Ithini imiksi yephekhi elomile?

Ingxube yodaka lwephakethe elomile ngokuvamile iqukethe usimende wase-Portland, isihlabathi, namanzi. Isilinganiso esithile salezi zingxenye singahluka kuye ngohlelo oluthile kanye nezidingo zephrojekthi. Kodwa-ke, isilinganiso esivamile sodaka lwephakethe elomile ingxenye engu-1 ye-Portland usimende kuya kwezingu-4 izingxenye zesihlabathi ngevolumu.

Isihlabathi esisetshenziswa odakeni lwephakethe elomile kufanele sibe yingxube yesihlabathi esimahhadlahhadla futhi esicolekile ukuze kwakhiwe ingxube ezinze futhi engaguquki. Kunconywa ukusebenzisa isihlabathi sekhwalithi ephezulu esihlanzekile, esingenayo imfucumfucu, futhi sibekwe ngendlela efanele.

Amanzi ayadingeka futhi ukuze kwakhiwe ingxube esebenzayo. Inani lamanzi adingekayo lizoncika ezintweni ezimbalwa, njengezinga lokushisa lendawo, umswakama, nokuvumelana okufiswayo kwengxube. Ngokuvamile, amanzi anele kufanele afakwe ukuze kwakheke ingxube enomswakama ngokwanele ukubamba isimo sayo lapho icinywa, kodwa ingabi manzi kangangokuthi iba isobho noma ilahlekelwe isimo sayo.

Ukuxuba i-dry pack mortar, izithako ezomile kufanele zihlanganiswe ndawonye ebhala noma esitsheni sokuxuba, bese amanzi kufanele engezwe kancane kancane ngenkathi egoqa ngokuqhubekayo kuze kube yilapho kutholakala ukuvumelana okufunayo. Kubalulekile ukuxuba udaka kahle ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izithako ezomile zimanziswa futhi ingxube ihlanganiswe kahle.

Sekukonke, kubalulekile ukulandela imiyalelo yomkhiqizi kanye nezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu lapho uhlanganisa udaka lwephakethe elomile ukuze uqinisekise ukufakwa okuyimpumelelo nokuhlala isikhathi eside.
