Rakesh Sharma is Vice President Project of M/s Supertech Limited. He has 28 years of experience in Construction.

I.T. Park, Doon Square Mall at Dehradun, Uttarakhand is being constructed by M/s Supertech Ltd. For this site M-30 grade of concrete suitable for pumped concrete is required. Aggregates for construction was stored at site. Its analysis report is given in Table 2.

For laboratory trial 5 brands of PPC cement bags were taken from local market. They were identified as cement brand, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Two reputed brands of normal superplasticizers based on sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) were taken for trials. They were identified as SP (A) and SP (B) to find their compatibility with the given 5 brands of PPC cement identified as cement brand 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

COMPATIBILITY
The behavior of concrete in the presence of superplasticizers is related to the amount and type of sulfate added to the clinker. The rheological and setting Behavior are changed depending on whether the sulfate is added as anhydrite, hemihydrates, or gypsum. The difference are explained by the different rates of dissolution of these sulfates.

Project Management
In our day today’s working life, we are completely reliant on and propped tomany things, it is quite easy to focus on only one Project work for the completion. In most business corporations, Project Managers are likely to manipulate between multiple projects, without allowing anything fall through the crashes.

Although this can be challenging, it’s not impossible.Managing multiple Projects can be possible in today’s workplace provided if they follow few steps. As companies attempt to keep costs in check, the manpower to fully and comfortably so that the staff of the projects may not exit the company, the same time, new projects are constantly being added to company’s backlog in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The mixture of these factors increases the focus on project managers, and their ability to get things done in an effective, efficient and timely manner.

For concrete roads, flexural strength of concrete is the design criteria. For all major projects, flexural strength of the mix shall be determine by third point loading of flexural beams size 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm as per IS: 516. Determination of flexural strength by correlating with cube strength (compressive strength) shall not be allowed for major projects, as the correlation is not well established.
