object thereby strengthening it. The idea of pretensioned concrete has been around since the late 19th century‚ but its use was limited by the quality of materials available at the time. It wasn’t until the 1920s that materials of a suitable quality were available in sufficient quantity to allow pretensioned concrete to be used with confidence. The pioneers of this field were Freyssinet‚ Magnel and Hoyer. Description: In pre-tensioned concrete tensile elements such as cables‚ ribbons‚ or rods are clamped

Shrinkage in concrete or mortar depends on a number of factors • Cement concrete: Richer the mix greater is the drying shrinkage. • Water content: More water in mix induces greater shrinkage • Aggregates : Large aggregates with good grading has less shrinkage for same workability as less water

POLYMER COCNCRETE 1. Introduction Despite being thought of as a modern material‚ concrete has been in use for hundreds of years. The word concrete comes from the Latin concretus‚ which means “mixed together” or compounded. Concrete is an extremely popular structural material due to its low cost and easy fabrication. Concrete is made up of sand or stone‚ known as aggregate‚ combined with cement paste to bind it. Aggregate can be of various sizes. It is broadly categorized as fine (commonly

Musique Concrete Music has existed since the beginning of time‚ evolving and changing with the times and culture. From monks chanting to the Beatles in the 1960’s‚ there is a long line of the evolution of music. The existence of musique concrete was another step in the world’s music history. But before going any further perhaps the definition of musique concrete should be specified. “ Musique concrete is the name given to a class of electronic music produced from editing together fragments of

Consolidation of plastic concrete is termed as compaction. In the process of compaction‚ efforts are only directed to reduce the voids in the compacted concrete. Compaction of concrete can be done either manually or mechanically. When it is done manually it is called hand compaction or tamping‚ and in second case it is termed as machine compaction. Hand compaction: Hand compaction is done with the help of steel tamping rods‚ or timber screeds. Marrow and deep members are compacted with tamping

Concrete and Steel Testing BIP Geotechnical and Material Testing Engineers and Water Supply Bakakeng‚ Baguio City In the construction‚ it is better to know the strength of concrete and steel to be used especially in a high rise building. Our Laboratory No. 1 for this Midterm is to determine the slump of freshly concrete mixed with Portland cement concrete‚ the strength and the mixtures of the concrete. July 27‚ 2012‚ we performed our laboratory. We the second group‚ use crushed aggregates

Mixture proportioning: Procedures outlined in ACI 211.1 should be used for mixture proportioning. Typical proportions for heavyweight concrete are shown in Table 2. MATERIALS : Cement Cements conforming to ASTM C 150‚ which would be suitable for conventional concrete and produce the required physical properties‚ are suitable for use in heavyweight concrete. Aggregate Thorough examination and evaluation of heavyweight aggregate sources are necessary to obtain material suitable for the type

The greatness of Roman architecture is built‚ quite literally‚ upon the foundation of two important items: the discovery of concrete and the adoption of the arch from the Greeks. Concrete was an exceptional development within the Roman world and catapulted Roman construction into new heights of efficiency and stability. According to Kamm (1995)‚ the origin of Roman concrete can be found in a volcanic earth known as pozzolana‚ initially found near the Greek settlement of Puteoli. It would later be

Geopolymers are new materials for fire- and heat-resistant coatings and adhesives‚ medicinal applications‚ high-temperature ceramics‚ new binders for fire-resistant fiber composites‚ toxic and radioactive waste encapsulation and new cements for concrete. The properties and uses of geopolymers are being explored in many scientific and industrial disciplines: modern inorganic chemistry‚ physical chemistry‚ colloid chemistry‚ mineralogy‚ geology‚ and in other types of engineering process technologies
