This document summarizes a study on the effects of adding molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, to cement mortar and concrete. Molasses was collected from a sugar mill in Sonepat, Haryana, India. Tests were conducted to determine the impact of different molasses dosage levels (0-2% by weight of cement) on properties like setting time, water demand, air entrainment, and compressive strength of mortar and concrete. The results showed that molasses acts as an accelerator at dosages up to 0.5%, shortening setting time, but acts as a retarder at higher dosages. It also slightly reduces water demand and increases air content in fresh concrete. Compressive

This study compared the water sorption and solubility of one heat-cured acrylic resin (Trevalon) and one self-cured acrylic resin (Rapid Repair) when immersed in different solutions for periods of 1, 6, and 11 weeks. Specimens of each resin were immersed in distilled water, artificial saliva, denture cleaning solution, or alternating solutions and tested for weight changes. Both resins generally had higher sorption in denture cleaning solution and lower sorption in artificial saliva. Sorption increased over time for both resins. Solubility values were low and not significantly different between resins or solutions. The results indicated that artificial saliva provided better storage
The document discusses various types of special concrete admixtures including:
1) Self-consolidating concrete admixtures that allow concrete to flow and fill formwork without mechanical consolidation.
2) Hydration-control admixtures that can suspend concrete hydration for up to 72 hours to allow for reuse of returned concrete or long hauls.
3) Dampproofing, pumping aids, bonding, coloring, and other admixtures that provide benefits such as reducing moisture transmission, improving pumpability, increasing bond strength, and adding color to concrete.
The document provides details on how different admixtures work and their applications in concrete construction.
Chemical admixtures are ingredients added to concrete to modify its properties. Common admixtures include plasticizers, superplasticizers, retarders, accelerators, air-entraining agents, and damp-proofing/waterproofing agents. Plasticizers and superplasticizers reduce the water content needed for a given workability or increase workability at the same water content. Retarders slow hydration to increase workability time while accelerators increase early strength. Air-entraining agents create tiny air bubbles that increase frost and wear resistance. Damp-proofing agents fill pores or make concrete water-repellent. Factors like dosage, cement properties, temperature, and mixing methods affect admixture performance.
This document discusses various types of additives and admixtures used in cement and concrete construction. It describes additives that are added during cement manufacturing to modify properties, such as accelerators to speed strength development or retarders to extend settling time. Admixtures are added during concrete mixing and include air entraining, plasticizing, water reducing, accelerating, and retarding types. Two common waterproofing systems are described - cementitious systems that contain Portland cement and an active agent applied as a coating, and integral systems where admixtures are mixed into the concrete to make the entire structure waterproof without additional membranes or coatings.

Chemical admixtures are added to concrete to modify properties in either the fresh or hardened state. Common admixtures include air-entraining admixtures, which introduce tiny air bubbles that improve freeze-thaw resistance; water-reducing admixtures, which lower the water content needed for a given workability; and superplasticizers, also called high-range water reducers, which make very flowable, self-consolidating concrete. Admixtures function through adsorption, de-flocculation, or chemical interaction with hydrating cement. They are used to reduce construction costs, achieve desired concrete properties, and maintain quality in adverse conditions.
This document discusses elastomeric impression materials, including polysulfides. Polysulfides were the first nonaqueous elastomeric impression material developed for dentistry. They are supplied as a two paste system and undergo a condensation reaction when mixed, forming cross-links between mercaptan groups and producing polysulfide rubber and water. Polysulfides experience some shrinkage upon setting and require prompt pouring of models. They are useful for multiple impressions and various viscosities are available for different clinical applications.
Elastomeric impression materials include polysulfide, condensation silicone, addition silicone, and polyether. They undergo polymerization reactions to harden, with some releasing byproducts that can cause dimensional changes. Polysulfide uses condensation polymerization, releasing water. Condensation silicone also uses condensation and releases ethanol. Addition silicone and polyether use addition polymerization without byproducts. Polyether has the highest stiffness due to crosslinking. Addition silicone has the best dimensional stability. Properties vary between materials, with advantages and disadvantages to consider for different clinical applications.

Water damage phenomenon is widespread in our country, especially in southern rainy regions. This article adopts the method of indoor experimental comparison to study on road performance of a variety of spalling resistance material, like cement、quick lime、hydrated lime、amine、no-amine. The results found that: the comprehensive performance of quick lime as the spalling resistance material is better than other materials on the performance of overall road.
Comparative study on compressive strength of Self cured SCC and Normally cure...IJERA Editor
Curing is the process of maintaining proper moisture content particularly within 28 days to promote optimum
cement hydration immediately after placement. Self-compacting concrete is made up of admixture i.e.
superplasticizer. In recent years, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gained wide use for placement in
congested reinforced concrete structures with difficult casting conditions. Also various curing methods are
adopted in the construction industry especially for vertical structures, inaccessible areas s.a. high rise buildings,
water scarce areas etc. In such structures conventional curing is not practically possible in most of the cases. But
we need efficient curing which improves the strength and durability of concrete.
In the present work, comparison of compressive strength of normally cured SCC and SCC cured with self
curing material i.e. wax based, white pigmented, membrane forming concrete curing compound has been done.
This study is investigating that weather the use of self curing compound is economical or not in remote areas of
water without compromising with the compressive strength of concrete.
This document discusses the use of gypsum and sugar as retarding admixtures in concrete. Retarders are used to slow the chemical process of hydration, allowing concrete to remain workable longer without changing its mechanical properties. Tests were conducted to determine the setting time and compressive strength of concrete with different levels of gypsum and sugar added. The results showed that 2% gypsum and 0.04% sugar provided the optimal initial setting time and compressive strength for the concrete. Over-dosing the retarders resulted in weaker concrete.
Admixtures are ingredients added to concrete other than cement, water and aggregates that are added during mixing to achieve specific properties. There are chemical and mineral admixtures. Chemical admixtures include plasticizers, super plasticizers, retarders, accelerators and air-entraining admixtures. Mineral admixtures include fly ash, silica fume and GGBFS. Admixtures are used to reduce costs, improve workability, increase strength and durability, and ensure quality during mixing and curing. Each admixture type achieves different effects on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete.
Admixtures are added to concrete mixes to modify properties in both fresh and hardened concrete. Admixtures are classified based on their function, with common types including plasticizers/water reducers, superplasticizers/high range water reducers, and air-entraining admixtures. Permeability reducing admixtures are used to reduce water absorption through concrete by decreasing pore size and connectivity. They can reduce permeability by up to 70% depending on the type used. Proper concrete mix design and admixture dosage are required to achieve waterproofing benefits.
This document discusses the Hindustan Latex Limited (HLL) Lifecare company and its effluent treatment plant. HLL Lifecare operates two factories in Trivandrum, India - one in Peroorkada that produces condoms and one in Akkulam that produces other medical products. The effluent treatment plant at Peroorkada uses various tanks and processes like lime mixing, FeCl3 mixing, aeration, settling, and filtration to treat wastewater before recycling or disposal. Sludge from the treatment plant is dried on beds and could potentially be used to make bricks.
A Study On Self-Curing And Self-Compacting Concrete using Polyethylene GlycolIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on self-curing and self-compacting concrete using polyethylene glycol (PEG). The study aims to utilize the benefits of both self-curing and self-compacting concrete by adding PEG as a self-curing agent. Two mixes with different water-to-cement ratios were tested with PEG dosages ranging from 0.1% to 1% by weight of cement. Workability, water retention, and compressive strength were evaluated and compared between self-cured and traditionally cured self-compacting concrete. The results showed that self-cured concrete can achieve comparable compressive strength to traditionally cured concrete at lower water-to-cement ratios but not at higher ratios

This document provides an overview of latex ingredients and compounding formulations for latex products. It discusses the key components of natural rubber latex and synthetic lattices like SBR, neoprene, and nitrile. It describes the processes used to concentrate and preserve latex, including centrifuging and the use of ammonia or ammonia with bactericides. The document also covers the dispersion and emulsification of solids and liquids for addition to latex, and the roles of auxiliary chemicals like stabilizers, wetting agents, and thickening agents in compounding latex and achieving desired product characteristics.
Elastic impression materials like alginate and agar are able to reproduce undercuts accurately due to their elasticity. Alginate is an irreversible hydrocolloid that sets via a chemical reaction between soluble alginate and calcium sulfate. It forms a brush heap gel structure and has adequate strength and accuracy for dental impressions. Agar is a reversible hydrocolloid that transitions between sol and gel states based on temperature. Both require special equipment for manipulation but provide elastic impressions suitable for edentulous and dentulous arches.
Drilling Waste Separation by Solidification and Stabilization for Mud RecycleGloria Yan
Drilling waste separation from oil and gas operations often contains contaminants like oil and metals that make it unsuitable for disposal or reuse without treatment. Solidification and stabilization processes can be used to encapsulate drilling waste in a solid monolith made of additives like cement, lime, or fly ash, reducing contaminant leaching. This restricts contaminant migration and produces a material with improved handling characteristics that may be suitable for reuse in construction or land applications. However, the long-term stability and effectiveness of solidification/stabilization is a concern, and the process is not suitable for all drilling waste compositions or offshore use.
This document provides an overview of single pot processing (SPP) for pharmaceutical granulation. SPP combines mixing, granulation, and drying steps into a single machine. It has several benefits over traditional granulation methods like reduced processing time and material handling. The document outlines the key features of SPP systems including integrated heating, drying mechanisms like vacuum and microwaves, and enhanced process control. It also presents a case study of using SPP for an effervescent product and discusses regulatory considerations for post-approval changes involving new equipment.
This document presents a seminar report on the strength behavior of self-curing fly ash concrete using steel fibres. The report was submitted in partial fulfillment of a Master of Technology degree in civil engineering.

The report also reviews literature on internal curing methods. It describes the materials and mix proportions used to produce self-curing fly ash concrete. Methods for preparing test specimens and determining workability and strength are also outlined.
Studying the Influence of Polycarboxylic Ether on Properties of ConcreteIRJET Journal
This document discusses how polycarboxylic ether affects the properties of concrete. It studies the influence of different dosages of polycarboxylic ether superplasticizer on the compressive strength and slump loss of M30 grade concrete with a 0.35 water-cement ratio. The optimal dosage is reported as the amount that produces the highest compressive strength after 7 and 28 days, and minimum slump loss. The results showed that polycarboxylic ether was most effective at dosages of 0.8% for compressive strength and 0.9% by cement weight for slump loss.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF SAP ON CONCRETEIRJET Journal
This document describes an experimental study on the effect of super absorbent polymer (SAP) on concrete properties. SAP is added to concrete in amounts of 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% to study its impact. The addition of SAP improves the workability and placement of concrete. However, too much SAP can cause voids and reduce strength. The study aims to test the strengths of SAP concrete and compare to normal concrete. Results on compressive strength, split tensile strength, and other properties are presented for different SAP amounts. Finite element modeling is also used to analyze beams. In general, SAP improves properties but high amounts can be detrimental.

This document presents an experimental study on the behavior of self-healing concrete using silica gel in microcapsules as a healing agent. Concrete specimens were made with 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% dosages of silica gel by weight of cement. The specimens were initially cracked and then retested after 7 days of curing. Test results showed that specimens with 0.3% silica gel achieved the highest regain in compressive strength and split tensile strength after healing, reaching 55.34% of the original strength. The study aims to evaluate the influence of silica gel dosage on the strength properties of self-healing concrete.

Effect of fly ash on the rheological and filtration properties of water based...eSAT Journals
Abstract An experimental investigation was carried out to study the effect of fly ash on the rheological and filtration properties of water based drilling fluids with the objective of the development of environmentally acceptable non-damaging and inhibitive drilling fluid system to drill sensitive formations. Initially, different drilling fluids combinations were prepared using carboxy methyl cellulose (low viscosity grade), polyanionic cellulose, xanthan gum, and potassium chloride. The rheological properties as well as filtration properties of these drilling fluids were measured by API recommended methods. These drilling fluids show very good rheological behavior but poor filtration loss characteristics. When fly ash was added in these drilling fluid combinations, a nanoparticles fluid system was established which has better control on filtration properties without affecting the rheological properties and has good potential for the drilling of sensitive formations. Index Terms: Filtrate Loss Properties, Rheological Properties, Wellbore Instability, Inhibitive Drilling Fluid, Nanoparticles, Shale.

The main ingredients are cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (gravel), and water. Fine aggregate fills the spaces between coarse aggregate. Cement acts as the binding agent when mixed with water through hydration. The optimal water-cement ratio is important - too much water reduces strength, while too little reduces workability. Two common methods for calculating raw material quantities are discussed: 1) based on experimental dry-wet ratios and material unit weights; and 2) using yield and cement factor thumb rules.
This document discusses the use of granite waste powder as a filler material in self-compacting concrete (SCC). It begins with an introduction to SCC and its benefits over traditional vibrated concrete.

Studies on the Effect of Bottom Ash on Ceramic Waste Aggregate ConcreteIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on the effect of using bottom ash and ceramic waste as replacements for natural aggregates in concrete. Bottom ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants, and ceramic waste were used to partially replace fine and coarse aggregates. Various replacement percentages were tested. Tests were performed to determine the workability and compressive strength of the concrete mixtures at 7, 14, and 28 days. The results showed that workability increased with higher replacement levels, as the bottom ash and ceramic waste are more angular and rough than natural aggregates. Compressive strength was also affected by the replacement levels. The study aims to promote the use of these waste materials in concrete to reduce environmental impacts while creating more sustainable concrete.

IRJET- To Study the Strength Characteristics of Concrete by Replacing Curing ...IRJET Journal
This document discusses replacing the curing water in concrete with self-curing compounds to improve concrete strength and durability. It summarizes research on adding shrinkage-reducing admixtures (SRA) like polyethelyne glycol (PEG-4000) and super absorbent polymers (SAP) to the concrete mix at different percentages. The research found that concrete with 1.5% SRA and 0.2% SAP by weight of cement achieved 13% higher compressive strength and 24% higher split tensile strength compared to conventionally cured concrete. Higher SAP contents reduced strength. Self-curing concrete can overcome issues with inadequate external curing and performs better in areas with limited water availability.

Analysis of Admixtures and Their Effects of Silica Fumes, Metakaolin and PFA...IJMER
This paper presents a review of the properties of fresh concrete including workability, heat
of hydration, setting time, bleeding, and reactivity by using mineral admixtures fly ash (FA), silica
fume (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), metakaolin (MK), and rice husk ash (RHA).
Comparison of normal and high strength concrete in which cement has been partially supplemented
by mineral admixture has been considered. It has been concluded that mineral admixtures may be
categorized into two groups: chemically active mineral admixtures and microfiller mineral
admixtures. Chemically active mineral admixtures decrease workability and setting time of concrete
but increase the heat of hydration and reactivity. On the other hand, micro filler mineral admixtures
increase workability and setting time of concrete but decrease the heat of hydration and reactivity. In
general, small particle size and higher specific surface area of mineral admixture are favourable to
produce highly dense and impermeable concrete; however, they cause low workability and demand
more water which may be offset by adding effective super plasticizer.
Experimental Analysis of Partial Replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement in C...IRJET Journal
This document describes an experimental analysis of partially replacing ordinary Portland cement in concrete with marble dust and super plasticizer. The production of cement causes environmental issues through harmful emissions. Using industrial wastes like marble dust in concrete can improve durability while reducing costs and pollution. The study aims to determine the optimal percentage replacement of cement with marble dust when using a super plasticizer admixture. Tests were conducted to measure the workability and compressive strength of concrete mixtures with varying amounts of marble dust and super plasticizer over 7 and 28 days. Previous literature found that marble dust can be used to partially replace cement or fine aggregates in concrete. Super plasticizers increase workability while reducing the water-cement ratio for stronger, more durable concrete.
This document discusses various types of admixtures that are added to concrete to modify its properties. It describes 15 types of admixtures classified according to their function, including plasticizers, superplasticizers, retarders, accelerators, air-entraining agents, and pozzolanic materials. Common chemical admixtures are discussed in more detail, along with their effects on properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Mineral admixtures like fly ash, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, and silica fume are also summarized in terms of their composition and impact on improving concrete quality and durability.
