🏠How to protect the building from chemical and environmental attack?🏗

 Welcome back friends, 

          If one question is blinking in your mind that is "Even after great technologies and experts are available Special care is being taken during construction activity then "why the structures get deteriorate?"

        If this question is blinking in your mind then you are on the right way of thinking as an  engineer and quality construction seeker.

       Most of the structural elements in the  vorious type of Construction activity loose their Strength due to environmental & chemical and environmental factors. In Simple word "Chemical and environmental attacks". 

Now you will ask How'?

         We all know that due to Industrialization various industries produces  huge amount of waste in the Gas, liquid and Solid form. This waste directly and  indirectly present in our environment and here the actual Chemical & environmental attack Starts.

         So many process are involved in the process of chemical attack but I will explain here basic concept of chemical attack that is crystalization.

         Chemicals like sulfate present in environment enter into concrete from pores or voids present in the surface of concrete and this chemical entrapped into internal voids .

         As the time passes this entrapped chemical starts preparing Crystal and this Crystal then develop pressure internally on concrete. As a result we see the cracks on the concrete and this process not happen only in concrete but also in various construction materials by the means of various chemicals and by various ways.

        In advance construction practice construction professionals use various surface treatment like chemical coating on surface of building elements to avoid this future unseen Risk of cracking in the structure.

      As a effective solution of this Chemical and environmental attack. We will discuss here about  Solvent based Coal epoxy Coating system.

It is popularly known as AC-DUR-CT ('s) 

It is two Component Solvent based Coal tar epoxy system. 

For details about this company 👇👇

http://www.Applechemie.com

It is Specially designed Coating having judicious blend of high quality. resin and inert fillers. It is recomended for protection of interior & exterior wooden, Concrete and metal surfaces from environmental and chemical attactk.

A detailed discussion we will do in 2nd part of this blog in which you will get all the details of this epoxy coating system and AC-DUR-CT (S).

मित्रांनो आपण सर्वांना माहीत आहेच की पाऊस हा सर्वात शुद्ध जलस्रोत आहे. परंतु पावसाचे पाणी ढगांतून जमिनीकडे प्रवास करताना त्याचे सूक्ष्म जलबिंदू भोवतालच्या हवेच्या संपर्कात येतात. या हवेत असलेले आणि पाण्यात सहजपणे विरघळणारे विविध प्रकारचे प्रदूषक वायू, धूलिकण या पावसाच्या पाण्यात मिसळतात. अंतिमत: हे पावसाचे पाणी घराच्या छपरावर किंवा गच्चीवर पडते तेव्हा त्यामध्ये पक्ष्यांची विष्ठा, धूळ  आणि इतर कचरा मिसळतो. यामुळे  हे पाणी अशुद्ध होते. हे पाहता, पावसाचे पाणी जलसंधारणाद्वारे वापरात आणण्यापूर्वी गाळणे आणि शुद्ध करणे आवश्यक असते._

_ते करण्यासाठी विविध पर्याय आहेत. हे पाणी कशासाठी वापरले जाणार आहे, त्यावर उपलब्ध पर्यायांपैकी कोणता पर्याय वापरावा हे ठरवता येते. जर पावसाचे पाणी शौचालयाच्या फ्लश टँक्ससाठी, वाहने धुण्यासाठी, बागेतील झाडांना घालण्यासाठी, अग्निशमन यंत्रणेसाठी आणि तत्सम दुय्यम गोष्टींसाठी वापरायचे असेल, तर साध्या वाळूच्या गाळण (Sand filter ) पद्धतीचा वापर करता येईल. परंतु हे पावसाचे पाणी आंघोळीसाठी, स्वयंपाकासाठी आणि अगदी पिण्यासाठीही वापरायचे असेल, तर हे पाणी वाळूच्या गाळणीतून (Sand filter ) प्रवाहित झाल्यानंतर ते कार्बन पावडर (अ‍ॅक्टिव्हेटेड चारकोल activated charcoal) अथवा जेलच्या गाळण यंत्रातून प्रवाहित करून पुढे अतिनील किरण (अल्ट्राव्हॉयोलेट रेज् U.V RAYS ) तसेच ‘रिव्हर्स ऑस्मोसिस’(Reverse osmosis)सारख्या तंत्रज्ञानाचा वापर करून अतिशुद्ध करण्यात येते. अशा प्रकारची गाळण यंत्रणा गच्चीवरील पाणी खाली वाहून नेणाऱ्या नळांमध्ये बसवता येते. याचा एक फायदा असा की, गच्चीवरून खाली वाहणाऱ्या पाण्याच्या स्तंभाच्या दबावामुळे गाळण प्रक्रिया वेगाने होऊ शकते. अनेकदा हे पाणी परत उलटे फिरवून गाळण माध्यमातून प्रवाहित केले जाते. यामुळे त्या गाळणीची भोके खुली राहतात._

Introduction to physics 📔Physics means?📔

      So many my dear friends think that Physics, mathematics and other subjects are so much difficult and to learn this subject we need to do so many efforts, but it's not totally true any subject in education is very much simple you just need to OBSERVE THAT SUBJECT CLEARLY. You will find that subject like your daily playing games.

Here it is *Introduction to physics* 

  Science has many subjects like physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, other subjects etc. Let us now understand the subject of 'Physics' through some daily activities. # physics subject #

        Physics is something that happens but we can't see it. That is, we hear sound but cannot see sound waves, we see that magnets are attracted to each other but we cannot see that magnetic attraction. In physics we study the natural laws, like an apple falls to the ground and our great scientist see it and we find a discovery called gravity. I mean, we see the apple falling down but we don't see the force of gravity.

        Some important points and their example are mentioned below. I hope you understand that easily. We see these example in our daily life.

You will get here # Scope and excitement of physics #

1) Physics teach us law of nature, if we observe natural activities then definitely we understand the physics. So we starts from our scheduled day. At the morning our alarm ringing and we listen this sounds ultimately we wake up at the early morning. So here main point is ' Sound ' which included into the physics subject. These sounds create some sound waves which we listen.

                       # Ambitious #

Contact -99603 88813/ 88887 40091 

2) So after, at the morning we go for make a tea, for that we boil water. When we observe that hot water creates steam or vapours. So here is main point is Heat. It is also the part of physics. Means heat was dissipated from the water in the form of vapour or steam. These steam we use in many places that is we use it for generating power (For example- electric power, etc) through turbines at a power stations.

3)So now the office time, we take a cars key and go outside. We pull the door of car and seat inside. So here we pull the door means we apply some force to pull the door. The main point is Force. Another example when the car's wheel rotates, their is grip between tyre and the road. That grip create some force, although we stop the car and it slips little bit means we feel some Friction that id also example of force. I hope all understood the force concept.

4) Now we work on the computer. Hence first of all we switch on the button. we give electricity to any device like at current situation we see our mobile / PC etc. It requires electricity , so the these electric or electronic devices are also works on principles of the physics i.e. Electrical Energy . 

         Hey it's evening coffee time, after sunset we switch on the light. The Light is also the part of physics , we see reflection / deflection of light. Yes it is physics.

        So we see some point's i.e. Sound, Heat, Force, Friction, Electricity, Light .

        Physics also includes magnetism, gravity, inertia, etc. I hope you all understand the above points which we experiences in our daily life.
