Roads in our country

Image
There are many different types of roads around the world, which means that there are a huge number of roads made using different materials in various ways. This is a major infrastructure facility in any country and it is a factor that directly affects the economy of a country. Generally, the main purpose of a road is to allow anyone to travel easily between two places. In addition to that, there are roads made for other purposes, for example, if you want to travel quickly and in less time, there are roads made for things like highways. Sometimes with this related purpose, the quality of the road, the speed that can be traveled, the materials used to make the road, etc. will change. It is possible. So today we will see what kind of road systems have been prepared in our country using different raw materials like this. 01. Earth roads                                    Photo by Micah ...

Is it possible to mix concrete with ice?

Image
Do you really use ice to make concrete? This ice concrete is commonly used for constructions in very hot countries and for constructions with a large area and considerable height, for example, piles, pile caps (with a large height) and thick slabs etc. (trasfer plates). In addition, if the grade of the concrete does not come or the target strength after 30 days of placing the concrete is very high (>40N/m), ice concrete is used. In general, the substance called concrete is formed by adding cement, sand, black stone and water. The reaction between cement and water is the main factor for the strength of concrete. This reaction is known as curing or curing process. Some time passes and some heat is released.If the strength of the concrete is to reach the targeted level or to reach the concrete grade, the main requirements are that this curing process takes place over a certain period of time and under relevant conditions. This process preferably takes place at a temperature between 50°...
