Profitable business with cement

Holcim has improved significantly during the first three quarters of
revenue and profit
The cement group Holcim increased its profit in the first nine months
rose by over 70 percent. For the year, the Group is confident and is a
good prospect of fiscal 2005. They benefit from good economic
conditions in key growth markets, said the world's second largest
cement company.

(Ap) The consolidated profit of Holcim increased in the first nine
months of 2005 rose by 70.5% compared to 1.175 billion francs. The
cement so that the company has exceeded analysts' expectations and
made more profit after three quarters, as for the whole of last year.

Revenues grew by 34.0% in local currencies and by 35.3% to 13.425
billion francs. Operating EBITDA increased by 25.4% to 3.501 billion
francs. Have contributed to this substantial increase despite higher
energy and transportation costs and tougher price pressure, four out
of five Group regions, it is said in the statement of Holcim.
High growth rate in North America

These include the Group regions North America (62.4%), Africa, Middle
East (up 34.3%), Europe (up 28.1%) and Asia Pacific (+12.9%), while
Ebitda in the company Latin America remained stable.

Excluding the newly consolidated this year, Aggregate Industries and
Ambuja Cement Eastern and Cemento de El Salvador, an internal Ebitda
growth amounts to 9.7 percent.

Consolidated operating profit rose 44.2% to 2.576 billion francs. The
workforce increased by 31.2% to 61'541 employees. Cement sales rose in
the first nine months rose 7.4% to 83 million tons. The aggregates
were up by 55.8% to 122.3 million tonnes. Ready-mix concrete, the
Group achieved an increase of 28.3% to 28.1 million cubic meters.
A healthy mix

To the very good financial results for the first nine months,
according to Holcim the world's construction intact, global presence
and the right mix of production sites in mature and emerging markets
have contributed. Sales increases and cost savings, such as through
the increased use of fossil fuels, would have supported the strong
internal growth.

Holcim continues to benefit their own data on average from the good
economic situation in key growth markets and expects to continue its
positive development in the coming months. The Group reaffirmed that
the long-standing internal operating profit growth is expected to be
significantly exceeded by five percent.
Best starting conditions for 2006

For the full year 2005 is likely, internal operating EBITDA growth in
the long term average of 5% rate of return. This is an excellent
starting position for the fiscal year 2006, Holcim continues to write.

Analysts had predicted for the first nine months of average sales of
13'065 million francs, an operating profit of 2461 million francs and
a profit of 1,159 million francs.

cement handled as a viscose fluid

2010-08-09T06:20:00.001-07:00

There should be enough water to fill the voids, so the particles of sand rub against each other, dramatically increasing the apparent viscosity as the shear rate increases. Other materials that exhibit this type of behavior are concentrated (especially deflocculated) aqueous suspensions of china clay, titanium oxide, corn flour, and wet cement aggregates. Viscoplastic fluids are those that appear to show a "yield stress." That is, a certain amount of shear stress must be applied to the material before it can begin to flow, or deform. Whereas in fact it seems that if flow is measured over a wide enough range of shear rates, no yield stress really does exist,5 the concept of a yield stress remains very convenient, because a number of materials do closely approximate to this type of behavior.
If the material is being sheared but at less than the yield shear stress (Ryield), then the material will deform "elastically" and flow as a rigid body and not like a fluid. The classic example of this type of behavior is the behavior of toothpaste, which flows "en masse" through the nozzle of the container tube when the tube is squeezed (shear at the nozzle wall being much higher than in the bulk of the paste), but stays firmly rod shaped on the toothbrush until at some higher shear rate it deforms when brushed onto one's teeth. Actually, this is an example of a Bingham plastic, which, once the shear stress exceeds the yield stress for a limited range of shear rates, will then flow with shear stress directly proportioned to shear rate. To be more precise, we should really say that such fluids flow with any further shear stress (R), over and above the yield stress, in a way that is directly proportioned to shear rate. This is somewhat similar to Newtonian behavior except that the yield shear stress (Ryield) must be reached before there can be any flow. After that yield stress has been reached and over a limited range of

The fate and quality of any house literally rests on its foundation. From design and excavation issues to formwork, reinforcement, drainage, and waterproofing details, this handy guide covers the full range of residential concrete work. Author Rick Arnold, a foundation building contractor and co-author of Precision Framing, walks the reader through all the steps. Also included are chapters on foundations built from materials other than concrete (building blocks, ICFs, wood) and on flatwork (slabs, walkways, patios). These clear instructions for building a concrete foundation are accompanied by more then 200 color photos and dozens of color illustrations.

The The Portland Cement Association's Guide to Concrete Homebuilding Systemsis your one-source guide to concrete-based home construction. Residential contractors, architects, and developers will welcome this first total guide to the latest concrete-based homebuilding systems (CBHSs). With lumber costs still on the rise after doubling the early '90s, The Portland Cement Association Guide to Concrete Homes, by Peter VanderWerf and W. Keith Munsel, can deliver, durable, cost-efficient, esthetically pleasing alternative building materials and construction methods. It's all spelled out in an authoritative sourcebook that explains and compares the various types of CBHSs and lists special materials and tools for building them--provides case histories about concrete homes already built and in use--and contains data vital to building professionals who want to learn tomorrow's techniques today. Understanding the endusers of cement or those just before them can be of vital importance to those key decision makers in the cement industry.

cement chemistry

The author was for many years Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at he University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Since 1948, his main research interest has been the chemistry of cement. His early work laid the foundations of our understanding of the structure at the nanometre level of C-S-H, the principal product formed when cement is mixed with water, and the one mainly reponsible for the hardening of the final concrete product. Subsequent studies took him into many additional aspects of the chemistry and materials science of cement and concrete. His work has been recognized by Fellowships and by other honours and awards from many scientific societies in the UK, USA and elsewhere. This second edition of Cement chemistry addresses the chemistry and materials science of the principal silicate and aluminate cements used in building and Civil engineering. Emphasis throughout is on the underlying science. This book deals more specifically with the chemistry of Portland cement manufacture , the common commercial cement product, and the nature of the resulting product, the processes that occur when this product is mixed with water, the nature of the hardened material, the chemistry of other types of hydraulic cement, and chemical and microstructural aspects of concrete, including processes that affect its durability. Since the first edition of this book was published in 1990, research throughout the world has greatly augmented our knowledge in all of hese areas. This present second edition has been updated and revised to take account of these advances. The reader will acquire a solid understanding of the subject and will be better equipped to deal with the problems and pitfalls that can arise in engineering practice as a result of inadequate understanding of the relevant chemistry. It will serve both as an introduction to those entering the subject for the first time and as a guide to the latest developments for those already experienced in the field.
