...3. Materials This section will describe the materials that were used in the laboratory experiments that will be presented in this thesis. 3.1 Portland CEMENT Portland cement is composed of a combination of limestone and either shale, clay, sand, or iron. These materials are ground and blended together and heated in a kiln from 2600o F to3000o F. This causes the materials to fuse together to create clinker. Cooled clinker is then ground with gypsum (CaSO4*2H20). The addition of gypsum controls the aluminate chemistry and the setting time of cement concrete. Portland cement reacts with water to form a paste that binds the aggregate particles together to form concrete. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) of grade 53 is used in the project. The cement...

...ILKES-BARRE TWP. — Clinging to a 2-1 lead with the Portland Pirates on the penalty kill and 20 seconds remaining in the game, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins were in a good spot. But they fell victim to a bad bounce. Portland capitalized on a puck that caromed off the referee and landed in front of the net to score the tying goal, then they added the game-winner in overtime to beat the Penguins 3-2 on Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena. It was the second straight overtime loss — both at the hands of Portland — for the Penguins, who fell victim to a pair of shorthanded goals in regulation. The Penguins remain in first place in the Atlantic Division with a .680 win percentage, but Hershey (.635) and Portland (.615) are narrowing the gap. After they rallied for a 2-1 lead in the third period on Sunday, the Penguins appeared poised for a win. “It wasn’t money in the bank, but we were sitting in a good spot,” captain Tom Kostopoulos said. The Penguins wrapped up their three-in-three set with four points out of six. That wasn’t good enough for coach Clark Donatelli, who said Sunday’s game was one the Penguins should have won. Both Portland shorthanded goals in regulation came after the puck bounced off an official and onto the Pirates’ sticks. “We’re not happy with that,” Donatelli said of the back-to-back overtime losses. But he refused to blame the officials for getting in the way of pucks. “The ref’s a part of the game — like a bad board, sticks, a bad bounce...

...asset to the community. It is thought it would be more beneficial to build a new family clinic verses remodeling an already existing building. It was found to be more cost effective starting from scratch when compared to the expense of a remodel. There are many details that go into the facility planning process, this paper will go into why this community is in need of a new family health care facility, and the type of population the facility will be serving. Community Need The community of Hillsboro Oregon is continuing to grow at a fast rate. This is believed to be the case because of the employment opportunities offered by the major industries that have taken residence in the area (Kearns Moore, 2014). A recent study done at Portland State University believes Hillsboro could rival Gresham for the title of the fourth largest city in Oregon by the late 2020s (Kearns Moore, 2014). This increased growth is why there is a need to add a new family health care clinic in order to provide the community with quality health care in a timely manner. Adding a new family health care clinic in the city of Hillsboro Oregon will also benefit those who live in the outskirt areas such as the cities of Cornelius, Forest Grove, Banks, North Plains, and Gaston. Hillsboro is conveniently located and will be an asset to more than just the citizens living in Hillsboro. Population A new family health care clinic built in the city of Hillsboro; which is the fifth highest populated city...

...Juan Pablo Aylwin ICC3124 Geopolímeros como nueva alternativa al cemento Portland "La tierra no es herencia de nuestros padres sino préstamo de nuestros hijos". En la actualidad, la competencia global intensa y los cambios del mercado obligan al desarrollo de nuevos materiales que reduzcan tanto el uso de recursos naturales como la contaminación al crearlos. Como muchos saben, la creación de cemento Portland es el encargado de gran parte de la contaminación mundial, ya que ocupa mucha energía, contamina el agua y emite grandes cantidades de CO2. Es por eso que se están desarrollando nuevas tecnologías verdes para combatir este problema. Una de estas son los Geopolímeros, que son una nueva clase de materiales cerámicos considerados revolucionarios debido a sus ventajas técnicas y debido a que su producción ayuda al medioambiente. (Muñiz, Gasca, Manzano, & Rubio, 2011). A continuación se introducirá el concepto de geopolímeros, para luego hablar sobre algunas de sus ventajas frente al cemento convencional. Geopolímero es un término inventado por Joseph Davidovits para nombrar a polímeros sintéticos inorgánicos de aluminosilicatos que provienen de la reacción química más conocida como geopolimerización. (Davidovits, 1988). Estos tienen la ventaja, además de emitir bajas cantidades de CO2 en su producción, de tener una gran...

...Overview Combined water and sewer rates in Portland, Oregon are among the highest in the United States. A 2007 survey by Black & Veatch put Portland No. 1 on the list of 50 largest cities water and wastewater survey and No. 6 in 2010.[1] A proposed five year rate increases which started in July, 2011 by the Portland Water Bureau is likely to push Portland's water bills significantly above the average for the 50 largest U.S cities. Portland's combined water and sewer bill would likely total $346 by the year 2015.[2] Quarterly bills for typical residential customers have risen from $74 to $84 in July 2011 following a 13% increase by the Portland Water Bureau.[3] These spiking increases are as a result of a Federal regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency effective 2014 which requires drinking water sources to be guarded against the chlorine-resistant parasite, cryptosporidium which Public Water Bureau of Portland believe to be non-existent in the pristine waters of the Bull Run. About 25 percent of the water rate increases is tied to the Environmental Protection Agency's mandates that Portland deal with cryptosporidium which the City of Portland initially contested but lost. The argument of Portland city authorities is that the city’s water which is drawn from the pristine Bull Run watershed which is pure and clean and does not need any expensive treatment to eliminate any pathogens which evidently is not present in the water.[4] The EPA is however not taking any...

...Concrete + Fly ash Properties of the material Shapes Fly ash consists mainly of hollow spherical shapes which creates a ball bearing effect in the mix, improving workability without increasing water requirements. Fly ash also improves the pump-ability of concrete by making it more cohesive and less prone to segregation. The spherical shape improves the pump-ability by decreasing the friction between the concrete and the pump line. In addition, some fly ashes have been shown to significantly decrease heat generation as the concrete hardens and strengthens. Fly ash, as do all pozzolanic materials, generally provide increased concrete strength gain for much longer periods than mixes with Portland cement only. Durability The biggest reason to use...

...SLAG - IRON AND STEEL December, 2014 16-1 SLAG - IRON AND STEEL 16 Slag - Iron and Steel S lag is a by-product generated during manufacturing of pig iron and steel. It is produced by action of various fluxes upon gangue materials within the iron ore during the process of pig iron making in blast furnace and steel manufacturing in steel melting shop. Primarily, the slag consists of calcium, magnesium, manganese and aluminium silicates in various combinations. The cooling process of slag is responsible mainly for generating different types of slags required for various end-use consumers. Although, the chemical composition of slag may remain unchanged, physical properties vary widely with the changing process of cooling. In an integrated steel plant, 2 to 4 tonnes of wastes (including solid, liquid and gas) are generated for every tonne of steel produced. A c c o r d i n g l y, t o d a y t h e e m p h a s i s i s o n t h e avoidance of waste generation, recycling and reuse of waste, and minimising the adverse impact of disposal on the environment. Among all the solid/liquid wastes, slags generated at iron making and steel making units are created in the largest quantities. With increasing capacities, disposal of large quantities of slag becomes a big environmental concern and a critical issue for steel makers. Over the last few years, with a better understanding of slags, its functions and improvements in process technologies have led ...
