Mixing of Dam Concrete in Continuous Energy Saving Gravity Mixer
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The 2n mixing theory, based on kneading and lapping mechanism, was developed with the concept of Japanese noodle (UDON) making method. This theory was verified, with the development of the M-Y mixer, for mixing light and viscous materials using on the horizontal way. The mixing mechanism was modified to inter-particle collisions and impact with the actions of splitting and recombination in order to mix large particle materials, like different types of concrete with the use of the M-Y mixer on the vertical way. In order to represent the mixing performance of this mixer only under gravity, it was renamed as Energy Saving Gravity (ESG) mixer. This paper describes the continuous mixing performance of Dam concrete in ESG mixer. It was verified, with large scale mixing experimental work in real construction site, that the ESG mixer gives the required properties of Dam concrete for construction.
