Parkar Construction Materials

 CEMENT

Cement generally refers to a very fine powdery substance chiefly made up of limestone (calcium), sand or clay (silicon), bauxite (aluminum) and iron ore, and may include shells, chalk, marl, shale, clay, blast furnace slag, slate.

Cement is a binding agent, a material used for construction that sets, toughens, and sticks to other construction materials to bind or join them together. Cement is most of the times used to unite sand and gravel together. 

 STRUCTURAL STEEL

Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Structural steel is used as a construction material, and is not similar to mild steel. MS is used for applications like vehicle body, food cans, and building parts. Structural steel always has a higher carbon content instead of mild steel.

Structural steel is a popular construction material used together with concrete to create imposing and long-lasting Civil or Commercial structures. Its flexibility, sustainability, elasticity and cost effectiveness are the main reasons for its regular use within the Construction Industry. 

REINFORCED STEEL

Reinforcement Steel is also more popularly known as REBAR. This is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in tension. This improves the quality of the bond with the concrete, as the surface of rebar is often patterned.

Steel reinforcement bars or rebars are utilized to develop the tensile strength of the concrete since concrete is brittle in tension but is strong in solidity. Steel is only used as rebar because of the elongation of steel due to high temperatures (thermal expansion coefficient) that is nearly equal to that of concrete.

BITUMEN

Bitumen is also called as Asphalt. Bitumen is a sticky, black, highly sticky and gluey liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Bitumen is usually found in natural deposits or may be a refined product, and is classed as a pitch.

Bitumen is a material obtained by fractional distillation of crude petroleum as an end product and is different from Tar due to its viscosity. Bitumen is a non-crystalline rock-hard or sticky liquid material having epoxy resin or gum like properties derived from oil either by natural or by the refining process. Bituminous materials are used for road construction, roofing, waterproofing, and other applications. For the main application, which is road construction, the primary concerns, when compared  with concrete, Bitumen is much cheaper and durable.

RIVER SAND OR NATURAL SAND

Sand generally composed of rounded particles, and may or may not contain clay or other impurities. It is obtained from the banks and beds of rivers.

This sand is white-grey and is one of the fine-graded sands used regularly to construct buildings. River Sand is natural and is mainly used in concrete and masonry brick and stone work. River Sand is  also good for RCC, plastering, and other brick or block works.

CONCRETE

Concrete is a combination material composed of fine and coarse aggregate attached together with fluidy or watery cement that hardens within a short passage of time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, and is the most widely used building material with the Civil and Construction industry.

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the entire world. These materials include cement, water, fine aggregate, and crushed stones or gravel. Sand and gravel or crushed stones are fine aggregate and coarse aggregate, respectively.

BINDING WIRES

Binding Wire is used for the purpose of tying applications in the field of construction. It is used extensively in the construction sector for tying the rebars at the junctions/joints so as to keep the structure intact. Binding wire is made of mild steel.

Binding Wire is used for tying applications in the field of construction. It is used extensively in the construction sector to tie the rebars at the joints to keep the structure intact. Binding wire is also called annealed wire and is made of mild steel.

FLY ASH

Fly ash, flue ash, coal ash, or pulverised fuel ash – plurale tantum: coal combustion residuals – is a coal combustion product that is composed of the particulates that are driven out of coal-fired boilers together with the flue gases.

Fly ash is a refined powder byproduct of burning crushed coal in electric power plants. Fly ash is a pozzolan, a substance containing aluminous and siliceous material that forms cement in the presence of water. Fly ash can be used as prime material in many cement-based products, such as poured concrete, concrete block, and brick.

AGGREGATE 

Construction aggregate, or simply collection, is a broad grouping of coarse to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates. 

To aggregate is to collect many units into one. If you're writing a novel, you might create a character who is an aggregate of five or six real people. Aggregate comes from the Latin verb aggregare, which means to add to. As a verb it means to collect into a mass or whole.

BRICKS

A brick is a type of block used to build walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction. Properly, the term brick represents a block composed of dried clay, but is now also used informally to denote other chemically cured construction blocks.

Bricks can be joined together using mortar, adhesives, or interlocking them. Bricks are produced in numerous classes, types, materials, and sizes which vary with region and period and are made in bulk quantities.
