CONCRETING EQUIPMENT Before going to learn about concrete
equipment we have to study the concrete manufacturing steps
All the equipment prominently used in manufacturing process of concrete
Concrete is mixture of cement ,fine aggregate ,and coarse aggregates are in proper portions
A method for producing Portland cement was patented by Joseph Aspdin in 1824.
Reinforced concrete was invented in 1849 by Joseph Monier.

The 'M' denotes 'Mix' followed by a number representing the compressive strength of that mix in N/mm^2. A mix is a specific ratio in which cement, fine(sand) and coarse aggregate(gravel) are mixed.
![Page 5: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CONCRETE PRODUCTION STEPS The various stages of manufacture of
concrete are: (a ) Batching (b) Mixing (c ) Transporting (d placing(e) Compacting (f ) Curing (g) Finishing.
![Page 6: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
BATCHING Batching is the process of measuring
concrete mix ingredients by either mass or volume and introducing them into the mixer .
To produce concrete of uniform quality,
The ingredients must be measured accurately for each batch
![Page 7: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VOLUME BATCHING
![Page 8: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Volume Batching: Volume batching is not a good method for proportioning the material because of the difficulty it offers to measure granular material in terms of volume.
for any small job, concrete may be batched by volume
![Page 9: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This method is generally adopted for small jobs
Gauge boxes are used for measuring the fine and coarse aggregate. •
The volume of gauge box is equal to the volume of one bag of cement.
Gauge box are also called as FARMAS They can be made of timbers or steel. They
are made generally deep and narrow While filling the gauge boxes the material
should be filled loosely, no compaction is allowed.
![Page 10: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Weigh Batching: Weigh batching is the correct method of measuring the materials.
Use of weight system in batching, facilitates accuracy, flexibility and simplicity.
Large weigh batching plants have automatic weighing equipment.
On large work sites, the weigh bucket type of weighing equipment's are used.
![Page 11: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Batching by weight is more preferable to volume batching ,as it is more accurate and leads to more uniform proportioning.
It does not have uncertainties associated with bulking. It’s equipment falls into 2 general categories :
I. Semi automatic, II. Fully automatic.
![Page 12: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In case of semi automatic batching the aggregate bin gates are opened by manually operated switches . And gates are closed automatically when the material has been delivered. This system also contains interlock which prevents charging and discharging
![Page 13: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FULLY AUTOMATIC
![Page 14: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In case of automatic batching the material are electrically activates by a single switch and complete autographic record are made of the weight of each material.
The batching plant comprises 2,3,4 or 6 compartment bins of several capacities.
Over the conveyer belt the weigh batchers discharging are provided below the bins
![Page 15: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MIXING The mixing should be ensure that the mass
becomes Homogeneous , uniform in colour and consistency .
Methods of Mixing : 1.Hands(using hand shovels) 2.Stationary Mixers 3.Ready mix concrete
![Page 16: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HAND MIXING
![Page 17: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HAND MIXING Mixing ingredients of concrete by hands
using ordinary tools like, hand shovels etc. This type of mixing is done for Less output of
concrete.
![Page 18: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CONCRETE MIXERS (STATIONARY) Concrete mixers are two types Free fall mixers Power mixers
Again free fall are two types and power mixers also
Concrete is sometime mixed at jobsite in a stationary mixer having a size of 9 cubic meter
![Page 19: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FREE FALL MIXERS Free fall mixing is suitable for the concrete with 2-inch minimum
slump and are not too hard
This type of mixers are used at site of construction
The drum of freefall mixer can be filled and emptied by changing the direction of rotation
There are two major type namely
TILTING MIXER
REVERSIBLE MIXER
![Page 20: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TILTING MIXER
![Page 21: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TILTING MIXER A concrete mixer is a device that
homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete
It was invented by Gebhardt Jaeger
A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components.
![Page 23: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens
An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.
Major parts are wheel and axes ,Drum(9 cu.m approx) ,engine, tilting hooper
Engine maybe powered by electric, diesel
![Page 24: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Usually, the material is loaded manually into the drum from ground level and the Hooper dumps the material tilting up mechanically
![Page 25: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
REVERSIBLE MIXERS
![Page 26: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

In reversible mixer, The drum has one horizontal axis, around which the drum rotates
There are two openings to the drum, one for loading the material and other for discharging
Usually self loading Self operation Large size unit compared to traditional mixer Major parts, wheel barrow, tilting hopper, self
and loaders ( bucket) Electric operated and diesel operated

POWER MIXERS Pan mixer is a type of mixer which has a
fixed pan or removable tub with a vertical mixer unit in it as opposed to a typical cement mixer which has a horizontal rotating barrel with fixed beaters.
A mixer filled through an opening at its top; for concrete, usually a pan or drum within which mixing blades revolve about the vertical axis;
for mortar, usually a trough within which mixing paddles revolve about the horizontal axis.
![Page 32: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Some concrete batching plants use a large pan mixer to pre mix the concrete before it is loaded into mixer trucks(Transit mixer in USA) to be delivered to site.
British company Liner introduced the first Pan Mixer design in 1924
major parts are rotating drum and paddles and cap
These electrically operated

READY MIXED CONCRETE Ready mixed concrete is proportioned and
mixed off at the project site and is delivered to the construction area in a freshly mixed and unhardened state. It can be manufactured by any of the following methods:
1.Central-mixed concrete 2.Truck-mixed concrete
![Page 35: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

COMPACTION OF CONCRETE Compaction of concrete is process adopted
for expelling the entrapped air from the concrete
In the process of mixing , transporting and placing of concrete air is likely to get entrapped in the concrete .
It has been found from the experimental studies that 1% air in the concrete approximately reduces the strength by 6%.
If we don’t expel this air, it will result into honeycombing and reduced strength
![Page 50: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Different Methods Of Concrete Compaction 1) Hand Compaction Roding,
Ramming ,Tamping 2) Compaction by Vibration
![Page 51: construction equipment and agreegate production equipment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58ac3b551a28ab145e8b623f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
HAND COMPACTION Hand compaction is used for ordinary and unimportant
structures. Workability should be decided in such a way that the chances of honeycombing should be minimum. The various methods of hand compaction are as given below
Roding It is a method of poking with 2m long, 16 mm dia. rod at sharp corners and edges. The thickness of layers for rodding should be 15 to 20 cm.
Ramming • It is generally used for compaction on ground in plain concrete. It is not used either in RCC or on upper floors.
Tamping • It is a method in which the top surface is beaten by wooden cross beam of cross section 10 cm x 10 cm. both compaction and leveling are achieved simultaneously. It is mainly used for roof slabs and road pavements.

VIBRATION Vibration is imparted to the concrete by
mechanical means. It causes temporary liquefaction so that air bubbles come on to the top and expelled ultimately. Mechanical vibration can be of various types as given under.
Internal Vibration It is most commonly used technique of concrete vibration.
We follow different methods in vibration External Vibration Table Vibration

CURING Curing is the process in which
the concrete is protected from loss of moisture and kept within a reasonable temperature range. The result of this process is increased strength and decreased permeability. Curing is also a key player in mitigating cracks in the concrete, which severely impacts durability.
