What is concrete creep?
What is concrete creep? Creep refers to the continuous deformation of a structural member under a constant load. This phenomenon has a significant impact on various materials, particularly concrete. The precise behavior of concrete creep depends on factors such as [...]
What is the slump test?
Concrete Slump Test The concrete slump test is conducted to determine the workability or consistency of the concrete mixture provided in the laboratory or in the field. In other words, a concrete slump test is conducted to investigate the uniform [...]
Concrete curing
Concrete curing When discussing the concept of concrete curing, we are talking about the process of regulating the concrete's moisture content. The most crucial curing period is 28 days following concrete placement. Why are this procedure and its timing so [...]
The difference between ready concrete and manual concrete
The Difference between Ready-Mix Concrete and Site-Mixed Concrete Concrete is made of three main components which are aggregates, water, and cement, however, the final product can be produced in two ways: Ready-mixed or cite mixed which is produced in factories. [...]
What is a concrete mixing plan?
What is a concrete mixing plan? Concrete mixing is the process of combining various materials to produce the strength and durability needed for the concrete structure. Making the ideal concrete mix is a difficult task because each component of the [...]
green concrete
Green concrete The idea of using green concrete or eco-concrete is increasingly promoted in many countries in recent years. Green concrete is produced using wastes as a component and by manufacturing processes with no harm to the environment. The criterion [...]
