AAC Benefits & Advantages

AAC Benefits
What is AAC?
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a certified green building material, which can be used for commercial, industrial and residential construction. It is porous, non-toxic, reusable, renewable and recyclable.
When was AAC first developed?
AAC was developed in 1924 by a Swedish architect, who was looking for an alternate building material with properties similar to that of wood – good thermal insulation, solid structure and easy to work with – but without the disadvantage of combustibility, decay and termite damage.
What are Biltech ACE blocks/panels made of?
Biltech ACE blocks and panels are manufactured using fly ash mixed with cement, lime, water and an aerating agent. The resultant building material, comprising millions of tiny air pores, is set and cut into blocks and panels of varying sizes.
What are the advantages of using Biltech ACE?

Eco-friendly & Sustainable 
Makes productive use of recycled industrial waste (fly ash).
Non-polluting manufacturing process – the only by-product is steam.
Made of non-toxic ingredients.
Does not exude gases.
Total energy consumption for producing Biltech ACE is less than ½ of what it takes to produce other building material.

Lightweight
3-4 times lighter than traditional bricks, therefore, easier and cheaper to
transport.
A Biltech ACE block weighs approximately 50% less than a standard CMU block.
A Biltech ACE panel weighs approximately 30% of standard cast-in-place concrete.
Usage reduces overall dead load of a building, thereby allowing construction of taller buildings.

Thermally Insulated & Energy Efficient
Tiny air pores and thermal mass of blocks provide excellent thermal insulation, thus reducing heating and air conditioning costs of a building.

Fire Resistant
Non-combustible and fire resistant up to 1600° C.
Can withstand up to 6 hours of direct exposure.
Acoustic Performance
Superior sound absorption qualities due to porous structure of blocks.
Offers sound attenuation of about 42 dB, blocking out all major sounds and disturbances.
Ideal for schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, multi-family housing and other structures that require acoustic insulation.

Easy Workability and Design Flexibility
Blocks can be easily cut, drilled, nailed, milled and grooved to fit individual requirements.
Available in custom sizes.
Simplifies hydro-sanitary and electrical installations, such as pipes or ducts, which can be installed after the main construction is complete.

Seismic Resistant
Lightweight blocks reduce mass of a structure, thus decreasing the impact of an earthquake on a building.
Non-combustible nature provides an advantage against fires, which commonly accompany earthquakes.

Precision
Available in exact sizes.
Results in smooth walls with perfect contact between different elements.
Reduces cement and steel usage.

Termite/Pest Resistant
Due to structure of blocks, Biltech ACE cannot be damaged or infested by termites and other pests.

Low Maintenance
Reduces operating cost by 30% to 40%.
Reduces overall construction cost by 2.5% as it requires less jointing and reduces need for cement and steel.

High-insulation blocks save up to 30% in energy costs.
Variety in sizes of blocks helps increase carpet area.
Wall painting and plastering last longer as almost nil efflorescence affects Biltech ACE. This translates into lower maintenance costs.

Faster Construction
Reduces construction time by 20%.
Different sizes of blocks help reduce the number of joints in wall masonry.
Lighter blocks make construction easier and faster.
Easy to install. Sets and hardens quickly.

Slump test


The slump test is a means of assessing the consistency of fresh concrete. It is used, indirectly, as a means of checking that the correct amount of water has been added to the mix. The test is carried out in accordance with BS EN 12350-2, Testing fresh concrete. Slump test. This replaces BS 1881: Part 102.
The steel slump cone is placed on a solid, impermeable, level base and filled with the fresh concrete in three equal layers. Each layer is rodded 25 times to ensure compaction. The third layer is finished off level with the top of the cone. The cone is carefully lifted up, leaving a heap of concrete that settles or ‘slumps’ slightly. The upturned slump cone is placed on the base to act as a reference, and the difference in level between its top and the top of the concrete is measured and recorded to the nearest 5 mm to give the slump of the concrete.

When the cone is removed, the slump may take one of three forms. 
In a true slump the concrete simply subsides, keeping more or less to shape. In a shear slump the top portion of the concrete shears off and slips sideways. In acollapse slump the concrete collapses completely. Only a true slump is of any use in the test. If a shear or collapse slump is achieved, a fresh sample should be taken and the test repeated. A collapse slump will generally mean that the mix is too wet or that it is a high workability mix, for which the flow test (see separate entry) is more appropriate.

Pod taxi journey(2016) in noida 


If everything goes well then will travel in a taxi in town pod from 2016. Posh Market Sector-18, between Jiaipi Botanical Gardens Mall and is planning to launch pod taxi. This project report details the company's responsibility to make Deps. In the first phase it will conduct a four-kilometer area. In the future it will run in 20-kilometer radius. It will include all the city's establishment. Plans to build 22 stations. This will reduce the pressure of traffic in the city. Elevated pod taxi operations (like subway will).
This plan is a multinational company based in the UK Ultra - Feyrvud Noida Authority on Friday gave a presentation at the office. London's Heathrow airport taxi company that operates on the iPod. Noida Authority officials liked the plan. The meeting decided that the next 22 months to build the track started to taxi operations.
The computer must be powered taxi
UK based company said in its presentation via the elevated track will be relocated from one location to pod cars. The plan Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) system can also be called. London to Amritsar in India The company is also planning to launch. Pod taxi will operate both the battery and power. There will be no driver. It would conduct computerized. It will seat four to six people.
Traffic will get rid of stress and pollution
Sector-18 Market and the surrounding area has the most traffic pressure. It also increases the amount of air pollution. The taxi operates the iPod from the traffic will avoid contamination with pressure.
It will also feature
There have someone sitting in the cab are two persons killed in the control room will be informed immediately, which will taxi directly to the nearest police station. If someone is sick will then taxi straight to the hospital.

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 8,851.8 kilometers (5,500 miles) from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.


Name: 长城/万里长城
Chinese Pinyin: Cháng Chéng/Wàn Lǐ Cháng Chéng
Length: 8,851.8 km (5,500 miles)
Construction Period: About 2,000 years from the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC) to Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)
Excitement abounds regarding the vicissitude of the Wall of the Qin, Han, and Ming Dynasties.
The Great Wall was originally built in the Spring and Autumn, and Warring States Periods as a defensive fortification by the three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. It went through constant extensions and repairs in later dynasties. It began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great" wall until the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang succeeded in his effort to have the walls joined together to fend off the invasions from the Huns in the north. Since then, the Wall has served as a monument of the Chinese nation throughout history.
The mystery of the construction of the wall is amazing. The construction, which drew heavily on the local resources for construction materials, was carried out in-line with the local conditions under the management of contract and responsibility system. A great army of manpower, composed of soldiers, prisoners and local people, built the wall. The construction result demonstrates the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people.
Great Wall carries a considerable part of Chinese culture. It has long been incorporated into Chinese mythology and symbolism. The most well-known legend is about the collapse of a section of the Wall caused by Meng Jiangnu, who cried bitterly over the death of her husband after he died while building the wall. This legend has been spread widely through textbooks, folk songs and traditional operas.
Following a 45-day long survey of 101 sections of the Wall in different provinces, the China Great Wall Academy reported on December 12, 2002 that the forces of nature and destruction by mankind are bringing about gradual reduction of extent of the Wall with the result that less than 30% remains in good condition. The Academy has called for greater protection of this important relic.
