র‍্যাপিড হার্ডেনিং সিমেন্ট (RHC) কে উচ্চ প্রাথমিক শক্তি সিমেন্টও বলা হয়। দ্রুত শক্ত হয়ে যাওয়া সিমেন্ট এবং সাধারণ পোর্টল্যান্ড সিমেন্টের মধ্যে প্রাথমিক পার্থক্য হল চুনের পরিমাণ। চুনের বড় অনুপাত হল দ্রুত শক্ত হয়ে যাওয়া সিমেন্টের স্বতন্ত্র বৈশিষ্ট্য।

ম্যানুফ্যাকচারিং

দ্রুত শক্ত হয়ে যাওয়া সিমেন্ট অধিক নিয়ন্ত্রিত অবস্থায় ওপিসি-র তুলনায় উচ্চ তাপমাত্রায় পোড়ানো হয়

শক্তি

দ্রুত শক্ত হওয়া সিমেন্টের 3 দিনের শক্তি ওপিসি-এর 7 দিনের শক্তির সমতুল্য যখন উভয় সিমেন্টের জন্য জল-সিমেন্টের অনুপাত একই ধরা হয়। শক্তি বৃদ্ধির হার এই কারণে যে ট্রাই-ক্যালসিয়াম সিলিকেট (C3S) এর উচ্চ অনুপাত RHC-তে সিমেন্ট ক্লিঙ্কারের সূক্ষ্মভাবে নাকালের সাথে রয়েছে। যদিও, RHC যে হারে শক্তি অর্জন করে সেই হারে OPC যে হারে শক্তি অর্জন করে তার চেয়ে বেশি, চূড়ান্ত শক্তি RHC এর জন্য একটু বেশি।

বৈশিষ্ট্য

প্রাথমিক সেটিং সময়: 30 মিনিট

চূড়ান্ত সেটিং সময়: 600 মিনিট

নির্দিষ্ট পৃষ্ঠটি 3250 cm2/gm এর চেয়ে বেশি।

RHC OPC থেকে হালকা।

ব্যবহারসমূহ

দ্রুত শক্ত হওয়া সিমেন্ট বেশিরভাগ রাস্তা নির্মাণে ব্যবহৃত হয় যেখানে দীর্ঘ সময়ের জন্য যানবাহন থামানো যায় না। এছাড়াও, RHC ব্যবহার করা হয় যেখানে ফর্মওয়ার্ক পুনঃব্যবহারের জন্য তাড়াতাড়ি সরানো প্রয়োজন। এটি সেই পরিস্থিতিতেও ব্যবহার করা হয় যেখানে পরবর্তী নির্মাণের জন্য পর্যাপ্ত শক্তি যত তাড়াতাড়ি সম্ভব সম্ভব। এগুলি প্রিকাস্ট স্ল্যাব, পোস্ট, বৈদ্যুতিক খুঁটি তৈরিতেও ব্যবহৃত হয়।

সুবিধা

দ্রুত শক্ত হয়ে যাওয়া সিমেন্টের নিরাময় সময় কম হওয়ায় এটি লাভজনক বলে প্রমাণিত হয়।

আরএইচসি-র ক্ষেত্রে সিমেন্টের কিউরিং এবং শক্ত হওয়ার সময় সংকোচন কম হয়।

RHC সালফার প্রতিরোধে ভাল।

তুলনামূলক কম সময়ে শক্তি অর্জন করায় নির্মাণের ভালো গতি অর্জন করা যায়।

অসুবিধা

এটি সাধারণ পোর্টল্যান্ড সিমেন্টের চেয়ে ব্যয়বহুল।

অতিরিক্ত দ্রুত হার্ডেনিং সিমেন্ট

ম্যানুফ্যাকচারিং: ইন্টারগ্রাইন্ডিং ক্যালসিয়াম ক্লোরাইড (CaCl2) সাথে RHC, অতিরিক্ত RHC পাওয়া যেতে পারে। উত্পাদন প্রক্রিয়ার সময় ক্যালসিয়াম ক্লোরাইডের শতাংশ 3% এর বেশি হওয়া উচিত নয়।

শক্তি: অতিরিক্ত RHC এর শক্তি 1-2 দিনে RHC এর তুলনায় প্রায় 25% বেশি যেখানে শক্তি 7 দিন পরে মাত্র 10-20% অতিক্রম করে।

ব্যবহার: ঠান্ডা আবহাওয়ার কংক্রিটিংয়ের জন্য অতিরিক্ত দ্রুত শক্ত হওয়া সিমেন্ট ব্যবহার করা হয়।

The Importance of Mindfulness for Students in Bangladesh

The Importance of Mindfulness for Students in Bangladesh

As I have been serving as a teacher for several years, I have observed that students in our country are under immense pressure to succeed academically. With a highly competitive education system and limited opportunities, it can be easy for students to feel overwhelmed and stressed. However, practicing mindfulness can help students stay focused and centered, and ultimately lead to greater success.

  1. What is Mindfulness? 

Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the current moment, without judgment or distraction. This means paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, and staying focused on the task at hand.

  1. How Does Mindfulness Work?

Mindfulness works by training the brain to focus on the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. This involves paying attention to one’s thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment, and acknowledging them without becoming overwhelmed by them. By practicing mindfulness regularly, students in Bangladesh can develop a greater sense of self-awareness and learn to manage their thoughts and emotions in a more constructive way.

Studies have shown that mindfulness can actually change the brain’s neural pathways, resulting in increased activity in regions associated with positive emotions and decreased activity in regions associated with negative emotions. This can lead to a greater sense of well-being and reduced stress levels. Additionally, mindfulness has been found to have a positive impact on the immune system, resulting in improved physical health.

In short, mindfulness works by rewiring the brain to focus on the present moment and manage thoughts and emotions in a more positive and constructive way. With regular practice, students in Bangladesh can reap the many benefits of mindfulness and improve their overall well-being.

  1. Importance of Mindfulness for Students in Bangladesh

There are several benefits of mindfulness for students in Bangladesh, including:

  • Improved academic performance: When students practice mindfulness, they learn to tune out distractions and stay focused on their studies, which can lead to improved academic performance.
  • Reduced stress and anxiety: Mindfulness can help students manage the stress and anxiety that often comes with a highly competitive education system.
  • Increased self-awareness: By practicing mindfulness, students can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
  • Improved mental health: Mindfulness can also improve mental health by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

According to a report published by the Dhaka Tribune, the demand for mindfulness and meditation programs has increased by 50% in the last five years in Bangladesh. The report highlights that people from various backgrounds, including students, professionals, and homemakers, are seeking mindfulness practices to improve their mental health and well-being. The report suggests that the increasing demand for mindfulness programs in Bangladesh indicates a growing awareness of the importance of mental health and well-being.

  1. How to Practice Mindfulness: There are several ways that students in Bangladesh can practice mindfulness, including:
  • Meditation: Taking a few minutes each day to meditate can help students stay centered and focused.
  • Breathing exercises: Deep breathing exercises can help students calm their minds and reduce stress.
  • Mindful eating: Eating mindfully, by paying attention to the taste, texture, and aroma of food, can help students develop a greater appreciation for the present moment.
  • Mindful walking: Taking a walk and being fully present at the moment can help students reduce stress and improve their mental health.

In conclusion, mindfulness is a valuable tool for students in Bangladesh that can help them stay focused, reduce stress, and ultimately achieve greater academic success. As a teacher, I encourage my students to practice mindfulness regularly, and I have seen firsthand the positive impact it can have on their lives. By taking just a few minutes each day to practice mindfulness, students in Bangladesh can improve their mental health and overall well-being. So, I urge all students to give mindfulness a try and see the positive effects for themselves.
