The future of solid concrete blocks in construction technology

Introduction

The construction industry involves masonry work, which divides the space created in a building into different categories based on its end-use, such as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, etc.

Today, concrete blocks are used extensively because clay bricks are not very eco-friendly.

What is a Concrete Block?

A concrete block is a building block built entirely out of concrete. It is then cemented with Mortar to form a strong, long-lasting structure.

Depending on the specific requirement/s, concrete blocks can be constructed out of hollow or solid concrete in various pre-defined sizes.

A concrete block can be used as a load-bearing wall, partition, or panel wall.

These are used in areas where suitable bricks or stones of suitable quality and strength are not available for masonry, but necessary aggregates are available.

Concrete Blocks Types:

Concrete blocks are of the following two main categories:

Solid Concrete Blocks

Concrete blocks with holes

Solid concrete blocks are not commonly used in everyday applications. They are used for specific needs, wants, and requirements such as fire resistance, sound absorption, or impenetrability.

Solid concrete is made of aggregate, Portland cement, or sand. It consists of solid material that makes up at least 75 % of the total volume measured from the total dimensions. Solid concrete blocks are heavy. They support the structure well. These blocks are used in major masonry projects. They can be used in both load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls. Solid blocks come in larger sizes than traditional bricks. This means that concrete block masonry can be built in less time than brick masonry.

Solid concrete Blocks provide the following advantages:

Concrete blocks increase carpet area by decreasing wall thickness because they are narrower than brick masonry walls.

Concrete blocks provide better thermal insulation.

They protect interiors from sound pollution by absorbing sound better.

They provide additional fire protection

They provide protection to our agricultural land which would otherwise be mined for manufacturing clay bricks.

Because of their large size, concrete blocks are more systematic, quicker, and stronger.

They can be individually built to a larger size and shape.

When compared to brick masonry, concrete blocks have a lower mortar consumption rate but have an increased overall building strength.

Unlike traditional bricks, concrete blocks are uniform in size which reduces the use of plaster.

Solid concrete blocks are relatively easy to design.

These blocks are resistant to extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, storms and flooding.

Concrete blocks have been misused in the past, but with the growing usage of concrete blocks and the future trends concerning concrete blocks, there is no doubt that concrete blocks have evolved over time. The future trends of concrete machines include innovations such as:

Machines are getting more advanced and have higher capacities

Full Automatic machines are available with higher production rates

The future trend is moving towards decorative concrete

One of the latest trends is the addition of optical fibers in the concrete mix to create translucent concrete. The use of this concept of translucent concrete is growing in popularity.

Conclusion

Concrete blocks are one of the three main alternatives to brick, stone, and concrete blocks when it comes to construction. There are many benefits of using concrete blocks such as thermal insulation, light weight, and low cost, among others. There is no doubt that there is no better alternative in the future than concrete blocks. In fact, future trends indicate more advancements and improvements in concrete blocks production.

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. Mulling over the best sealants for all your construction needs? Think no further than SD Conmix – the best RMC supplier for all your concrete material needs!

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.

Sand and Jelly

The construction industry uses a variety of building materials for different aspects of a structure. Some of the most common construction materials are Sand, Jelly, Cement, wood, steel and so on. Each has a different strength and durability, which makes it right for various uses. The selection criteria such as cost-effectiveness and quality play a significant role. With this approach, construction companies can also avoid mistakes.

What is sand?

Sand is one of the primary materials used in the construction of any building. It is a granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. Sand has various combinations. But defined by their grain size, sand grains are smaller than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand is an important material for construction because it provides bulk, strength and other properties to the concrete. It is one of the most important construction materials  for a structure. Since sand can be easily compressed, it is widely used for wall reinforcements and certain types of grounding or flooring. However, sand should be mixed with other materials in the correct amount, when it comes to (RMC) SD Conmix is the best option with a perfect and quality ready mix concrete.

When we are talking about sand there are a few types of sand that are required to make a building rock solid

River sand: This kind of sand is usually found on the banks of rivers or streams. The quality of this sand is perfect, and it comes in the colour grey and white, which is used for concrete purposes. The texture of this sand is grainy and smooth.

Concrete sand: It is a specific type of sand used as an aggregate in the concrete mixture, since the mixture of the concrete is coarse, it bonds with the materials to create a block of strong concrete.

Fill sand: as the name indicates this type of sand is used for filling, it is a combination of sand grains and aggregates and is primarily used for laying concrete.

Pit sand: this is best used for its superior binding property. It is coarse sand that is obtained naturally from the deep pits.

Why Ready Mix Concrete is a Better Option for High-Rise Buildings

High-rise buildings are a defining feature of modern urban landscapes. These towering structures require large amounts of concrete for their construction. In such a scenario, ready mix concrete (RMC) emerges as a clear winner over traditional concrete mixtures. RMC is a concrete mixture that is prepared in a batching plant and then transported to the construction site in a transit mixer. As per SD Conmix here are some reasons why RMC is a better option for high-rise buildings.

Constant Quality

High-rise buildings require a high level of consistency in the quality of the concrete used. Traditional concrete mixtures, which are mixed on-site, are highly susceptible to variations in the mix proportion, leading to inconsistencies in the quality of the final product. In contrast, RMC is produced in a controlled environment and follows a set mix proportion, resulting in consistent quality concrete. This consistency ensures that the concrete used in high-rise buildings is of uniform strength and durability.

Time-Saving

Time is a crucial factor in the construction of high-rise buildings. RMC eliminates the need for on-site mixing, reducing the time required for the construction process. Traditional concrete mixtures require a lot of manual labour to mix and transport the concrete to the site. This process can be time-consuming and can delay the construction schedule. RMC, on the other hand, is pre-mixed and transported to the site in transit mixers, which saves a lot of time and ensures the timely completion of the project.

Cost-Effective

The cost of traditional concrete mixtures can be quite high due to the need for additional labour, equipment, and space for mixing. RMC is a cost-effective solution for high-rise buildings as it eliminates the need for on-site mixing, thereby reducing labour costs. Additionally, RMC suppliers can procure raw materials in bulk, which reduces the cost of materials. The cost savings from using RMC can be significant, making it an attractive option for high-rise buildings.

Improved Safety

High-rise buildings require a lot of concrete, which means that the safety of the structure must be ensured. Traditional concrete mixtures are more susceptible to errors and inconsistencies, which can compromise the safety of the structure. RMC is produced in a controlled environment, which ensures that the concrete is of consistent quality and strength. This consistency makes RMC a safer option for high-rise buildings.

Eco-Friendly

RMC is an eco-friendly option for high-rise buildings. It reduces the carbon footprint of the construction process by eliminating the need for on-site mixing, reducing transportation emissions, and minimizing waste. RMC suppliers can also use recycled materials in the mix, further reducing the environmental impact. By using RMC, high-rise buildings can be constructed in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Conclusion

Ready mix concrete is a superior option for high-rise buildings. It offers consistent quality, reduces construction time, is cost-effective, improves safety, and is eco-friendly. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the demand for high-rise buildings will only increase. In such a scenario, RMC emerges as the most viable solution for meeting the construction requirements of these structures.

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. We provide the best customer service and are greatly admired by the clients we are associated with for their building projects. 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.

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. For more information on any type of ready-mix concrete, you can get in touch with SD Conmix, the only trusted company for RMC.
