Investigation of concrete produced using recycled

Jun 01, 2016In hot weather concreting, with the use of conventional concrete, the water content present in it evaporates at a faster rate, thereby accelerating the initial and final setting times . Since the concrete produced using aluminium wastes retards the initial and final setting times, it proves to be beneficial under hot weather concreting conditions. Get price

How Wildfires Work

Weather plays a major role in the birth, growth and death of a wildfire. Drought leads to extremely favorable conditions for wildfires, and winds aid a wildfire's progress -- weather can spur the fire to move faster and engulf more land. It can also make the job of fighting the fire even more difficult. Get price

Impact of Hot Cement on the Concrete Mix

Temperature affects fresh and hardened properties of concrete as well as the thermal cracking potential. Careful attention must be paid to batch temperatures in hot and cold weather concreting. However, as evidenced by the graph below, the relative effect of hot cement on the batch temperature is negligible. Get price

Hot weather construction procedures involve keeping masonry materials as cool as possible and preventing excessive water loss from the mortar. Specific hot weather requirements of the Specification for Masonry Structures (ref. 3) are shown in Tables 2a and 2b. Additional Recommendations. Store masonry materials in a shaded area. Get price

Hot Weather Concreting

In hot weather, as the cement sets up, slump decreases rapidly and more mixing water is needed. This can also contribute to lower strengths (as much as another 10% lower), and in integrally colored concrete, can lead to variations in water content which can result in significant differences in concrete color between adjacent pours.

How to Compost: Hot and Cold Methods

Hot, or Active Composting. The quickest way to produce rich garden humus is to create a hot, or active, compost pile. It is called "hot" because it can reach an internal temperature of 160F (140F is best) and "active" because it destroys, essentially by cooking, weed seeds and disease-causing organisms. Get price

Which Direction Should a Ceiling Fan Rotate?

During Hot Summer Weather . To help produce a comfortable breeze or 'windchill' that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a 'reverse' counter-clockwise motion. The air movement has the same comfortable effect as when you fan yourself with a magazine to get relief from hot, stifling air. Get price

Placing concrete at reduced ambient temperatures, such as night placements, can significantly ease the problems related to hot weather concreting. Mass concreting during hot weather can be extremely challenging and is the scope of a future article. Proper curing is extremely important to reduce cracking. Get price

How to Pour Concrete in Hot Weather

Jul 22, 2019The cooler the concrete, the longer this process takes and the more time the crystals have to strengthen. When the concrete is hotter, the crystallization process happens more quickly, giving the crystals less time to strengthen. Evaporation also can have a negative effect on the surface layer of the concrete. Get price
