Characteristics of Lightweight Concrete1. Thermal insulation2. Fire insulation3. Durability4. Rain penetration5. Acoustic properties6. Water absorption
Thermal insulationThermal insulation efficiency is defined as resistance to heat flow either through conduction, or radiation.Lightweight concrete has a high heat insulation resistance.such as porous concrete walls 150mm to provide four times better insulation than 225mm thick brick wall.
G.GUNA SRVEC 11
Fire insulationa) combustible materials - such as organic woodb) a non-combustible materials - such as non-organic
materials such as stone, bricks, rocks and other.
DurabilityIt is defined as the ability to bear the effects of environment such as the effects of chemical, physical stress and mechanical effects. The intended effect of the chemical, including ground water containing sulfate, air pollution and reactive liquid spills.Physical stress is the shrinkage, the stresses of temperature, cooled, and others. If all the physical stress will cause cracks in the structure of lightweight concrete.Mechanical effect is the impact and costs are excessive. The situation in the steel structure unit should be protected from rusting.
G.GUNA SRVEC 12
Water absorption Absorption water by the concrete is high and more than that found in solid concrete. This is because the lightweight concrete has holes in it.
Penetration of rain waterIt is an important element to the wall
Acoustic properties
The key factor is the density of the sound insulation material. Therefore, for sound insulation, lightweight concrete can not show the desired characteristics.
G.GUNA SRVEC 13
ADVANTAGESi) rapid and relatively simple constructionii) Economical in terms of transportation as well as reduction in manpoweriii) Significant reduction of overall weight results in saving structuralframes, footing or pilesiv) Most of lightweight concrete have better nailing and sawing properties than heavier and stronger conventional concrete
DISADVANTAGESi) Very sensitive with water content in the mixturesii) Difficult to place and finish because of the porosity andangularity of the aggregate. In some mixes the cement mortar mayseparate the aggregate and float towards the surfaceiii) Mixing time is longer than conventional concrete to assureproper mixing

HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
HISTORY OF CONCRETE:The word concrete comes from the Latin word "concretus"
Which means compact or condensed.
German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found concrete floors, which were made of lime and pebbles, in the royal palace of Tiryns, Greece, which dates roughly to 1400-1200 BC.
G.GUNA SRVEC 16
INTRODUCTION TO CONCRETE:
A building material made from a mixture of broken stone or gravel, sand, cement, and water,which can be poured into moulds and forms a stone-like mass on hardening.
It is strong in compression and very weak in tension.
TYPES OF CONCRETE:1) Normal concrete 5) Self Compacting Concrete
2) High Strength Concrete 6) Shotcrete
3) Air Entrained Concrete 7) High Performance Concrete
4) Light Weight Concrete
G.GUNA SRVEC 17
HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE:
High-strength concrete has a compressive strength greater than 40 MPa.
High strength concrete is made by lowering the water cement (W/C) ratio to 0.35 or lower.
Due to low w/c ratio it causes problem of placing ,to overcome from this super plasticizer used.
Materials for High-Strength Concrete: Cement:
•Almost any ASTM portland cement type can be used to obtain concrete with compresive strength up to 60 MPa.
• In order to obtain higher strength mixtures while maintaining good workability, it is necessary to study carefully the cement composition and fineness.
G.GUNA SRVEC 18
Aggregate:
In high-strength concrete, the aggregate plays an important role on the strength
of concrete.
The low-water to cement ratio used in high strength concrete causes densification in both the matrix and interfacial transition
zone, and the aggregate may become the weak link in the development of the mechanical strength
Methods Of Making HSC:Use Of AdmixtureUse Of Cementitious AggSeedingHigh Speed Slurry Mixing
G.GUNA SRVEC 19
Guidelines for the selection of materials:The higher the targeted compressive strength, the smaller the
maximum size of coarse aggregate. Up to 70 Mpa compressive strength can be produced with a
good coarse aggregate of a maximum size ranging from 20 to 28 mm. •
To produce 100 Mpa compressive strength aggregate with a maximum size of 10 to 20 mm should be used.
APPLICATION OF HSC:Use of HSC in column section decreases the column size.Use of HSC in column decreases amount of steel required for
same column.In high rise building, use of HSC increases the floor area for
rental purpose.In bridges , use of HSC reduces the number of beams
supporting the slab.

WHAT IS FERRO CEMENT ?
“Ferro cement is a type of thin wall reinforced concrete, commonly constructed of hydraulic cement mortar, reinforced with closely spaced layers of continuous and relatively small size wire mesh. The mesh may be made of metallic or other suitable materials.”
Mortar provides the mass and wire mesh imparts tensile strength and ductility.
When building Ferro-cement structures the sand/cement mortar is applied to the reinforcing wire with a trowel, never poured like common concrete work. Often a form is used to provide the desired shape.
Ferrocement is a super reinforced concrete. It differs from conventional concrete in that there is a higher ratio of steel to cement mortar. By altering the cement/steel ratio to make ferrocement we actually produce a material, which exhibits properties, superior to either steel or cement separately. Ferrocement has many of the properties of steel and yet it will not rust. Although it looks and feels like concrete it can flex without cracking.

Ready Mix Concrete “Ready mix concrete is concrete whose components are proportioned
away from the construction site for delivery to the construction site by the truck in a ready-to-use-condition.”
G.GUNA SRVEC 30
HistoryIn 1909, the residents of Sneridan, Wyoming could have
witnessed the birth of Ready Mix concrete industry.
Prior to World War I, concrete was produced in stationery plant mixer hauled to construction sites in dumps trucks.
Need for Ready Mix concrete
Requirement for higher grades of concreteCorrect accountability ingredientsRapid development of infrastructure industryIncreased demand of concretePossibility of manufacture of desired gradesMega project demands higher output Timely supply of reliable concrete
G.GUNA SRVEC 31
Advantages Of Ready Mix Concrete Quality assurance Elimination of manual errors Mass production of concrete possible Water cement ratio maintained Reduced material wastage Labour cost saved Design mix as per IS standards resulting in standard deviation and
improved characteristics.
Disadvantages The materials are batched at a central plant, and the mixing begins at
that plant Generation of additional road traffic; furthermore, access roads, and
site access have to be able to carry the weight of the truck and load. Concrete's limited time span between mixing and going-off

FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETEConcrete containing a hydraulic cement, water , aggregate, and
discontinuous discrete fibers is called fiber reinforced concrete.
Fibers can be in form of steel fiber, glass fiber, natural fiber , synthetic
fiber.
Benefits Main role of fibers is to bridge the cracks that develop in concrete and increase the ductility of concrete elements. Improvement on Post-Cracking behavior of concreteImparts more resistance to Impact loadcontrols plastic shrinkage cracking and drying shrinkage crackingLowers the permeability of concrete matrix and thus reduce the bleeding of water
G.GUNA SRVEC 33
Factors affecting the Properties of FRC Volume of fibersAspect ratio of fiberOrientation of fiberRelative fiber matrix stiffness
Volume of fiber Low volume fraction (less than 1%)
◦ Used in slab and pavement that have large exposed surface leading to high shrinkage cracking
Moderate volume fraction(between 1 and 2 percent)◦ Used in Construction method such as Shortcrete & in Structures which
requires improved capacity against delamination, spalling & fatigue High volume fraction(greater than 2%)
◦ Used in making high performance fiber reinforced composites (HPFRC)
G.GUNA SRVEC 34
Aspect Ratio of fiberIt is defined as ratio of length of fiber to it’s diameter (L/d).Increase in the aspect ratio upto 75,there is increase in relative strength and toughness.Beyond 75 of aspect ratio there is decrease in aspect ratio and toughness.
Orientation of fibers Aligned in the direction of load Aligned in the direction perpendicular to load Randomly distribution of fibers
◦ It is observed that fibers aligned parallel to applied load offered more tensile strength and toughness than randomly distributed or perpendicular fibers.
Relative fiber matrix Modulus of elasticity of matrix must be less than of fibers for efficient stress transfer.Low modulus of fibers imparts more energy absorption while high modulus fibers imparts strength and stiffness.Low modulus fibers e.g. Nylons and Polypropylene fibersHigh modulus fibers e.g. Steel, Glass, and Carbon fibers

ReinforcementSprayed concrete is reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, and/or fibers. Fiber reinforcement (steel or synthetic) is also used for stabilization in applications such as slopes or tunneling.
G.GUNA SRVEC 44
Shotcrete vs. Conventional Concrete
conventional concrete is first placed and then compacted in the second operation.shotcrete undergoes placement and compaction at the same time.Shotcrete is more dense, homogeneous, strong, and waterproof .It can be impacted onto any type or shape of surface, including vertical or overhead areas
Classification of Shotcrete
1. Dry process 2. Wet processDry process:
Step1: Pre blended, dry or semi-dampened materials are placed into shotcrete equipment and metered into a hose.Step2: Compressed air conveys materials at high velocity to the nozzle where the water is added.Step3: Then the material is consolidated on receiving surface by high impact velocity.
G.GUNA SRVEC 45
Advantages of Dry process:
Easy start up, shutdown and clean up.Control of materials is on site.Nozzle man can be up to 1000ft horizontally or 500ft vertically from the gun.
Wet process:Step1: All ingredients, including water, are thoroughly mixed and introduced into the shotcrete equipment.Step 2: Wet material is pumped to the nozzle where compressed air is introducedStep 3: Mostly wet-process shotcreting is done with premixed mortar or small aggregate concrete.
Advantages
Little or no formwork is required.Cost effective method for placing concrete.Ideal for irregular surface applicationsAllows for easier material handling in areas with difficult access
