
A component of Portland cement used to prevent flash setting of
concrete.
25. CERAMIC MATERIALS (I)
Glazed Ceramic
•They’re prefabricated pieces of
molded clay fired in kilns.
•The procces of elaboration has two
parts: Mixture & Molding, and fire in
continuous kilns.
•Pieces of fired clay wich
are prism shaped with, or
without holes.
•Pieces of fired clay
used to cover roofs
that make an
isolation function.
•Squared pieces of fired clay
wich the exterior part of them is
covered with a cover which
makes it impermeable and
make it look nice. Used for
covering walls in kitchens and
bathrooms.
26. CERAMIC MATERIALS (II)
Porcelain
•It’s a mixture of clay, quartz and
feldspar. Very resistant to erosion.
Used to cover walls and paving.
Stoneware
•It’s a glazed
ceramic material
used for making
sanitary elements
for bathrooms.
27. STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION:
Preparation of the area: First the area when we
want to build has to be ready. We have to carry out
demolition if there is any building and we have to
level the soil with special machinery.
Foundation: it is the placement of some structures
under the ground to withstand the building.
Elevation of the structure: it is the construction of
the pillars and the plates which form the floors of
the building, they can be of steel or of reinforced
concrete.
28. STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION II
Coverage: it consists on covering the building with
materials like tiles or sheets of slate or zinc
depending on the characteristics of the climate of
the zone.
Placement of the pavement: it consists on placing
materials on each one of the floors. These materials
may be stoneware, wood, marble…
Construction of the walls: in this stage the walls and
partitions which close the building are built. These
walls are used to isolate it from the exterior and to
distribute the space of the interior. The walls are
usually built with bricks.
29. STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION III:
Placement of installations: it is necessary to
place in the buildings water, gas and electricity
supply, TV reception, air-conditioning
installations, internet reception, lifts…. Each
one of these installations are carried out by
different crew of professionals.
Finishing works: in this stage are carried out
works of painting, placing windows, doors,
wardrobes….
31. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT:
Construction equipment consists on compound machines or
vehicle machines. These machines make up the five
equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power
train... Currently most equipment use hydraulics as a primary
source of transferring power. The use of heavy equipment
has a long history.
Examples of construction’s machinery:
Excavators:
An excavator is an engineering vehicle consisting of an
articulated arm.
Excavators are used to dig and to move the earth which has
been dug.
Bulldozers:
A bulldozer is a machine used to push and level large
quantities of soil or sand.
32. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT II:
Steamrollers:
Steamrollers are a type of heavy construction machinery used for
flattening surfaces
In order to level the soil machines like bulldozers or steamrollers are
used.
Trucks:
A truck is a large motor vehicle commonly used for carrying goods
and materials.
Cranes:
A crane is a lifting machine equipped with a winder, wire ropes or
chains and sheaves that can be used both to lift and lower materials
and to move them horizontally.
Concrete mixers:
A concrete mixer is a machine that homogeneously combines
cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form
concrete.
