What else can I help you with?
Can you apply wet concrete to dry concrete?
Yes, you can. You should clean the dry concrete with water and a brush first, and you should use a bonding agent (available pretty much anywhere you buy concrete) for optimal adhesion. You may also wish to add reinforcement such as rebar.
Should a sidewalk be made of cement or concrete?
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
What is injection grouting?
Grout is a material used to fill voids in concrete or tile structure. Grouting or Injection Grouting or Pressure Grouting invariably means the process of injecting grout into isolated pores or voids in a concrete or tile structure.Eg:- Injection grouting in a concrete water storage tank.
How thick should concrete walls be to hold 10000 gallons of water?
It depends on the depth of the water. The hydrostatic pressure increases with depth.
What is water to cement ratio?
Water/cement ratio law states that the strength of concrete is only dependent upon water/cement ratio provided the mix is workable.Strength of concrete primarily depends upon the strength of cement paste.Similarly, the strength of the paste increases with cement content and decreases with air and water content.
What holds back water for storage?
Earth or concrete/steel dams.
Why does concrete float?
Concrete does not float naturally in water; it is denser than water. However, when concrete objects such as boats or platforms float on water, it is typically due to buoyancy provided by a hollow structure or trapped air pockets within the concrete. This buoyant force can make the overall concrete object less dense than water, causing it to float.
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.
Will concrete pool cave in without water for a few weeks?
no, provided there is not a high water table. It can stay empty for 2-3 months
Should you use salt water to mix concrete?
It is not recommended to use salt water to mix concrete as it can cause corrosion of metal reinforcements within the concrete, leading to structural issues over time. It is best to use fresh water for mixing concrete.
What should be the temperature of water in a vented storage vessel should be?
60
How much water should be added per bag of concrete?
Typically, one bag of concrete requires about 2.5 to 3 quarts of water for proper mixing.
What should I clean concrete floors with?
You should clean concrete floors with a mixture of warm water and a mild detergent. Scrub the floor with a stiff brush or mop, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the concrete.
Why storage heaters contain concrete blocks though the specific heat capacity of concrete's lower than water?
Because water is a fluid so heat can transfer by convection to the surface of the radiator can be 'radiated' into the room very quickly. Concrete is an aerated solid so can't do this, and is a very poor conductor, so loses its heat a lot more slowly. The concrete bricks are also aerated, and air is an even poorer conductor than concrete.
What are 4 resources provided by a habitat?
Food, water, shelter, and space are four key resources provided by a habitat for the organisms living there. These resources support the survival and reproduction of the species within the ecosystem.
What is Most important component to determine the strength of a concrete mix?
The concrete mix should be a 5:1 Cement to water ratio. make sure you mix thoroughly when adding water. Look up "Concrete slump test"
According to you which material is best for overhead water storage tank?
If you want to have overhead water storage tank for small capacity, then you should definitely go for PVC tank.
