Chapter 1-Concrete Basic Knowledge

This document provides an overview of concrete and pumpable concrete. It discusses that concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregate, water, and admixtures. The main classifications of concrete are based on density, slump, and strength. Pumpable concrete must be able to pass through pipelines smoothly without segregation or blockage. Common applications include using concrete below C25 for foundations and floors 1-6, C25-C35 for columns and walls up to 30 floors, and stronger concretes for larger structures.

1. Concrete overview Professional Concrete Machinery Manufacturer

1.1 concrete concept

Concrete is a mixture of cementitious materials and


aggregate, which is formed by mixing, pouring and
hardening.

1.2 Concrete ingredients fine aggregate:


coarse aggregate:
Stone （ grain size sand （ grain size:
Concrete is a mixture of
0.16 ～ 5mm ）
aggregate, cement, water, >5mm ） .
The volume of aggregate is 70%-80% in concrete.
admixture and admixture.

Cement is a kind of powdery cementitious


material, at present the Portland cement use the
most.

Water ： Meet local national


standards.

Admixture ： Mainly Water reducing agent,


accelerating agent etc.

2. Pumpable concrete and application Professional Concrete Machinery Manufacturer

2.1 Pumpable concrete

 Ideal concrete ： Coarse aggregate, medium


aggregate,
small aggregate and fine aggregate are filled in turn by
size , the remaining gap is filled with cementitious
materials .
 Pumpable concrete ： It can pass through the pipeline
smoothly, with small friction resistance, no segregation,
no blockage and good viscoplastic properties.

 The pumpability influence factors : mix design,


workability and materials.

2.2 The common applications

 < C25 ： suitable for foundation, under layer, 1-6 floors

 C25-C35 ： column, wall, small girder , plate, 7-30 floors ；

 > C35 ： large girder, tower , plate;

 > C60 ： foundation of skyscraper 、 foundation of huge bridge ， above 30

floors.
