Traditional Concrete vs. Ready-Mix Concrete

In recent years, ready-mix concrete (fresh concrete) has been gradually replacing traditional concrete (manually mixed concrete) in construction projects. Why is this shift happening? Let’s explore some key reasons behind this transition. Traditional Concrete Advantages of Traditional Concrete: Suitable for small-scale projects and construction sites where ready-mix concrete cannot be delivered. Flexible construction timeline—not dependent on transportation or specialized equipment. Disadvantages of Traditional Concrete: Longer pouring time for concrete. Requires space for material storage and on-site mixing. Environmental concerns due to dust and waste generation. Requires more labor, increasing construction costs. Difficult to control mix proportions, as quality depends on...

Types of Piles in Civil Construction

Conventional Reinforced Concrete Piles These piles are precast either in factories or on-site and installed using specialized equipment for driving or pressing them into the ground. They typically have a square cross-section, and their length depends on soil conditions and project scale. If the length is too large, the pile can be divided into smaller segments for easier transportation and installation. Common pile cross-sections range from 0.2m to 0.4m, with pile lengths usually under 12m. The concrete used for these piles generally has a strength grade of 250 – 350. Prestressed Spun Concrete Piles These piles are manufactured and cured...

Comparison of Advantages and Disadvantages of Driven Piles and Bored Piles

Both driven piles and bored piles are methods of constructing reinforced concrete piles capable of bearing significant loads to support the structure. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, making it suitable for different projects based on structure, technical specifications, and construction approach. The Importance of Pile Foundations Pile foundations are crucial in construction due to the following benefits: Minimal settlement, reducing the risk of structural deformation. Deep foundation placement prevents significant settlement effects on surrounding structures. Flexible construction process, allowing adjustments in depth, diameter, and other parameters to match soil conditions. Ideal for weak, narrow, and easily subsiding...

Foundation and Tie Beam Construction

At the initial stage of constructing a townhouse, the foundation structure is the most crucial part. Only with a solid foundation can a multi-story house be safely built without subsidence or collapse. The foundation not only directly affects the building itself but also impacts surrounding structures. Poor foundation handling can lead to unforeseeable consequences for both the homeowner and neighboring areas. Therefore, investors must clearly understand the technical factors, structural design, and practical construction experience required for proper execution. Subgrade Concrete Subgrade Concrete This layer is located beneath the foundation concrete, tie beams, and structural elements that come into contact...

Waterproofing Work

In construction projects, skipping the waterproofing step is a significant oversight. This step determines the quality and durability of the area being built. If waterproofing is neglected, water infiltration can occur, leading to costly dismantling and repairs in terms of both time and money. Therefore, implementing a proper waterproofing process before finishing areas such as bathroom floors, balconies, terraces, swimming pools, etc. is crucial. Preparation Work Tools: Trowel, chisel, wire brush, broom, bucket, electric mixer drill… Remove any obstructions from the work area. Chisel away any loose or non-solid concrete. Use a grinding machine with a brush or a wire...

Proper Concrete Curing Process

Concrete curing is one of the most crucial stages in construction, determining the durability, load-bearing capacity, and lifespan of a structure. If not cured properly, concrete can crack, weaken in quality, and compromise the overall integrity of the structure. So, what is the correct process for curing concrete? Let’s explore the details in this article! Why Is Concrete Curing Necessary? After pouring, concrete undergoes a setting and strengthening process. During this phase, if the concrete loses moisture too quickly, shrinkage and cracking will occur, weakening the structure. Proper concrete curing helps to: Ensure the concrete reaches its maximum strength. Prevent...
