CONCRETING BY VOLUME BATCHING AT SITE ....

HOW  WE   DO   CONCRETE   BY   VOLUME   BATCHING  AT SITE ....

There are two methods of batching of concrete

1) By weigh  batching- In which all the ingredients of concrete like cementitious , coarse, fine aggregate, water and admixture when discharge ( inlined bins to bucket / belt, silos to cement hopper,admixture from tank to admixture jar and water from water tank to water hopper ) is weight by suitable equipment generally known as Load cell is known as weigh batching, which is very accurate method with permissible variation is known as weigh batching.


2) By volume batching - It is a type of batching in which all the material is measure  in volume , generally use in the area where it is impossible to go more manpower and where quantity of concrete is less ,Volume batching is generally done by a farma volume of this farma must be kept equal to volume of one cement bag .


Let start with one example :

we  want to made M15 grade of concrete at site    

We know  ratio of ingredients in M15 concrete is   1:2:4

where   1 is    cement
             2 is    Fine aggregate
             4 is    Coarse aggregate. 




First  of  all we  make a  farma   having  volume same as volume of  one   bag   of   cement


Let we assume  length of  farma  0.30 m, breath of farma also  0.30 m .

Than height of pharma 
                           
                  0.3*0.3*H = 0.035 ( 0.035 is volume of one bag of cement)
                  0.09 H = 0.035
                          H = 0.035 /0.09
                              = 0.38 m

so we got Length breath height of farma  after this we make farma which volume is same as one bag of cement.

As volume of farma same as cement so it is full by one bag of cement

We want to make M 15 grade of concrete by volume batching at site

Than cement quantity for one measurement is  1 bag   (as volume of pharma is 0.035 m3 i.e 35 ltr meaning is if we fill farma  with cement it will be fully filled  by 1 bag of cement)


Fine aggregate is  twice of cement volume  i.e   35*2 = 70 ltr ( i.e two bucket of farma)
corase agrregate is 4th time of cement volume i.e 35*4 = 140 ltr ( i.e Four bucket of farma)


35 ltr+70 ltr +140 ltr   = 245 ltrs

i.e in one measurement we make 245 ltr = 0.245 m3  concrete so we make four more measurement for making 1 m3 of concrete.


we can also make calculation for admixture and water also by measuring jar .

let water cement ratio is  0.60

Than water quantity is = 30 kg i.e 30 ltr for 1 measurement of farma .( specific gravity of water 1)

let admixture dose is 1%   cement weight in kg 50*1/100 = 0.5 kg = 500gm

500gm is divide by  admixture specific gravity( 1.1) for volume batching = 454 ml


so for 1 measurement quantity of material

cement = 0.035 m3= one bag of cement
sand   =70 ltr
coarse aggregate = 140 ltr
water  =  30 ltr

adx  = 454 ml

  2. There are many ways in which homeowners can combine their solar garden light with newer decorative concrete areas in their yard. With all of the new types of decorative concrete available, there is no reason why homeowners should not highlight it with solar garden light. Solar garden light can light a walkway, a pathway, a garden, and a driveway. Concrete Lincoln
