Recipe Ideas w/ sources: This is a process of how to make the concrete - Maddi

^^I thought that this link might be helpful. I couldn't find the individual ingredients to make the cement ourselves, so tomorrow, we can pick which cement mix will be the best for a good price and our purpose. - Maddi

equation: 6% air + 11% cement + 40% aggregate + 25% sand + 16% water + 2% sugar --> 100% concrete

Brand Name ideas: Team Concrete Logo Ideas: explanation: The House Logo symbolizes that our organization makes houses and the gray color is the color of the concrete that we make. The Circle Logo is just an alternate logo for the times that we can't fit the house on anything or alternate uses. How does heat affect concrete? -Emily

FINAL THINGY

emily burns General Purpose: Our purpose for this proposal is to build new homes for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The cement in Haiti was weak before the earthquake, which is why most of Haiti’s roads and homes crumbled to the ground. Because of the mass devastation, it is now our job to help rebuild Haiti and prepare them for future natural disasters.

Augustine Choi General Process: In order to create the perfect concrete that was created by T.E.A.M CONCRETE, there are stages that has to be done. The ingredients to make this certain type of concrete are portland cement, aggregate (sand and gravel), and water. When mixing the portland cement and water creates a reaction and compounds in the cement bond with the water molecules strengthening our concrete. We make sure the ratio of water is perfect because allowing too much water makes the concrete weak and too much makes the concrete unworkable. After the mixture of portland cement and water, we add the aggregates; the sand and gravel is used to make the houses strong with wear resistance and using soft aggregates such as perlite and crushed bricks leads to a weak concrete with low wear resistance. The aggregates helps us buy less of the expensive portland cement making our concrete cheaper and affordable for Haiti. We make sure our concrete is top quality and inexpensive, so Haiti can afford to rebuild and strengthen their country with the best materials.

Maddi T.E.A.M CONCRETE is best for what Haiti needs, because we know how to properly cure the concrete in very hot weather. Our company knows that on hot, dry days, concrete cures faster than usual. To prevent it from drying out too fast and crumbling, we do a number of special things. We constantly mist the concrete with water, and to lock in the moisture, we lay a burlap sheet over it. T.E.A.M CONCRETE is also best, because our company provides enough manpower to quickly place the concrete, so it does not dry out and disintegrate in the process of laying it out. //Powerblanket.com//, a website that specifically deals with curing concrete in hot weather, states that it is best to work very early in the morning or later in the evening, to avoid the highest mid-day temperatures. This ensures that the concrete will not dry out too quickly, due to the heat. To allow enough time for the concrete to strengthen, we cure it for 7 days at temperatures between 65-85 degrees fahrenheit. If there is sun strong while we are working, our company sets up sunshades to protect the concrete from crusting and cracking. T.E.A.M CONCRETE is also unique, because we retard the curing process by adding a small amount of sugar. Doing this slows down the curing time, which allows for long-term strength, and prevents against Haiti’s high temperatures.

TOMMY WHEN YOU GET THIS, PLEASE CALL ME AT 201-725-6660. IF YOU CANT/DONT WANT TO, JUST REMEMBER TO EDIT THE PARAGRAPHS/ MAKE SURE TO REFER TO SOME OF OUR SOURCES (IT SAYS ON THE RUBRIC). SORRY FOR THE CAPS...JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!! :) I ALSO CHANGED THE FORMULA AND CHART. IT NOW INCLUDES THE SUGAR. I ALSO EDITED SOME OF THE PARAGRAPHS...
