Ultrafine Cement




Grouting is a universal repair and strengthening technique, which is constantly used for structural remediation of concrete components, trenches, mine subsidence, dam joints, restoration of masonry structures and geological stabilizations. Having an extremely small particle size of only few microns, ultrafine cements are ideal for grouting applications due to their superior permeability and compressive strength properties of the hardened cement paste compared to that of the less-expensive, but coarser ordinary Portland cements.

Ultra-fine cements produced on the basis of Portland cement are much finer than ordinary cement and have a steep grading curve. It’s a cementitious grouting material that were initially developed as a replacement for unacceptably toxic chemical grouts for Civil Engineering applications. This cement mainly composed of ultrafine particles of slag and portland that exhibits excellent penetrability, strength and durability suitable for squeeze cementing of oilwell matrices, especially for gas (GOR) and water (WOR) control.

They are especially suited for rock and soil injection but nowadays also for filling and sealing of cracks in concrete.Several basic types are available: Ultrafine slag cement (Ml), Ultrafineportland cement (M3) and Ultrafine portland/slag (M5). M5 consists of a blend of ultrafine portland and slag cements. M1 is 100 percent ultrafine slag and M3 is 100 percent ultrafine portland. Because of its very slow hardening reaction, M1 cannot be used alone below 20 degree Celsius and must be used with at least 25 percent portland to initiate the hardening reaction. M1 may be used alone above 20 degree Celsius because higher oilwell temperatures initiate the slag hardening reaction especially with small amounts of sodium hydroxide.The ultrafine particle cement has 60 to 80% by volume of particles having a particle diameter of 1 to 5 μm in powder form of the cement.

It is used for pre- and post-excavation grouting, water cut-off grouting, dam grout curtain, soil consolidation and stabilization of structure foundation.

#Vastu For Home – Wall Clock

Image
Wall clock vastu is what most of us don’t pay attention but it is important as well. Generally what we usually do for hanging clock?   We all find suitable wall which is seen easily and hang or place the clock on it but if you following vastuthis is not the correct way. Some guidelines must be followed. Let’s swoop into the learning of wall clock vastu. Ø   It should be placed on North or East walls. Hanging in north brings wealth. Ø   Placing pendulum clocks in Eastern side is considered good. Ø   Clock must be hanged inside the house. Ø   Practices should be developed of cleaning wall clocks. Ø   To keep clocks at correct time or 1-2 minutes ahead of correct time. Ø   Non-working clocks should be replaced immediately. Ø   You can place a clock in West too but that should be the last option. Ø   In bedroom, try to place the wall clock such that you can see it right from the bed when you wake up. Ø   Do not place...

Thermal Bridging in Building

Image
Thermal bridging is the movement of heat across an object that is more conductive than the materials around it. The conductive material creates a path of least resistance for heat. Thermal bridging can be a major source of energy loss in homes and buildings, leading to higher utility bills. Thermal bridging generally occur when there is a break in or penetration of the building envelope. Thermal bridging can occur by the junctions between the wall and floor, the junctions between the wall and roof, holes in the building envelope for pipes and cables, window and door revels and sheet wall ties used in masonry construction. It can increase the risk of condensation on internal surfaces and even cause interstitial condensation within walls and other building elements. Condensation forms when the interior temperature dips well below the dew point and moisture in warm air condenses into water droplets on cooler surfaces. In addition to heat transfer, if the indoor environment ...
