Concrete m500 - technical description. advantages and

In this article we will look at the characteristics and areas of application of such a rare and high-strength building material as concrete M500. We also examine in particular its structure and subtleties of production. And then you can easily determine the level of need for such a solution for your construction.

Technical description

The first is to disassemble the composition of concrete M500.

Structure

• High quality granite crushed stone is used as the aggregate. All stones at the same time must have the same size for the implementation of a uniform load distribution.

  

• Fine sand of the first category, which has been thoroughly cleaned, will minimize the number of pores and ensure the density of concrete M500 is high.

• Cement of the appropriate brand. Its high price largely determines the cost of the finished product. But saving in this case on the binder is not worth it, since it is precisely it that is responsible for the strength of the connection of the filler components.

  

• Water that has undergone a special filtration in order to prevent various impurities from entering the solution that could interfere with proper setting.

Proportions for concrete M500:

• 10 kg of cement;
• 11 kg of sand;
• 22 kg of gravel;
• 5 liters of water.

If we translate this into a ratio, we get 1: 1.1: 2.2. But it is recommended to combine all the proportions of concrete M500 in a production environment, and not at home alone, as all the details of the technology must be observed.

Advice: even more than that, before ordering peskobeton M500, make inquiries about the supplier to make sure in the production of the necessary equipment, which in fact is very rare. Otherwise, they may well sell you just a lower mark at an inflated price.

Benefits

Positive characteristics of concrete M500:

• Incredibly high compressive strength of concrete, at least 1200 units, and on mechanical stress. Damage to such a surface can only be special equipment with a diamond-coated.

• A short period of solidification of the concrete mass. The use of cement brand M500 ensures quick setting, which practically does not slow down the overall process of the entire construction.

Tip: it is recommended to add plasticizers to the solution. They will increase its elasticity, which in turn will facilitate the work with him with his own hands.

• Increased water resistance. Shallow sandstone prevents the penetration of moisture into the pores of the structure, so that it can be located even at sea depth.
• Resistance to all types of environmental exposure: wind, atmospheric precipitation, ultraviolet radiation.
• Very long service life. Constructions built on the technology in question have not yet been destroyed independently. (See also the article Hydraulic concrete: features.)

Disadvantage

Why is the building material with such high rates not used everywhere? Because you need to pay for quality. Making concrete M500 is incredibly costly and complicated; few of them, even from large manufacturers, are engaged in it.

Advice: it is not recommended to use the 500th brand in everyday life, since it is irrational. As a result, the high qualities of such material will remain unclaimed, and you will spend a lot of money on its acquisition.

Areas of use

Where, then, is concrete concrete used?

The instruction offers the following options that have industrial value:

• Foundations for skyscrapers. A building with a large number of floors has a huge mass and is a worthy test for the M500.

• Bridge support and hydraulic constructions. Here not only strength, but also moisture resistance is important. Constantly being in the water destroys lower grades of concrete, not this one.

• Subway and other structures, located under the earth's surface. "Subway" needs special indicators of strength, because it is constantly experiencing ground pressure and strong vibrations. Not every material can withstand such loads.

• Military bunkers. That's where the real test "for lice." Protecting soldiers from enemy shells is the most significant indicator.

Conclusion

Concrete brand M500 is made from high quality selected ingredients in compliance with special technologies. Due to this, it achieves the highest rates of strength, reliability and water resistance. But it also forms a very high cost, which makes it irrational to use such a building material in living conditions. But skyscrapers, bridges, stations and subway tunnels can not do without its use.

The video in this article is able to provide you with additional materials for your consideration that are directly related to the above information. Use for home needs more rational materials. But if you are building a bomb shelter, then the M500 brand is your choice.
