The Bcg Matrix of Hp
To achieve a definite compact mass of masonry, there always requires some binding material, which can be easily transformed into a paste and can firmly hold bricks or stones together. The most popular and prominent binding materials of the present age are lime and cement, as they are not found in nature in ready form; they have to be prepared from raw materials. The parent raw material from which they are derived is limestone found abundantly in nature.
Cement is a finally powdered substance, which possesses strong adhesive powers, when combined with water. This is widely used as a material for cementing purpose in construction industry. Now a day, cement is considered as an important binding material due to its use in the building industry. It is used in making all types of construction/buildings, and its demand increases with the improvement in real income, urbanization and education.
At the time of independence there were only four cement factories in Pakistan, by the time the population increased, which also enhanced the construction activities and hence gave birth to a reasonable demand of cement in the country. The increase in population justified the erection of new cement plants in the country; so, at present we have 28 cement producing plants, in which 23 are producing cement now, one cement plant if for only white cement and 4 are going to start producing cement by the end of this year, and these plants are producing yearly about 18 million tons of cement.

    For concrete is a mixture of coarse (stone or brick chips) and fine (generally sand or crushed stone) aggregates with a binder material like usually Portland cement. When mixed with a small amount of water, the cement hydrates to form microscopic opaque crystal lattices encapsulating and locking the aggregate into a rigid structure. Typical concrete mixes have high resistance to compressive stresses about 28 MPa. However, any appreciable tension (due to bending) will break the microscopic rigid lattice, resulting in cracking and separation of the concrete. For this reason, typical non-reinforced concrete must be well supported to prevent the development of tension.…

    Concrete is used in the majority of buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams for its strength. It gains strength over time, and is not weakened by moisture, mold or pests. Concrete structures can also withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Roman buildings over 1,500 years old such as the Colosseum are living examples of the strength and durability of concrete. In the result of concrete being motionless, compressed, and non-porous, it does not attract mold or lose its key properties over time. Concrete compared to other building materials is extremely durable, yet remains affordable.…

    Roman Pozzolanic Concrete

    • 680 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Concrete is a mixture made up of an aggregate, a binding agent and water. Typically the aggregate is gravel, sand or small stones. This is the filler that gives the final product its mass. The binding agent is what causes the mixture to set and harden. When the aggregate and binding agent are combined with water a thick mixture is created that can be poured into a form which then solidifies. In early civilization the binding agent was typically limestone powder or gypsum. The Romans discovered the use of pozzolana as a binding agent (Yegeul, n.d.). Pozzolana is a fine, sandy, volcanic ash which when used as a binding agent creates a strong durable concrete (Wikipedia, 2011, Pozzolana).…

    {draw:frame} The BCG matrix method is based on the product life cycle theory that can be used to determine what priorities should be given in the product portfolio of a business unit. To ensure long-term value creation, a company should have a portfolio of products that contains both high-growth products in need of cash inputs and low-growth products that generate a lot of cash. It has 2 dimensions: market share and market growth. The basic idea behind it is that the bigger the market share a product has or the faster the product's market grows the better it is for the company. Placing products in the BCG matrix results in 4 categories in a portfolio of a company: Stars (=high growth, high market share) use large amounts of cash and are leaders in the business so they should also generate large amounts of cash. frequently roughly in balance on net cash flow. However if needed any attempt should be made to hold share, because the rewards will be a cash cow if market share is kept. Cash Cows (=low growth, high market share) profits and cash generation should be high , and because of the low growth, investments needed should be low. Keep profits high Foundation of a company Dogs (=low growth, low market share) avoid and minimize the number of dogs in a company. beware of expensive ‘turn around plans’. deliver cash, otherwise liquidate Question Marks (= high growth, low market share) have the worst cash characteristics of all, because high demands and low returns due to low market share if nothing is done to change the market share, question marks will simply absorb great amounts of cash and later, as the growth stops, a dog. either invest heavily or sell off or invest nothing and generate whatever cash it can. Increase market share or deliver cash The BCG Matrix method can help understand a frequently made strategy mistake: having a one-size-fits-all-approach to strategy, such as a…

    The main raw materials used in the cement manufacturing process are limestone, sand, shale, clay, and iron ore. The main material, limestone, is usually mined on site while the other minor materials may be mined either on site or in nearby quarries. Another source of raw materials is industrial by-products. The use of by-product materials to replace natural raw materials is a key element in achieving sustainable development.…
