How can we prevent segregation

In Leeds, people held more positive feelings towards minorities when they interacted with them in institutional and social spaces. But only encounters in social spaces would make people more friendly to new minority neighbours.

So, while sharing a workplace with minorities can improve feelings toward them, this does not necessarily translate into neighbourly friendliness among white British people. In Warsaw, we found a positive link between feelings and meeting minority people in public and consumption spaces. They often become the sites of the first and — as it turns out — most meaningful encounters with non-Polish residents. All this confirms that contact between people from different backgrounds is crucial for building cohesive societies — and we know that residential segregation makes this contact less likely.

Formwork should be water tight so that paste should leakage from the forms. Try not to vibrate formwork. Do not allow concrete to flow. Utilize the vibrator effectively and never use the vibrator to spread a heap of concrete over a large area. Vibrate the concrete for just the right time-not too long, not too less. Use chemical admixtures such as air entraining agent in the mix. Entrained air reduces the danger of segregation. If any segregation is observed in concrete, remixing should be done so to make it homogeneous again.

Avoiding Segregation in Concrete Precautions to Take The concrete mix should be properly designed with optimum quantity of water to make a cohesive mix. Such concrete will not exhibit any tendency for segregation. If at any stage segregation is observed, then remixing should be done to make the concrete again homogeneous. Admixtures, such as pozzolanic materials or air entraining agent should be used to avoid segregation.

Due to bleeding, concrete loses its uniformity. The accumulation of water forms a void between the cement and other constituent materials hence reducing the strength. It also reduces the bond between reinforcement and concrete. Controlling the water-cement ratio can prevent bleeding. Similarly proper proportioning and complete mixing can also reduce bleeding.

Also, the use of air-entraining agents is recommended. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. A lot of useful information here.
