GLASSFIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS (GRP)
INTRODUCTION
Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a composite material or fiber-reinforced
plastic made of a plastic reinforced by fine glass fibers. Like graphite-reinforced
plastic, the composite material is commonly referred to by the name of its
reinforcing fibers (fiberglass). Thermosetting plastics are normally used for
GRP productionmost often unsaturated polyester(using 2-butanone
peroxide aka MEK peroxide as a catalyst) , butvinylester or epoxy are also used.
Traditionally, styrene monomer was used as a reactive diluent in the resin
formulation giving the resin a characteristic odor. More recently alternatives have
been developed. The glass can be in the form of a chopped strand mat (CSM) or a
woven fabric.
As with many other composite materials (such as reinforced concrete), the two
materials act together, each overcoming the deficits of the other. Whereas the
plastic resins are strong in compressive loading and relatively weak in tensile
strength, the glass fibers are very strong in tension but have no strength against
compression. By combining the two materials, GRP becomes a material that
resists both compressive and tensile forces well. The two materials may be used
uniformly or the glass may be specifically placed in those portions of the structure
that will experience tensile loads.

HOLLOW AND CEMENT CONCRETE BRICKS
INTRODUCTION
Cement concrete hollow blocks have an important place in modern buildingindustry. They are cost effective and better alternative to burnt clay bricks by
virtue of their good durability, fire resistance, partial resistance to sound, thermal
insulation, small dead load and high speed of construction. Concrete hollow
blocks being usually larger in size than the normal clay building bricks and less
mortar is required, faster of construction is achieved.
Also building construction with cement concrete hollow blocks provides facility
for concealing electrical conduit, water and sewer pipes wherever so desired and
requires less plastering.
MARKET & DEMAND ASPECTS
Cement concrete hollow blocks are modern construction materials and as such
are used in all the constructions viz. residential, commercial and industrial
building constructions. Construction industry is a growing a sector. The demand
for this product is always high in all cities and other urban centres due to
construction of residential apartments, commercial buildings and industrial
buildings.
Growing public awareness of the advantages of the product coupled with increase
in the government and financial institutions support for housing which is a basic
human necessity would ensure a healthy growth in the demand.

RAW MATERIALS
Concrete is a mixture of ordinary Portland cement, mineral aggregate (sand andstone chips) and water. The water used in preparing the concrete serves two
purposes:
(1) It combines with the cement to form a hardened paste
(2) It lubricates the aggregates to form a plastic and workable mass
The water that combines with the cement varies from about 22 to 28% of the
total amount of mixing water in concrete.
Mineral aggregates (sand and stone chips) are normally divided into two fractions
based on their particle size. Aggregate particles passing through the No.4 or 4.7
mm Indian Standard sieve are known as fine aggregate. The particles retained on
this sieve are designated as coarse aggregate. Natural sand is often used as fine
aggregate in cement concrete mixture. Coarse aggregate are crushed stone chips.
Crushed stone chips broken into particle sizes passing through the 4.7 mm sieve
may also be used as fine aggregate. The maximum size of the coarse aggregate
that may be used in cement concrete hollow blocks is 12.5 mm. However, the
particle size of the coarse aggregate should not exceed one third thickness of the
thinnest web of the hollow blocks.
Ordinary Portland cement is the cementing material used in cement concrete
hollow blocks. Cement is the highest priced material per unit weight of the
concrete. Hence, the fine and coarse aggregates are combined in such
proportions that the resulting concrete is workable and has minimum cement
content for the desired quality.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The process of manufacture of cement concrete hollow blocks involves the
following 5 stages;
(1) Proportioning
(2) Mixing
(3) Compacting
(4) Curing
(5) Drying
(1) Proportioning:
The determination of suitable amounts of raw materials needed to produce
concrete of desired quality under given conditions of mixing, placing and curing is
known as proportioning. As per Indian Standard specifications, the combined
aggregate content in the concrete mix used for making hollow blocks should not
be more than 6 parts to 1 part by volume of Portland cement. If this ratio is taken
in terms of weight basis this may average approximately at 1:7 (cement :
aggregate). However, there have been instances of employing a lean mix of as
high as 1:9 by manufacturers where hollow blocks are compacted by power
operated vibrating machines. The water cement ratio of 0.62 by weight basis can
be used for concrete hollow blocks.
(2) Mixing
The objective of thorough mixing of aggregates, cement and water is to ensure
that the cement-water paste completely covers the surface of the aggregates. All
the raw materials including water are collected in a concrete mixer, which is
rotated for about 1 minutes. The prepared mix is discharged from the mixer
and consumed within 30 minutes.

(3) Compacting
The purpose of compacting is to fill all air pockets with concrete as a whole
without movement of free water through the concrete. Excessive compaction
would result in formation of water pockets or layers with higher water contentand poor quality of the product.
Semi-automatic vibrating table type machines are widely used for making cement
concrete hollow blocks. The machine consists of an automatic vibrating unit, a
lever operated up and down metallic mould box and a stripper head contained in
a frame work.
Wooden pallet is kept on the vibrating platform of the machine. The mould box is
lowered on to the pallet. Concrete mix is poured into the mould and evenly
levelled. The motorised vibrating causes the concrete to settle down the mould
by approximately 1 to 1 inches. More of concrete is then raked across the
mould level. The stripper head is placed over the mould to bear on the levelled
material. Vibration causes the concrete come down to its limit position. Then the
mould box is lifted by the lever. The moulded hollow blocks resting on the pallet is
removed and a new pallet is placed and the process repeated. The machine can
accommodate interchangeable mould for producing blocks of different sizes of
hollow or solid blocks.
(4) Curing
Hollow blocks removed from the mould are protected until they are sufficiently
hardened to permit handling without damage. This may take about 24 hours in a
shelter away from sun and winds. The hollow blocks thus hardened are cured in a
curing yard to permit complete moisturisation for atleast 21 days. When the
hollow blocks are cured by immersing them in a water tank, water should be
changed atleast every four days.

The greatest strength benefits occur during the first three days and valuable
effects are secured up to 10 or 14 days. The longer the curing time permitted the
better the product.
(5) Drying
Concrete shrinks slightly with loss of moisture. It is therefore essential that after
curing is over, the blocks should be allowed to dry out gradually in shade so that
the initial drying shrinkage of the blocks is completed before they are used in the
construction work. Hollow blocks are stacked with their cavities horizontal to
facilitate thorough passage of air.
Generally a period of 7 to 15 days of drying will bring the blocks to the desired
degree of dryness to complete their initial shrinkage. After this the blocks are
ready for use in construction work.

UTILITIES
Electrical Power requirement: 25 HP power for industrial purpose is required.

for human consumption is considered adequate for concrete mixing.
