We are the first in the Sultanate to have acquired an ISO 9001: 2015 certification for production and supply of Ready Mix Concrete in Oman. Our urge to excel has given us the distinction of being pioneers for the supply of concrete with Silica Fume, Fly ash & GGBS to prestigious projects.
In this investigation, a comprehensive assessment was conducted on the cooperative effects of Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP), limestone powder, and white cement within the realm of fair-faced concrete. We discerned that while white cement augments the color vibrancy of the concrete, its accelerated hydration rate potentially …
Although concrete is a noncombustible material, high temperatures such as those experienced during a fire have a negative effect on the mechanical properties. This paper studies the effect of elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of limestone, quartzite and granite concrete. Samples from three different concrete …

The strength of the SCC mixes containing the limestone and chalk powders was significantly greater than that of the conventional vibrated reference concrete at the same water/cement ratio. For the limestone powder mixes, the cube compressive strengths were 60–80% higher at 7 days and 30–40% higher at 28 days, compared with …
Welcome to the ultimate guide on concrete mix ratio in the UK! As a builder or DIY enthusiast, you probably understand the importance of using the right mix ratio for your concrete projects. But with so many factors to consider, such as strength requirements, aggregate type and size, and weather conditions, it can be challenging to determine ...
Your cement mix ratio in concrete is what determines the strength and sturdiness of your work. A good cement mix will provide a strong, durable product that stands up well against natural elements like rain or waves at the beach. ... Type I cement uses limestone and clay as it's main ingredients, and typically has a slightly higher chemical ...
A concrete mix ratio is usually expressed by a set of numbers separated by colons, as is the case with a 1:2:3 ratio. This tells the mixer that they need to add 1 part cement powder, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate in order to …
Originally established in 1984, we now lead the way as one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of concrete products in Oman with our annual production capacities …
Limestone is widely used in the construction industry to produce Portland limestone cement (PLC) concrete. Systematic evaluations of hydration kinetics, compressive strength development, and carbonation resistance are crucial for the rational use of limestone. This study presents a hydration-based model for evaluating the …
According to experts, LC3 is a relatively new type of cement produced from a blend of limestone and low-grade clays found in abundance in many parts of the world, …
Portland-Limestone Cements: State-of-the-Art Report and Gap Analysis for CSA A3000. R.D. Hooton, M. Nokken and Michael D.A. Thomas, June 17, 2007. Michael D.A. Thomas and R. Doug Hooton, "The Durability of Concrete Produced with Portland-Limestone Cement: Canadian Studies," SN3142, Portland Cement Association, 2010
It is widely used in all general and semi specialized construction works like plain and reinforced cement concrete works, brick and stone masonry, plastering and flooring. * …
This article investigates the effects of water–cement (w–c) ratio and coarse limestone aggregate type on compressive strength of concrete. In this study, Ceyhan …
We have exclusive tie up in place with the Limestone mine owners in Sultanate of Oman. Our first shipment was done in nearly 2016 to Bangladesh. We are in position to supply the Limestone material on …
Ternary cements are a promising option to further reduce CO 2 emissions and environmental impact from cement production. The current study investigates in detail the impact of water to binder ratio (0.4, 0.5, 0.6) and curing temperature (5, 20, 40 °C) on the hydration kinetics of a ternary cement comprising clinker, slag and limestone in a …
Limestone Being Laid on a Prepared Sub-Base; Bartley Grey Limestone on Site Ready to be Laid; Above is a basic cross section graphic of a typical paving build where the paving flows away from a brick building. Take a good look at this diagram to get a quick understanding of what lays beneath the paving surface of a patio or path.
This study examines durability and mechanical properties of sustainable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in which 80% of the cement is replaced with combinations of recycled industrial by-products including fly ash, silica fume, and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). The water to binder (w/b) ratio of SCC mixes studies was …
A cubic foot of limestone rocks weighs around 96 to 150 lbs (44 to 68 kg). On the other hand, a cubic foot block of limestone cut from a large piece of limestone would weigh around 168 lbs (76 kg). The difference in solid and crushed limestone weights depends on the void spaces within the considered cubic foot volume.
Concrete made with PLC has excellent placing and finishing properties. Some contractors report that PLC concrete finishes and pumps slightly better than OPC concrete, not surprising considering the resulting difference in cementitious particle size distribution. Shrinkage and heat of hydration attributes are similar or even slightly improved.
