Which Property Of Chalk is responsible for absorption of water?
porosity
PH of water for making concrete?
The pH of water for making concrete is 6 to 8.The water should be free from organic matters.Sea water should not be used for making concrete.Potable water is used for making concrete.
What is water absorption capacity?
Ability of a product (ex. flour) to absorb/incorporate water.
Difference between contaminant adsorption and absorption in saturated ground water?
Contaminant adsorption is the variety of contaminants in the environment. Absorption in saturated ground water is the process that is used to get rid of pollution from groundwater.
Is concrete a heterogenous mixture?
concrete is heterogeneous mixture. Ingredients in concrete are cement, sand, aggregates,and water. These are mixed based on mix design.
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
Is concrete building block a solution?
yes it is because there are more than mixtures in concrete example there is water in concrete so yes the there are more than 2 substances thatis mixed so a concrete block is a solution.
What are the ingredients for concrete solid block?
Concrete block is made from Portland Cement, water, sand and aggregate. The aggregate may be in the form of flyash or cinder from burnt coal.
Why does a concrete canoe float but a concrete block sink?
The block isn't aerodynamic, so it sinks. The boat, no matter what it's constructed with, will be able to float if it's in a shape that will be aerodynamic in water.
What is the definition of structurally sound when dealing with concrete floors?
No cracks or loose pieces, and no water problems.
Can a concrete boat float?
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
What is the weight of a standard concrete masonry block?
The dry weight of a medium density concrete block (215 x 450 x 100mm thick) is approximately 7.5Kg --- There are many different sizes, shapes and mixes used to make concrete block. Additionally the weight varies if the unit is wet or not since they absorb water. I see varying weights of 35 to 55 pounds for 8x8x16 block.
What is water absorption?
The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.
Can cement bricks and concrete bricks be used together in the same wall construction?
I think that they can, if they are both used correctly, the cement and concrete bricks can be put together in the same wall construction. :) <><><> I think you need to define some words. Concrete is made by mixing portland cement, water, and sand/crushed stone. There ARE no "cement bricks" Traditional bricks are made by mixing clay, shale, and water, and baking them in a kiln (oven) at high temperatures. And yes, regular clay brick and concrete brick/ block are frequently both used in a wall. Together.
What is absorption of water?
The taking in of water.
What is hydration and fluid absorption?
As the name suggests,hydra refers to water and hence hydration means absorption of water and fluid absorption means absorption of any liquid or gas. lol
What type of soil allows water to filter without absorption?
Yeah, so of water simply filter without absorption.
