The advantages of aerated concrete

Mastour ReadyMix is a Ready mix concrete and Cement Product Company Jeddah Saudi Arabia

If thoughtful – in modern construction are not so many materials that can be used without any pretreatment. People found ways to improve materials: brick now has excellent insulation and hardwood handle special structures Which protect from moisture, heat and insects. Accounted for all: bearing characteristics of materials, availability of price, ease of operation. Pores (cells) of cellular concrete, such as saturated air, and air – the ideal heat insulator. That is why the cellular concrete prober such an important quality as excellent thermal insulation, which distinguishes it from conventional concrete. Modern buildings, erected from cellular concrete, much warmer than brick or wood.

Of course, homes and cottages of brick and wood are sufficiently thermally insulated but for their warm-up spent a lot of energy. Energy consumption for heating the rooms in the building of cellular concrete is considerably lower than for heating buildings of brick. Heating country house can be very costly. For what would be a brick house and a building made of cellular concrete were heated with an equally low power consumption, the walls of the house of bricks must be thick as 1.9 meters, and cellular concrete 0,5 meters. From this it follows that for heating in the brick building is necessary to use heaters and expend more energy. Accordingly, to increase the price of the entire structure. The thickness of walls in buildings made of cellular concrete standard that allows for 20-40% reduction in spending on heating. Porosity of the material can also maximize soundproofing.

What Materials Can Be Added to Concrete to Make It Stronger?

Mastour ReadyMix is one of the largest concrete manufacturing companies located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with ready mix concrete and cement plants in Jedda saudi Arabia, Khamis Mushayt Saudi Arabia, Abha Saudi Arabia, Dammam Saudi Arabia,

Concrete is often a strong enough product on its own. However, the material does crack under too much pressure. Similarly, concrete can crack under the wrong kind of pressure. Concrete is known to withstand compression, but it bends or cracks under tension weight. To make the concrete stronger and last longer under tension, companies add materials to the concrete during various stages of the process.

Nano-concrete

Molecular materials are poured into the concrete to add strength while the concrete is being mixed. Some of the nano-concrete mixtures are comprised of polyethylene or ethylene particles such as being developed by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Other nano-concrete, like that developed by the University of Florida, use the silicates from finely ground clay. According to MIT’s “Technology Review Magazine,” nano-molecules work their way into the microscopic holes found in the cement. As a concrete slab is poured, the nano-molecules inside the holes make it harder for salt and other contaminants to enter the holes and cause the concrete to break.

Post Tensioning (Rebar or Cable)

Another way to strengthen concrete is to incorporate steel into the mix. This is not done using fine particles. Instead, the concrete is poured over steel bars or cables that are woven into a mesh. The mesh is completely encapsulated into the concrete. The steel adds reinforcement to the concrete, providing extra help in handling tension. The concrete slabs made in this manner are called post tensioning slabs.

Fiber Reinforcement

Fibers applied to the concrete during the mixing stage are yet another strengthener. Steel, polypropylene and other polymers are mixed into the concrete to reinforce it after drying. The fibers help absorb the tension that leads to cracking, adding to the durability of the concrete.

Availability

Not all of these concrete mixes or their additions are available for purchase at your local hardware. Nano-concrete is not available until the product has undergone further testing. Post tensioning is a technique that has been used for quite some time, however. You can purchase steel rebar and cable materials at any large hardware store. The fiber additives are also available as well as concrete pre-mixed with fibers. You can find these with retailers who specialize in concrete.

Basics of Concrete

Mastour Ready Mix is one of the major companies operating in the field of construction and reconstruction depends in its work

Concrete is made up of five primary constituents.

• Water
• Cement
• Air
• Fine Aggregate (FA)
• Coarse Aggregate (CA)

The water and cement form a paste, which binds the aggregate into a rock-like mass as the water and cement combine through a chemical reaction called hydration. The paste also includes entrapped air introduced by mechanical mixing and entrained air introduced by the addition of chemical admixtures. The paste constitutes between 25 and 40 percent of the volume. The aggregate makes up the remaining 60 to 75 percent. Air in concrete varies from about ½ to 2 percent in non-air-entrained concrete to about 4 to 8 percent entrained air in concrete containing air-entraining admixtures.

FA, sometimes called “sand”, is composed of particles that pass the 4.75 mm (No.4) sieve. CA, or gravel, consists of particles retained on or above 4.75 mm (No.4) sieve. Well-graded aggregate, consisting of a wide range of FA and CA sizes, provides for efficient use of the water/cement paste. Since aggregate makes up most of the mix volume, it should consist of particles with adequate strength and resistance to exposure conditions.

Concrete

Concrete is a construction material that consists, in its most common form, of Portland cement, aggregate (generally gravel and sand) and water.

Concrete solidifies and hardens after mixing and placement due to a chemical process known as hydration. The water reacts with the cement, which hardens, bonding the other components together and eventually creating a stone-like material.

Concrete is used more than any other man made material on the planet. It is used to make pavements, architectural structures, foundations, motorways/roads, overpasses, parking structures, brick/block walls and footings for gates, fences, and poles.

Concrete powers over a $35 billion industry which employs over two million workers in the United States alone. Over 55,000 miles of freeways and highways in America are made of this material. The People’s Republic of China currently consumes approximately 40% of world cement production.

Sustainable Construction

Mastour Ready Mix is one of the major companies operating in the field of construction and reconstruction depends in its work

Mastour ReadyMix aims to lead in sustainable construction by developing building products and solutions that have significant positive sustainability attributes and contribute to the transformation of the construction sector.

Concrete is humanity’s primary building material. It literally provides the foundation, structural support, floors, and walls for much of the infrastructure of modern civilization: from homes, offices, and factories to bridges and runways, dams, and power plants. That infrastructure must and will continue to grow.

By 2050, world population is expected to increase from today’s 6.9 billion to more than 9 billion. Also by 2050, some 70 percent of earth’s population will live in cities, up from 47 percent in 2000. Concrete will be fundamental to providing this burgeoning urban population with housing, energy, transportation, and the many other necessities and enjoyments of life.

Sustainable Benefits of Ready-Mix Concrete

Mastour ReadyMix continuously work to improve the properties of concrete that make it a key component of sustainable construction: durability, resistance to aggressive environments, light reflection, and capacity to store energy, among others.

Mastour ReadyMix also constantly work to develop innovative solutions that advance the sustainability of structures made with concrete. In this way, our customers can design sustainable buildings that can take advantage of the benefits of concrete in a wide range of applications.
