Mix Designs
The number that follows the cementitious design?
What is the target air?
2 RPM
What is the recommended barrel speed for transporting a load?
An agent that introduces tiny air bubbles into the concrete, increasing its resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and improving durability in harsh weather conditions.
What is an air entrainment add mix?
Sand, Aggregate, Cement Powder, and H20.
What are the 4 basic ingredients in concrete?
The "Target Air" when placing concrete in an outside location.
What is 6%?
Represents light weight in the mix design.
What is the number 3?
110
What is the number of barrel revolutions needed before leaving the yard with a "Super Load"?
An admixture that speeds up the hydration process, reducing setting time. It is used in cold weather conditions to ensure timely hardening of concrete.
What is an Accelerator?
Less dense than traditional concrete.
What is light light weight concrete?
Used to measure the consistency of concrete by the depth it subsides after removing a conical mold. It helps determine the workability of the concrete mix.
What is a Slump Test?
The two numbers that represent a "Super Load".
What are the number 1 and the number 6?
Must be done before adding anything other than fiber to a load.
What is talk to our in house QC?
Used to improve the materials strength, durability, and resistance to cracking.
What is fiber?
A fine powder that's a byproduct of burning coal in power plants to generate electricity.
What is fly ash?
Causes concrete to lose moisture and strength, especially in high temperatures or winds. It can be mitigated by using curing compounds, wet coverings, or maintaining a moist environment.
The mix design used for pouring Salt Lake County curb and gutter using a curb machine.
What is 9565206?
300
What is the maximum allowed barrel revolutions after being loaded?
Used to reduce the water-cement ratio while maintaining workability, enhancing the concrete's performance and strength.
What are plasticizers?
The most common sizes of aggregate used in concrete.
What are 3/4 inch, 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch?
The early hardening of concrete within the first 24 hours. It marks the beginning of the concrete gaining strength and rigidity.
What is the initial set?
The mix used at the Slat Lake City International AirPort for Paving, sidewalks, etc...
What is 267255L?
Must be obtained before adjusting the slump beyond what the mix design calls for on the invoice.
What is the contractors signature?
A liquid admixture used to reduce drying shrinkage and the potential for cracking and curling.
What is Eclipse?
Powdery substance made by grinding clinker and gypsum. It is the primary binding agent in concrete, essential for the mix's strength and durability.
What is Portland Cement?
A standard guide for the quality and performance of ready-mixed concrete, ensuring consistency and reliability in concrete production and delivery.
What is ASTM C94?
