of Concrete and their Sustainability Concrete was first made with fragments of stone or sand mixed with cementatous materials and water. Concrete has changed over the many years and today it is made with basically the same materials‚ but the main differences between concrete when it was first made and now‚ is the concretes strength and that it is produced in larger amounts. Some of the different types are: • Reinforced concrete • Prestressed concrete • Pre-cast concrete • Concrete Masonry

Definition: Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood). In this stage‚ intelligence is demonstrated through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts. Early in the period there is a return to egocentric thought. Only 35% of high school graduates in industrialized countries obtain formal operations; many people do not think formally during adulthood. Characteristics: The formal operational stage begins at approximately age twelve to and lasts into adulthood. During this

Foam concrete advantages Foam Concrete is normal concrete with bubbles of air inside. Therefore it has the same characteristics with many additional advantages. CLC (foam concrete) blocks are used for building cottages‚ wall insulation in multistory buildings and internal partitions. Also CLC can be produced and poured for floors and roofs on-site. In roofs it can be used because of very good insulating and lightweight. For floors CLC offers faster installation and a less expensive option because

Prestressed concrete construction Prestressed concrete Prestressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete’s natural weakness in tension. It can be used to produce beams‚ floors or bridges with a longer span than is practical with ordinary reinforced concrete. Prestressing tendons (generally of high tensile steel cable or rods) are used to provide a clamping load which produces a compressive stress that balances the tensile stress that the concrete compression member would otherwise

pdf Multi-Level Formwork Load Distribution with Post-Tensioned Slabs By Dr Stephen L Kajewski1 Abstract: Formwork and the associated shoring represent a significant proportion of the costs associated with the construction of multi-level concrete structures. To minimize these costs‚ a limited number of formwork and shoring sets are recycled up the structure as construction progresses‚ eliminating the need for a new set of formwork and shoring with each new slab. When a slab is post-tensioned

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 under calculated tensile stress (Stage 1). Concrete

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE The development of early cracks in reinforced concrete due to incompatibility in the strains of steel & concrete was perhaps the starting point in the development of new material like “Prestressed Concrete”. Prestressed Concrete is a method for overcoming concrete’s natural weakness in tension. INTRODUCTION Prestressed Concrete is basically concrete in which internal stresses of suitable magnitude & distribution are
