With the passage of time, technology is getting more advanced and there has been a rapid growth in the concrete properties. Concrete is improving day by day. There is not yet been an exact definition …

Concrete Quality Control | Curing Concrete
The quality control is one of the most important aspects taken into account during the manufacturing of the materials. By little variation in water to cement ratio, strength drops very much. The cracking arises very …
Continue readingEffect Of Temperature On Shrinkage | Thermal Coefficient
When exposed area is large then temperature effect is also considered. Because, concrete expands with the increase in temperature and in the same manner it contracts with the decreasing temperature. This type of change in …

Mineral admixtures and chemical admixtures are the extra ingredients other than water, cement, aggregates and fibers. These are added to the concrete batch plant during batch mixing or at the start when other quantities are …
Continue readingTemperature Effect On Concrete Workability | Effect On Concrete Flowability | Conclusion
When fresh concrete is laid at the site then proper curing of concrete is required, because structures are exposed to the environment and in these conditions if there is no such an arrangement against the …
Continue readingAmount of Water In Concrete | Effect On Concrete Workability | Reason Of Segregation | Solution
Water amount is the most prominent factor that affects the workability of freshly laid concrete. Workability is essentially the measure of how easy fresh concrete flow in between the voids. If concrete workability is more …
Continue readingEffect of Mixing time On Concrete Workability | Effect On Slump | Conclusion
With the passage of time after mixing ingredients of concrete with water, workability of concrete starts shrinking. This happens because of fluidity loss from the concrete. Fluidity is the amount of available water in concrete …
Continue readingBleeding In Concrete | Effect On Workability Of Concrete
Bleeding in concrete is the movement of water to the surface of the concrete after manipulation. Bleeding is more prominent on the surface of concrete, when water to cement ratio is higher and it occurs …
Continue readingConcrete Secant Modulus | Procedure | Benefits
A slope of the secant between two points on the curve is known as secant modulus. Secant modulus is applicable when concrete specimen shows non-linearity or where initial tangent modulus not gives too much required …
Continue readingModulus Of Elasticity | Concrete Modulus | Initial Tangent Concrete Modulus | Procedure
Elastic modulus of concrete is not easy to determine, because of non-linear behavior of concrete. Concrete is very strong in compression but very weak in tension and this is the main reason for non-linear behavior …
