Concrete Manufacturing Proposal March 5, 2010

Team Members: Matt Goldstein, Megan Lynch Jason Prezant, and Jesse Rosenthal

__Introduction__ The people of Haiti are very poor and have to make their own concrete. Which was a large factor in the reason that almost all buildings fell during the recent earthquake. Our company is trying to do our parts to help the Haitian people. We are creating a mixture for the concrete that would hold together if this were to happen again. Haiti is also an extremely poor country so we are coming up with the cheapest way to do this possible.

__Products__

Sand: $408.25 Each bag of sand weighs 40-45 lbs. So 23 bags is just than enough to reach 1,000 lbs. of sand. Each package is $17.75. This product is from Home Depot.



To make concrete, We use cement, sand, and gravel

(1) Cement + sand

Mixing these will create a filler to give the concrete more hold and durability. You mix these in a 1:2 ratio

(2) Cement/Sand + Gravel

At this point you will have 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts gravel. The gravel is used for a filter to take up space to be able to use more space for less concrete.
