What are the effects of non potable water on concrete quality?
Non potable water can chemicals such as Chlorides, Sulfates and Alkalies which can chemically attack the concrete.
What do you call solid material washed away upstream and deposited downstream?
Silt
What is silt trap?
A silt trap is a designated area where water that is contaminated with suspended sediment as a result of construction activity or water runoff is contained. While the water is in a silt trap, the sediment can settle to the bottom of the trap until it can be removed.
Can rice be grown in silt soil?
yes rice can be grown in silt or silty soil because it retains water and it provides nutrients to rice.
What type of concrete should you use when making a concrete bench?
The best concrete for making a concrete bench is Bench concrete.
If you mix silt clay and water what dirty substance will it make?
concrete
What is the Is code of silt content?
The IS code for the determination of silt content in fine aggregates is IS: 2386 (Part 1) - 1963. This standard specifies the method for determining the silt content in the fine aggregate for concrete.
How much percent of silt content in for concrete maximum?
For River Sand Not more than 8%
Will happen to the strength of the concrete if impurities such as clay and silt occur in the sand?
The impurities like clay and silt in sand can reduce the strength of concrete by weakening the bond between the cement and aggregates. This can lead to an increase in voids in the concrete mixture, reducing its structural integrity and overall durability. It is important to use clean and well-graded sand to maintain the desired strength of the concrete.
Are there any positive effects from floods?
Just depositing new silt on the riverbanks.
What is silt used for?
Silt is commonly used in construction and agriculture. In construction, it can be used as a building material for brick-making or as a component in mortar mix. In agriculture, silt can improve soil fertility and water retention when mixed into the soil.
Why underestimate the resistance of concrete to such a large extent when you design concrete columns?
The designers calculate the potential effects of cracking on the concrete columns.
What are the effects of adding eggshell in the mixture of concrete?
texture
What is engineering significance of sand silt content?
Actually it changes ratio of cement to the other contents of concrete (Sand and crush). However an optimum percentage of cement sand and crush is decided by trial casting of concrete
What is concrete super P?
Super P stands for super plasticizers. They are a chemical admixture added to the concrete to make the concrete extremely workable. The effects of super P are only temporary (15-60minutes). Its effects are reduced in high temperatures.
