J-Ring Test: Assessing SCC Flowability and Passing Ability The J-ring test evaluates the ability of self-consolidating concrete/self compacting concrete (SCC) to flow through obstacles, often alongside the slump flow test. SCC is placed in a mold without vibration or tamping. When the mold is lifted, the concrete flows through the J-ring. The flow diameter is measured in two perpendicular directions, and their average gives the J-ring flow. A separate slump flow test determines the difference, indicating the SCC’s passing ability. This test measures three parameters: flow spread (deformation due to reinforcement bars), flow time (speed of flow over a set distance), and blocking step (degree of obstruction). It is useful in laboratories for comparing SCC mixtures and in the field for quality control, ensuring consistent workability and performance. video rights : Respective owners DM for removal/credits #scc #quality #construction #civilengineering #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

Efficient shoring with vertical grooved channels and excavator-attached systems: Streamlining pipe encasing with precision and safety. Shoring using vertical grooved channel systems involves installing sturdy channels vertically into the ground to support excavation sites. Large planks are then placed between these channels to create a secure encasement for pipes. Operators enhance efficiency by employing systems attached to excavators, such as plucking and driving mechanisms. These systems facilitate precise placement and driving of the channel systems into the ground, reducing manual effort and increasing safety. The integration of excavator-attached tools streamlines the shoring process, ensuring stability and proper alignment of the encasement while minimizing excavation-related risks. video rights : Heroexcavator (IG) #shoring #excavator #construction #civilengineering #civilconstruction #buildings #engineering #engineer #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

Cool Down Your Concrete: How Crushed Ice Enhances Strength and Workability Crushed ice is added to concrete primarily to manage its temperature, especially in hot weather. It helps lower the mix temperature, which slows down the setting process and reduces the risk of thermal cracking. This is crucial for maintaining workability and ensuring the concrete remains manageable during placement. Additionally, proper temperature control enhances the hydration of cement, improving the concrete's strength and durability. By extending the working time, crushed ice also facilitates large pours or complex projects. Overall, using crushed ice is an effective strategy for ensuring high-quality concrete in challenging conditions. video rights : Respective owners DM for removal/credits #concrete #civilengineering #construction #civilengineer #civilconstruction #engineering #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

Granite quarrying and finishing involve precise extraction, cutting, and polishing, transforming raw blocks into high-quality construction materials. Granite quarrying involves extracting large blocks of granite from the earth. The process begins with drilling holes around the desired block's perimeter, followed by splitting the stone using controlled blasting or hydraulic splitters. Once extracted, the blocks are transported to processing facilities, where they are cut into slabs using diamond wire saws or gang saws. The slabs are then polished using rotating pads with abrasive compounds, creating a smooth, glossy surface. Additional finishes like honing, flamed, or brushed textures can be applied depending on the desired look. The finished granite is then ready for use in construction and decorative applications. video rights : Global Granites #granite #interior #architecture #engineering #civilengineering #construction #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

Innovating Safety: Demolition Robots Redefine High-Risk Silo Projects One of the toughest challenges of the coal silo project was removing a deteriorating hopper situated 120 feet high, obscured by a concrete lid with no access points and unclear attachment methods. The team adopted a methodical approach, removing small sections of concrete daily to expose the hopper and its supports. After removing the lid, the hopper’s bottom was carefully cut to avoid debris buildup. A demolition robot played a critical role, taking controlled “bites” out of the structure while keeping personnel safely distanced. This approach ensured safe, precise removal without risking crane-based cutting. The team’s adaptability and precision in overcoming unseen intricacies ensured a successful operation. video rights : eastcoastdemolition #demolition #construction #engineering #civilengineering #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil
