Types of admixture to be used in concrete depend on the structure's intended use, design strength, pouring conditions, and other factors.Admixture is an ingredient added in concrete along with cement,…
Flow table test on concrete is done to determine the fluidity of concrete. This also indicates the workability or consistency of the concrete
Construction joints in concrete are a crucial and fundamental component of civil engineering and construction. Changes in temperature and moisture can cause concrete to expand and contract. Because concrete is…
PCC concrete of Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) is without reinforcement steel. Plain cement concrete (PCC) is high in compression and very low in tension. Plain cement concrete is commonly used…
Curing of concrete is the process of maintaining requisite moisture and temperature in hardened concrete for continued hydration. The curing of concrete plays a prime role in maintaining the design…
Concrete Mixing or Mixing of concrete is the complete blending of the ingredients necessary for the production of a homogeneous concrete.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity test is an example of the non-destructive tests of concrete. Non-destructive tests (NDT) and destructive tests (DT) are the tests done on hardened concrete. Concrete is the…
Column jacketing enhances the load capacity, durability, and seismic resistance of structural columns by adding materials like concrete, steel, and fiber-reinforced polymers around existing columns. This method is essential for…
Shrinkage of concrete refers to the reduction in its volume over time, primarily due to moisture loss and chemical reactions during hydration. This phenomenon can lead to shrinkage cracking of…
Waffle slabs are ribbed reinforced concrete slabs. A waffle slab often referred to as a ribbed slab, is a structural component that is plain on top and has a grid…
