The task of placing concrete and asphalt slabs has been started today in Arganda.
The task of placing concrete and asphalt slabs has been started today in Arganda.
First pieces of concrete has been successfully elaborated. Of course, a lot more of these are needed. The next step is placing them in the correct position in Madrid as well as in Arganda del Rey.
Once the concrete moulds are made, concrete slabs development can be started. The mixture contains gravel, sand, cement and water and it is put in the moulds.
There will be two types of basis in the banks of proofs, one of them will be made of asphalt and the other one will be made of concrete. The asphalt slabs have been obtained as we described before: asphalting an area with 4 square meters and cutting it. However, the concrete slabs must be smaller, 0,25 square meters. The moulds construction for these concrete […]
There are three different sizes for the asphalt slabs: 4 square meters, 2 square meters and 1 square meter. The materials that will be only placed in asphalt need 4 square meters platforms, the materials that will be placed in both surfaces need 2 square meters platform and the materials for the leaching tests will need 1 square meter platform. In addition, more small platforms […]
As mentioned earlier, there are two places where platforms are located: Madrid and Arganda del Rey. The current task is continuing with the asphalting process at IETcc (Arganda del Rey). The moulds have been previously assembled and their area is 2 square meters.
The materials to test in the LIFE-Photoscaling project will be placed or spread in two different types of platforms: concrete and asphalt. Moreover, these materials will be located in Madrid as well as in Arganda del Rey; both places belong to IETcc-CSIC. In this task, the asphalting process has been started at IETcc (Madrid). There are enough platforms to complete the three banks of proofs […]
