Their addition allows to decrease the water-to-cement ratio of concrete or mortar without negatively affecting the workability of the mixture. It enables the production of self-consolidating concrete and high-performance concrete. The water–cement ratio is the main factor determining the concrete strength and its durability. Superplasticizers ...
The parts are in terms of weight – not volume. For example, 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete would be made using 22 lb (10.0 kg) cement, 10 lb (4.5 kg) water, 41 lb (19 kg) dry sand, 70 lb (32 kg) dry stone (1/2" to 3/4" stone). This would make 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete and would weigh about 143 lb (65 kg). The sand should be ...
The fleet of Vulcan printers can produce eight different floor plans of 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 baths. [22] A concrete feeding system known as Magma supplies the Vulcan printer with Icon's developed concrete mix known as Lavacrete, which can adjust for site weather conditions and supply read-to-print concrete automatically.
