ADVANTAGES |
COST |
|
Concrete masonery blocks are most economical, These blocks are made of cement, sand, grit & dust. |
Mix all aggregates as usual. Add 200 ml Block Makers to gauging water per bag of Cement. |
1.Cement upto 7 - 8% gives excellent results. 2.Dust upto 10%-15% yield excellent finish and high impermeability without loss of strength. |
Price of Block Maker in 200 ltrs packing Rs.52.00 per litre. Dosage 200ml per bag of cement. Cost of 200ml block master Rs.10.40 Cost per block is taken at Rs.7.00 |
|
Increase in cement and grit give high strength. For high inpermeability high dust content is necessary. But increasing dust give higher impermeability, beter finish and reduces strength. |
Cast blocks as usual. |
3.Strength of 90% - 100% within 7 - 10 days. 4.No loss of blocks either i) In the casting stage or ii) after 24 hours. iii) after 7-8 days curing |
Normal breakages of 3-5 blocks per 28-30 blocks i.e.10% - 16.6%. per1,00,000 blocks 10,000.00 to 16000 blocks break i.e. for 1,00,000 blocks Rs.70000.00-Rs.1,16,200.00 worth of blocks are lost. Quantity of Block Master required for 1,00,000 blocks @ 29 blocks per bag of cement i.e.689 ltrs. Cost of 689 Ltr.Block Master @ Rs.54 per litre Rs.37206.00. |
|
When mesonary work is on, blocks get hardly 7-8 days curing hance leading to high breakages. |
|
|
Hence savings of Rs.70,000 to Rs.1,16,200 if Rs.37206 worth of Block Master is used. |
|
28 - 30 blocks are made from one bag of cement hence breakages of 3-5 blocks mean 10% to 16.6% loss.Due to inadequate curing block strength is low. |
|
5.The blocks are water proof and exhibit high impermeability due to Block Master. 6.Chhal upto 10 - 15& can be used which reduces block cost by 10 - 15%. |
|
|
All these disadvantages can be overcome by using 200 ml Block Maker with cement upto 8-9% which give 90-100% strength on 7-10 days curing. |
|
|
|
|
Besides chhal is available in aboundance, chhal upto 10 - 15 % can be used without affecting strength.Hence block cost reduced by 10% - 15% since cost of chhal is taken as nil. |
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use upto 10% flyash with Block Master. |
Besides cost of blocks reduced by 10 - 15% i.e by Rs.70,000 to Rs.1,,05,000.00 |
|
|
|
|
i.e. total savings of Rs.1,40,000 to Rs.2,21,200 if Rs.37,206 worth of Block Master is used. |
