Frontline Chief Engineer Talks about Concrete Production and Construction under High Temperature Weather

The rationality of mix design is based on a certain quality of raw materials, theoretical calculations, and multiple trial mixes to meet the process of strength, construction performance, workability, durability, and economic performance.

This also requires concrete designers to fully understand the factors that affect strength, the conditions that affect construction and work performance, the weight of durability and cost, and to choose raw materials reasonably and selectively.

But often the mixing plant needs to meet the performance requirements of the concrete based on the materials used, without any selectivity, which forces the design to meet the requirements but is difficult to achieve.

The influence of physical properties of sand on the quality of concrete

The different forms of clay in sand have varying impacts on concrete.

If clay is wrapped around the surface of the aggregate, it will be detrimental to the bonding between the aggregate and cement, affecting the strength and durability of the concrete; If clay exists in loose particle form, due to its fine particles and large surface area, it will increase the water consumption of concrete.

Especially the unstable volume of clay, which shrinks when dry and expands when wet, can have a destructive effect on the dry and wet volume changes of concrete.

Overall, when the mud content of sand exceeds the standard, it will have adverse effects on the strength, shrinkage and creep, frost resistance, and abrasion resistance of concrete.

How to define responsibility for quality problems in concrete

Once a concrete quality accident occurs, although often the disadvantaged concrete enterprises suffer losses.

The reason for this phenomenon is that most concrete companies have the phenomenon of advance payment.

If there are quality problems, regardless of whether the concrete company recognizes them or not, the construction unit will directly deduct money.

Secondly, the market competition is fierce, and concrete companies want to continue supplying concrete, fearing losing the market.

But when there is a concrete quality accident, it is also necessary to clarify the responsibility.

Spread Anchor

According to the provisions of “Ready mixed Concrete” (GB/T14902-2012), delivery inspection should be carried out, which is the boundary line for defining responsibility.

The specific principle of responsibility can refer to the following points and analyze specific issues on a case by case basis.

Precast concrete structure houses: the mainstream innovative solution for green construction

In the current context of building industrialization and the deep implementation of dual carbon goals, precast concrete structures (PC structures) have replaced traditional cast-in-place structures and become the mainstream choice for domestic housing construction projects.

PVC Chamfer

Different from the traditional mode of on-site formwork and cast-in-place pouring, it takes “factory prefabrication, on-site assembly, and node cast-in-place molding” as the core logic, completely reconstructs the construction process, and realizes the leapfrog transformation of construction engineering from “construction site construction” to “industrial manufacturing”.

It is the core carrier of green building and intelligent construction.

Frequent occurrence of concrete diseases in summer? By doing these three things well, the construction quality can be steadily implemented

More than 90% of concrete quality accidents in high temperature weather are caused by inadequate implementation of cooling, curing, and crack prevention work.

High temperature itself is not a construction problem, standardized construction control under high temperature is the key to quality control.

The following are the three core control points:.

Quality Control Plan for the Whole Process of Slope Roof Concrete Construction (with a Focus on Preventing Cracking)

The core difference between sloping roof and horizontal floor concrete construction lies in the existence of slope slip stress on the slope surface, which makes the concrete prone to sliding, segregation, and settlement due to its own weight.

The surface layer loses water faster and shrinks unevenly, making it prone to quality problems such as slope cracks, honeycomb and rough surfaces, sanding, hollowing, and steel bar displacement; The horizontal floor slab is uniformly stressed, the concrete forming is stable, and it is not easy to slip.

Cast In Plate

In response to the above differences, special control measures will be implemented for the entire process of steel reinforcement binding, formwork erection, concrete transportation, formwork insertion, vibration, leveling, finishing, and curing.

The core goal is to strictly control the cracking of roof concrete, ensure the overall integrity and waterproof durability of the structure.
