Pre & Post Stressed Concrete from DAGLOCS Composition: A Review

This project work is the review of the study accomplished in the Buddha Institute of Technology on the use of DAGLOCS composition for pre-stressed and post-stressed concreting. The use of conventional concrete mix for the making of prestressed concrete and post-stressed concrete will make the whole system more expensive. Further it is required that the mixes which we normally used are not very effective for resisting the weathering and chemical attacks due to which the concrete which is used for making the conventional structures will have low durability. This project work basically targets on the implementation of the DAGLOCS composition in the preparation of the pre-stressed concrete and post-stressed concrete. This composition is used in this composition because it is economical and more durable in comparison to those pre-stressed concrete and post-stressed concrete which is made with the conventional concrete. Here we have introduced steel scrap fiber (SSF) for reducing the brittleness of the pre-stressed concrete and post-stressed concrete. These structures will not give the warning before the failure of the structure and the further use of various wastes and supplements like chemicals i.e. admixture and superplasticizers will support the whole pre-stressed concrete and post-stressed concrete. In this composition the provision of different waste materials is done after the study of their physical and chemical properties, which makes the net properties of the concrete composition better than the conventional concrete. By the use this specifically selected concreting materials the strength, durability and chemical resistance increases in a combined form.
