Cement Manufacturing
Concrete, Mineral and Chemical Admixtures
(a) Choosing Right Synthetic fibres for sprayed Concrete Fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete is widely used for rock support, with fibres replacing conventional mesh reinforcement. It can be applied safely, fast and in a highly mechanised way. Read more.
(b) SSA Concrete Keeps Strength after 17 Years
This study was conducted on concrete using sewage sludge ash (SSA) with the aim to establish an efficient use of sewage sludge ash (SSA) as a cement replacement material. Read more.
(c) Coarse Aggregate Boosts Concrete Strength Researchers in Poland applied principal component analysis to 38 concrete mixtures and found that certain mixtures had higher strength. For instance, a high compressive strength corresponded to a high content of coarse aggregate fractions and a low compressive strength corresponded to a high content of fine aggregate fractions. Read more.
(d) Heidelberg Cement Plans World's first CO2 Neutral Cement Plant in Sweden. Heidelberg Cement, the world's second-largest cement maker plans to turn its Swedish factory in Slite into the world's first CO2-neutral cement plant by 2030 via carbon capture technology. Read more.
(e) Precast Concrete for Manholes Manholes made from precast concrete offer several advantages for sewer systems, including the ability to place the manholes at depths of 500 feet or greater. Concrete also resists corrosion and offers watertight construction when coated with sealants during the precasting process. Readmore.
(a) Mineral
Admixtures in Cement and Concrete, Author: Jayant D. Bapat, CRC Press, Taylor
& Francis Group Books
Written
for engineers, this book focuses on how to make more workable and durable
concrete using mineral admixtures. For each mineral admixture, the book looks
at manufacturing and processing, physical characteristics, chemical and
mineralogical composition, quality control, and reported experiences. It also
examines the provisions of national standards on the admixture’s addition to
cement and concrete. Offering a deeper understanding of mineral admixtures, it
encourages engineers to more effectively use these and other wastes in cement
and concrete to support more sustainable growth of the cement and construction
industry. Read More.
(b) Blissful
Souls All Of Us: Author: Dr Jayant D Bapat: Publisher: CreateSpace, USA.
The Book is a result of
author's quest to remain happy forever. It focuses on self-improvement through
meditation. The real and original nature of self, common to all human beings,
is empathic, pure and joyful. However, that ‘self’ has deviated considerably
from its original nature. Meditation is a time-tested tool to reach the
original nature of self. Like exercise is for the body, meditation is for the
mind. Practice controlled breathing or pranayam to assist meditation. The book
gives helpful tips to practice meditation for self-improvement. Blissful
experiences gained during meditation are useful resolving conflicts, reducing
stress, building durable personal relationships and recording improved
performance at the work. Meditation and controlled breathing balance the
intelligence. The exercise teaches to take a holistic view of life and life’s
problems. Book is available in both print and Kindle version. Visit the link to
buy/review the book.
