I have a new study for an app which measure the concrete workability (Slump) of the fresh concrete, it's honour to me when I see your comments about my attempt, please see the attached link to see the draft https://www.academia.edu/44368548/My_suggestion_for_the_concrete_trucks_companies

Concrete is a blood line of the construction projects where the structures are built in RCC. It is of high importance to keep the supply of concrete smooth either producing it on site or by buying it from other manufacturer. If you are working on concrete manufacturing unit then, the...

why cement having only 3months expiry date and what will happen to concrete if we use after cement expired ? Please explain

Hi, I am a Quality Engineer, having 12 years of Experience in reputed organizations like L&T, Simplex Infrastructure Limited, etc. I am here to share all of my experience with all construction engineers or students. To do this I created a website Home | Construction Test, where anyone can learn...

Hello, After many tests, it seems that ANY combination of hard aggregates in my castings produces holes here and there which I try to prevent as much as possible. what is the best mix ratio from cement/sand ( no hard aggregates) for thin castings such as bowls and planters? I know that...

On one of my project's structural member, the Site Engineer In charge cut the rebar with gas torch cutter. The Quality manager immediately ordered the work to be stopped and issued NCR. What is the reason that rebars need to be cut with a rebar cutting machine and not gas torch cutter ? Need...

How GGBS is Made inside Steel manufacturing Factory On our planet, Iron is not found in pure state, we call it as ore. Iron Ores are often oxidized and mixed with Silicates (sand). During manufacturing of steel these ores are heated above 1600 degree centigrade in the furnace, there are many...

Concrete is the most abundant man-made material in the world; it is the backbone of modern society. But cement, the critical ingredient that gives concrete its strength, is responsible for up to 7% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. CarbonCure manufactures a bolt-on technology that...

10 Precautions to be taken during placing of Concrete Following precautions should be taken during placing of concrete. 1. The formwork or the surface which is to receive the fresh concrete should be properly cleaned, prepared and well watered. 2. It is desirable to deposit concrete as...

The Compressive Strength of Cubic Concrete Specimens Compressive strength of concrete: Out of many test applied to the concrete, this is the utmost important which gives an idea about all the characteristics of concrete. By this single test one judge that whether Concreting has been done...

Slump Test for Concrete Ref : IS 1199 Purpose : To find out the workability of fresh concrete Salient features of apparatus: Slump Cone: Top diameter - 100 mm Bottom diameter - 200 mm Height - 300 mm Thickness - 1.6 mm Tamping rod: Diameter - 16 mm Length - 600 mm...

Compressive strength test for concrete Ref : IS 516 Purpose : To find out the compressive strength of concrete Salient features of apparatus: Compression testing machine Specimen Test Procedure: Remove the cubes from water after curing period Place the...

Concrete is a composite material that essentially consists of a binding medium embedded with Fine-Aggregate (typically sand) and Coarse Aggregate (typically gravel) with or without chemical and mineral admixture. Concrete is neither as strong nor as tough as steel, so why is it the most widely...

Special Types of concrete you can produce at your construction project When it comes to a concrete, all might thought its just a mixture of cement, sand and aggregates. there is lot in the concrete that we can do, addition in ingredients and material properties gives concrete a different...

Concrete is a material which is a basic for any project. I will be helping you out by sharing my experience with all of you (You too can help me in learning new tech's in this field by sharing your experience through doing post on forum). After reading all posts you will be in position to say...

Standard deviation is a measure of the variation of concrete strength of a set of data from its mean. it is similar to six sigma process where we plot a normal distribution curve to get a better idea about spread and deviation. If the strength results are away from the mean, the deviation...

This is a common question, asked by many. We all have seen, Almost everyone working at project site, do insist to keep on curing by pouring water, wrapping concrete surface with hessian cloths etc. Do the poured water really increase the strength of concrete? What if, i dont cure concrete...

Concrete mix designing is a vital part of any construction activity. Why we do mix design when proportions for material are listed in IS codes for various grades? The listed mixes have more cement content than required and have fix properties like workability, retention time etc. In order to...

Specification for concrete work of high rise building Concrete shall be transported and placed by approved methods that ensure segregation or loss of material will not occur. Concrete drop during vertical placement shall not exceed 2.5m. For heights greater than 2.5m, the Contractor shall pour...
