Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality. A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below: Lime: Lime constitutes about 60 – 65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly. Silica: About 17% – 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement. Alumina Cement contains about 3.5 % – 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement. However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength. Iron Oxide About 0.5% – 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement. Magnesium Oxide It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % – 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening. Sulphur Trioxide A small quantity of about 1 % – 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound. Alkalis Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% – 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar. Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement: Cement should possess a uniform colour. Cement has to be free from lumps. Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water. The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight. Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight. The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated. The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes. The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours. SD Conmix is known for providing the best-quality Ready mix concrete in Bangalore.

Admixtures- Application

The construction industry significantly contributes to the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country. As the country sees an age of infrastructure development, the construction business in India is expected to thrive and grow in the coming years. Naturally seeing the economic trend, people want to try their hands in this field. SDconmix is one of the top ready-mix concrete suppliers in Bengaluru. They have a ready-mix concrete plant fully equipped with a team of technicians. Concrete is defined as a composite material that consists of fine and coarse aggregates bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over some time. What are admixtures? An admixture is defined as a material other than the normal ingredients like water, aggregates cementitious materials, and fibre reinforcement. It is used as an ingredient of a cementitious mixture to modify its freshly mixed settings which are added to the mixture before or during the mixing. Why are admixtures used? Admixtures are used in the concrete mix for various reasons, like to alter the properties, improving the workability, increasing or decreasing cure time, and increasing concrete strength. Admixtures can also be used for aesthetic reasons, such as to change the colour of the cement. Concrete admixtures improve the properties of the concrete in constructions with special requirements. Chemical admixtures can provide a number of benefits and effects on the consolidation of freshly mixed concrete as well as on the performance of both hardened and fresh concrete. These mixtures help to achieve the desired results and to avoid unnecessary instances. Some of the most important purposes for which admixture is used: Improves workability without increasing water content or decreasing water content at the same workability level. Accelerate the time of the initial setting Decreases rate of settlement Modify the rate or capacity of concrete bleeding Reduces segregation Enhance pumpability Reduce the rate of slump loss. Increases bond between existing and new concrete Enhances impact resistance and abrasion resistance Produce coloured concrete or mortar The concrete admixtures should be selected as per the specification and should be used as recommended by a professional. For larger construction projects the quantity of the admixtures to be used should be obtained from test reports for concrete mixed with admixtures at various percentages. These tests are done to understand the behaviour of the admixtures on the desired quality and strength of concrete. Conclusion It is highly important to know that the admixtures are mixed in the concrete mix only if required as per the specifications and method of applications. This is to avoid the adverse effect on the concrete properties in fresh and hardened states.

Scaffolding for Concrete Structures

Over a period the construction business has taken a lead with technological advancement and high demand for services, and the only way to go is up. The construction industry looks promising, with the opportunity in the residential and infrastructure sector. The major drivers of this market growth are rising houses starting to raise infrastructure. What is scaffolding? Scaffolding is a temporary structure made up of a timber or steel framework over which the workmen can sit and carry on the construction work. Scaffolding is needed for new construction work. It is also helpful for the repairs of the structure, and it serves well to demolish a structure. These are used for large structures where ready-mix concrete in the form of concrete blocks are used for construction, as one of the popular RMC is from SD Conmix. Some of the scaffolds used for the concrete structure are Single scaffolding: This consists of a single framework of standard, ledgers, putlogs, etc. constructed parallel to the wall. This type of putlog scaffolding is commonly used for the laying of bricks. Double or mason scaffolding: In the case of stone masonry, it is very difficult for the wall to support putlogs. In that case, two rows of scaffolding are placed from the wall respectively, which makes it stronger and more stable. Cantilever or needle: When the ground is weak when the upper part of the wall must be carried out, to keep the space next to the wall free from traffic. Then this type of scaffolding can be used. Suspended scaffolding: This type of scaffolding is normally used for repair works such as pointing, painting, etc. Wire ropes of the chains are connected to the working platform of the scaffolds and are suspended from the roof of the building. By using rope or chain the platform can be raised or lowered as per required level. Trestle scaffolding: This type of scaffolding is used for painting and repair works inside the room, at a low height. The working platform is supposed to be on top of movable contrivances such as tripods, ladders, etc. Steel scaffolding: In steel scaffolding instead of using wooden members, steel tubes are used and steel couplets or fittings are used instead of rope lashing, other things are similar to the wooden types. Such scaffoldings can be erected and dismantled rapidly. Steel scaffolds are nowadays used in high-rise buildings because of their height, greater strength, greater durability and greater fire resistance. Though its initial cost is more, its salvage cost is higher; it is extensively used these days, both used for brick and stone walls. Patented walls: Normally in the market scaffolding made of steel is available. These scaffolds are arranged in special coupling frames, etc. The working platform is supported on brackets which can be adjusted at any suitable height. Conclusion Scaffolds are very essential for big structures for today’s construction scenario. It is mainly used for raised and tall structures that use ready-mix concrete for construction, for durability and stability. When we talk about RMC, SD Conmix is the best for it, they are quality suppliers for ready mix concrete.

Are Concrete Blocks better than Bricks?

Construction is a very ancient human activity; it began with purely functional needs for a controlled environment. The present state of construction is complex. There is a wide range of buildings, products and systems, that are highly organised. Which include a lot of management, quality control and insurance. Construction today is a significant part of the industrial culture with a varied built environment to serve the diverse needs of society. If you have plans for the construction of some buildings, understanding the difference between concrete blocks and bricks will help to make an informed decision. Some of the features of concrete blocks and bricks Concrete blocks are a type of building material that is made up of aggregates like sand, cement, gravel and water. A concrete block is usually used in the construction of building walls, floors, and foundations for a structure like houses and commercial buildings. Concrete blocks are good for construction purposes because they are durable when compared to bricks. When you opt for concrete blocks from SD Conmix then it is always a safe bet for the customer. Because they believe in quality. The strength of the concrete block is due to its combination of construction materials, it is made up of cement, sand, and aggregates which provide it with high compressive strength. The brick on the other hand is made up of clay and stone which provides it with low composite strength. This makes the brick more susceptible to cracking and breaking when it is subjected to a high load of pressure. Concrete blocks come in different sizes and shapes, but bricks do not. while concrete blocks can be used for a variety of construction purposes. The concrete blocks are inexpensive yet durable, they do not absorb water, while the bricks are not durable because they absorb a lot of water in them and create dampness in them. The concrete blocks can be stacked one above the other without the risk of collapse. While this is not possible in the case of bricks Concrete blocks are used for the construction of a wide range of structures. The bricks have a limited range for construction. concrete blocks from SD Conmix are the best mix concrete for any big and large structures. Concrete blocks are lightweight, so they don’t take up much space in the house while bricks are heavy compared to them. Concrete blocks come in different colours to choose from which makes a good option for those who want to match with the décor of the house, while the bricks have one colour. Conclusion The advantages of concrete blocks over bricks include durability, as concrete blocks are harder to crack or break than bricks, maintenance because it’s easier to clean up concrete, and cost because there are fewer materials required to make concrete blocks than bricks. We at SD Conmix are one of the best suppliers of concrete blocks in Bangalore.

Sealants – Application in Construction Industry

Building a home is not an easy task as it requires a whole variety of different materials to be clubbed together. Substances like metal, glass, wood, concrete, glass, fibreglass and others find their places and have their uses in a structure. The joints at which these varied materials meet are a bit tough to seal as these different materials do not become the tightest bonds. Fortunately, there is a whole sort of building product curated for the sealing process – sealants. Through this blog, we at SD Conmix – the best construction materials suppliers will educate you about sealants and their applications in the construction industry. Sealants are materials that are utilised to block, seal, or cover gaps in between building materials to restrict air, fluids, pests and other things from passing through. The meeting point of the dissimilar materials is joint by sealants. They fill in any irregularities that might be present between the two surfaces. Sealants are also used in filling cracks in surfaces such as concrete and other stiff building materials. Sealants are used to cover up gaps around windows and door trim or allow flexible adhesion between two surfaces. As the sealants restrict air and prevent other materials from passing through the gaps, they can retain a home keeping it comfortable in varied weather conditions. It is natural to find sealants in a wide range of usages. Window and door installers will be covered with a sealant, creating an air-tight seal. The connection between framing lumber and concrete foundations can contain sealants. Other uses of sealants entail window glazing, and patching cracks in the concrete foundation, apart from seams around mouldings within the home. Wherever there is a gap for air, water, or insects to pass through, a sealant can do the trick. There is a wide range of sealants available and each of them has its plus and minus points. Few sealants have limited application. They will work for one application but perhaps not for the other. Other sealants might be general usage targeted. This is why it is necessary to select the best sealant for the required task. The types of sealants used in construction are: Water Based, Acrylic, Butyl, Polysulfide, Silicone, Polyurethane, etc. The benefits of using sealants from SD Conmix are varied. Their sealants have high viscosity, allowing them to still be at the applied surface, even on vertical joints. Hardness is one major property of an ideal sealant that makes it resistant to unwanted happenings like deformation. Sealants from SD Conmix are weather resistant and can bear extreme temperatures of sun and moisture, and at the same time, they remain flexible as and when needed. Sealants from SD Conmix are examined by the ASTM C920 Standard Specification for Elastomeric Joint Sealants and are approved for their capability of movement and adhesion. Volatile Organic Compounds, which are respiratory irritants usually found in sealants are minimal in SD Conmix sealants. Ensuring the right sealant prevents unwanted expenses. The sealants from SD Commix are durable. Owing to the packaging, they can be stored for up to 12 months in a closed container in a dry and cool place. Any sealant works efficiently when used correctly, however choosing the best option can pose a hurdle. No sealant is inferior or superior compared to others. The best sealant is chosen after assessing the performance properties of each kind of application. Cost cutting is essential but not at the expense of performance.

Curing- Duration for Effectiveness

Curing is a process followed to maintain adequate moisture content and temperature in concrete at an early age. It is imperative for curing as it develops properties the mixture was primarily designed to achieve. Immediately after finishing and placement of the concrete mix, the curing process begins. Curing the concrete helps develop the required durability and desired strength. As mentioned above, maintaining adequate moisture supply and temperature is required without which the cementitious materials in concrete will not be able to react to form the desired quality construction material. Drying can remove the water needed for this chemical reaction preventing the concrete from achieving its potential properties. During the progression of the cement hydration reaction, concrete will eventually change its state from a fluid to a rigid state. Another important factor for proper curing is maintaining the temperature, as the rate of hydration and strength develops faster at higher temperatures. For an adequate rate of strength development, the concrete temperature should be maintained above 50 degrees Fahrenheit which is 10-degree Celsius. Furthermore, it is important to maintain a uniform temperature all through the concrete section while it is in the process of gaining strength thus avoiding thermal cracking. Weather conditions such as windy weather and relative humidity are also important for exposed concrete as they contribute to the rate of moisture content loss from the concrete, thereby resulting in lack of durability, cracking & poor surface quality. To prevent plastic shrinkage cracking, protective measures need to be taken to control the evaporation of moisture from concrete surfaces before it sets. Build all of your dream projects with SD Conmix’s Ready Mix Concrete. We follow a skilled and conceptual approach to manufacture our ready mix concrete with the top-rated technology in the industry to achieve the desired end product. SD Conmix is now one of the most respected and sought-after RMC manufacturers in Bangalore.

At SD Conmix we always ensure to abide by ethical operational practices, which is why we are also known as the Best Customer Service Provider. Concrete is an important construction material used in construction and concrete’s strength and durability greatly lie and is influenced by curing. Concrete curing in construction has to be done for complete hydration of cement to take place or else the full strength required will not be achieved. Proper curing is highly essential and curing- duration for effectiveness results in: Increased strength of concrete will help build a strong building structure. Improved wear-resistant and weather-resistant properties to withstand different weather conditions, and Increased impermeability and durability to sustain. This curing of concrete is supposed to be started as soon as the initial setting time of the concrete has been reached and has to be carried out for a reasonable amount of time. It is based on the specified quality standards to be able to achieve its required strength and desired durability, to ensure it serves as a suitable construction material for any construction. In construction, brickwork should be left for at least seven days for curing, and reinforced cement concrete should be left for at least 15 days for curing. Curing will not be required during the rainy season. SD CONMIX Bangalore is a Top Readymix Concrete Material Supplier.

How Ready Mix Concrete is Revolutionizing the Construction Industry

Ready mix concrete (RMC) has become a game-changer in the construction industry in recent years, with its ability to provide a range of benefits compared to traditional on-site mixed concrete. RMC is a pre-made mixture of cement, aggregates, and water that is delivered to the construction site in a mixer truck, ready to be poured and used immediately. In this blog, we at SD Conmix – one of the best ready mix concrete manufacturers in Bangalore, will explore how RMC is revolutionizing the construction industry and why it is quickly becoming the preferred choice for contractors and builders worldwide.

Consistent quality

One of the most significant advantages of RMC is its consistent quality. The mixture is made in a controlled environment, using precise measurements and high-quality materials, ensuring that every batch has the same quality and strength. On the other hand, on-site mixed concrete is prone to variations in materials, water-cement ratio, and mixing technique, leading to inconsistencies in quality and strength. With RMC, contractors and builders can rely on consistent quality and strength, making it easier to plan and execute their construction projects.

Time and cost-saving

RMC can help save time and money in construction projects. On-site mixing requires a significant amount of time, labour, and equipment, including cement mixers, batching plants, and storage facilities. On the other hand, RMC is delivered to the site in mixer trucks, eliminating the need for on-site mixing and reducing labour costs. Moreover, the precise measurements and consistency in quality ensure that the required amount of RMC is used, reducing wastage and material costs.

Increased efficiency

RMC provides increased efficiency in construction projects, allowing contractors to pour and finish the concrete in less time. On-site mixing requires significant preparation time, including setting up the batching plant, preparing materials, and cleaning up after the mixing process. With RMC, the mixer truck arrives at the site and pours the concrete directly into the required location, reducing preparation and clean-up time. Moreover, RMC can be customized to meet specific project requirements, including strength, durability, and workability, providing increased efficiency and flexibility.

Reduced environmental impact

RMC can help reduce the environmental impact of construction projects. On-site mixing requires a significant amount of water, which can lead to water wastage and environmental damage. Moreover, the transportation of raw materials and equipment to the site can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. RMC reduces water consumption, as the mixture is prepared in a controlled environment using precise measurements. Moreover, the transportation of RMC to the site is more efficient, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Improved safety

RMC provides improved safety in construction projects. On-site mixing requires significant labour and equipment, which can lead to accidents and injuries. Moreover, the handling and storage of raw materials can pose safety risks, including exposure to dust and toxic materials. With RMC, the mixture is prepared in a controlled environment, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Moreover, the mixer trucks are equipped with safety features, including backup cameras and alarms, ensuring safe delivery of the concrete to the site.

In conclusion, we at SD Conmix believe that RMC is revolutionizing the construction industry by providing a range of benefits, including consistent quality, time and cost savings, increased efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and improved safety.

The Science Behind the Strength of Hollow Concrete Blocks

Hollow concrete blocks have been a popular building material for many years, and with good reason. They are strong, lightweight, and cost-effective, making them a great choice for both residential and commercial construction. But what exactly makes hollow concrete blocks so strong? Through this blog, we at SD Conmix – the best concrete blocks supplier will explore the science behind the strength of hollow concrete blocks.

To understand the strength of hollow concrete blocks, it’s important to first understand how they are made. Hollow concrete blocks are made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates, such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone. This mixture is then poured into molds and allowed to cure, creating a solid block with hollow cavities inside.

The strength of a hollow concrete block is determined by a number of factors, including the quality of the materials used, the curing process, and the size and shape of the block. Let’s take a closer look at each of these factors.

Materials

The quality of the materials used to make hollow concrete blocks is critical to their strength. Cement is the binding agent that holds the block together, and the quality of the cement used can have a significant impact on the block’s strength. High-quality cement has a higher compressive strength, which means it can withstand more weight and pressure without cracking or breaking.

Aggregates, such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone, are also important. These materials provide the bulk of the block’s volume and contribute to its overall strength. The size and shape of the aggregates used can also affect the block’s strength. For example, smaller aggregates tend to create a denser, stronger block than larger aggregates.

Curing Process

The curing process is also critical to the strength of a hollow concrete block. During curing, the block is allowed to dry and harden, which strengthens the cement and aggregates. The length of the curing process can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the temperature and humidity of the environment.

In general, a longer curing time will result in a stronger block. However, the curing process can also be accelerated using various techniques, such as steam curing or the use of additives. These techniques can help to speed up the curing process without compromising the strength of the block.

Size and Shape

The size and shape of a hollow concrete block can also affect its strength. Larger blocks are generally stronger than smaller blocks, as they have a greater surface area and more internal volume. The shape of the block can also affect its strength, with blocks that are wider and flatter being stronger than blocks that are tall and narrow.

In addition to these factors, the way that hollow concrete blocks are used in construction can also affect their strength. For example, the way that the blocks are stacked and reinforced can have a significant impact on their ability to withstand weight and pressure.

In conclusion, the science behind the strength of hollow concrete blocks is complex and multifaceted, involving a number of factors such as materials, curing process, and size and shape. By understanding these factors, builders can ensure that they are using the highest quality hollow concrete blocks for their construction projects, resulting in stronger and more durable buildings.

Overall, hollow concrete blocks are an excellent building material that offers a range of benefits, including strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. By taking the time to understand the science behind their strength, builders can ensure that they are using the best possible materials for their projects, resulting in buildings that are not only strong and durable but also safe and secure for their occupants.

What are RCC footings?

RCC footings are Reinforced Cement Concrete footings. They are made up of steel bars. Footings transfer the load uniformly on the ground below, so there is no unequal settlement. RCC footings are generally adopted in buildings constructed with columns. They can be of different types: trapezoidal, block, or stepped footing. SD Conmix provides ready mix concrete for various construction projects.

Following are the types of footings:

1. Continuous wall footing: It is generally used in the load-bearing structures to support the foundation walls and load-bearing walls. In this, there is a big concrete slab below the wall and a brick wall in the center of the slab. SD Conmix provides quality mix concretefor this type of construction.

2. Isolated column footing: This supports only one column and has three types of footings namely Pad footing, stepped footing, and then sloped footing. Pad footing is generally used in local construction.

Stepped footing contains two or three rectangular or square pedestals whose width decreases towards the column junction. This type of footing consumes less concrete compared to block footing. As the name suggests, block footing is in the form of a block, which is easy to construct and consumes slightly more concrete. Sloped footing is usually used in high-rise buildings and consumes relatively less concrete.

3. Combined footing: The base of two columns is combined in this type of footing. SD Conmix provides ready mix concrete for all types of footings and also supplies quality construction material.

4. Trapezoidal combined footing: A trapezoidal footing is used when the load of one column is greater than the other and usually sloped footings are trapezoidal footings.

5. Mat or raft foundation: When the space between the columns is significantly less, a mat or raft foundation is used. In this, the base of all columns is combined. So after combining, an extensive base is formed, called a raft. The thickness of the raft foundation is more than the other types of footings. SD Conmix supplies high-quality mix concrete for construction

6. Pile foundation: Piles are used as deep foundations where the soil is very weak and has a higher groundwater table. Mostly used in bridge or dam constructions.

Conclusion: Points to be remembered for RCC footing:

1. Check the excavation for its dimensional accuracy before laying the foundation

2. Secure the vertical rods in the foundation firmly in its position

3. Use a minimum M20 grade of concrete

4. Ensure proper concrete compaction in the sloped portion of the foundation.

5. Concrete in stepped or block footings attain better compaction.

SD Conmix supplies high-quality construction material and ready concrete mix for all types of construction.
