When it reacts with concrete, it causes the slab to expand, lifting, distorting and cracking as well as exerting a pressure onto the surrounding walls which can cause movements significantly weakening the structure. Some infill materials frequently encountered in building fondations and causing sulfate attack are the following: [2] Red Ash
To attempt to simplify and to stylize a very complex set of various reactions, the whole ASR reaction, after its complete evolution (ageing process) in the presence of sufficient Ca 2+ cations available in solution, could be compared to the pozzolanic reaction which would be catalysed by the undesirable presence of excessive concentrations of alkali hydroxides (NaOH and KOH) in the concrete.
In this process, the steps of raw material processing, fuel preparation, clinker burning and cement grinding constitute major emission sources for particulate components. While particulate emissions of up to 3,000 mg/m 3 were measured leaving the stack of cement rotary kiln plants as recently as in the 1960s, legal limits are typically 30 mg/m ...
High-pressure chemistry is concerned with those chemical processes that are carried out under high pressure – pressures in the thousands of bars (100 kPa) or higher.High-pressure processes are generally faster and have a higher conversion efficiency than processes at ambient pressure.
Here's a step-by-step overview: Surface Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean and free of debris, oil, surface coatings and other contaminants. Application: Apply Ashford Formula with a low-pressure, high-volume sprayer at 200 ft 2 /gal (5 m 2 /L), creating a flood coat. Agitate the surface with fine-bristled brooms to help penetration.
Whereas the reference Portland cement concrete had "total destruction after about 16 Bache method cycles, in line with Bache's own observations for high-strength concrete"; [24] [35] EMC high performance concrete showed a "consistent high-level durability" throughout the entire testing period of 80 Bache cycles, with for example, "practically ...
Pressure grouting or jet grouting [1] involves injecting a grout material into otherwise inaccessible but interconnected pore or void space of which neither the configuration or volume are known, and is often referred to simply as grouting. The grout may be a cementitious, resinous, or solution chemical mixture. Some types of injected grout may ...
Robotic Hydrodemolition in Folkestone, UK. Hydrodemolition of concrete exposing the rebar.. Hydrodemolition (also known as hydro demolition, hydroblasting, hydro blasting, hydromilling, waterblasting, and waterjetting) is a concrete removal technique which utilizes high-pressure water, often containing an abrasive material, to remove deteriorated and sound concrete as well as asphalt and grout.
