Understanding Compressive Strength of Concrete- In the construction industry, the compressive strength of concrete is a critical factor in ensuring the durability and stability of structures. The table below showcases the compressive strength of various grades of concrete at different ages. 📷 In the image, you can see concrete cubes being prepared for compressive strength testing. Understanding these values is essential for selecting the right concrete grade for different construction projects, ensuring safety, and meeting project specifications. #Concrete #CompressiveStrength #Construction #Engineering #CivilEngineering #erdeepak

Concrete is the gift of modern day civil engineering. It is extremely forgiving. However for long life certain discipline has to be maintained during its casting and Vibrating the Concrete is paramount unless we use self compacting concrete. Video below highlights the point very well
//Civil structural engineer// //9.000+followers// //Click the Follow button for the brainstorming challenges and the latest developments of Engineering//
The vibration of concrete is not must always. There are other types of concrete that do not require vibration. However, most of the time, we do vibrate concrete to achieve the required compaction. When concreting piles, larger raft foundations, underwater construction, etc. are done it is very difficult to vibrate the concrete for getting adequate compaction. In those situations, we use self-compacting concrete where it compacted its self. Except for the self-compacting concrete, all the other types of concrete are normally vibrated by suitable means for consolidation. The followings are the key factors to consider important for having adequate vibration of concrete. +To reduce the air contained in the concrete. Generally, 5%-8% of voids from total volume contains in the concrete mix. With the vibration, it reduces significantly. +To consolidate concrete adequately. +To avoid segregation +To avoid bleeding ……………………………………………………………………………..

Slipform concrete construction ... moving forward
Is it just us or is slipform concrete construction mesmerizing? With the help of a hydraulic jacking system, the form is gradually raised in one-inch increments. As the concrete hardens at the bottom, fresh concrete is poured at the top, allowing for a continuous pouring process 24 hours per day until reaching the top of the new structure. Our expertise in this cutting-edge technique allows us to deliver projects with exceptional speed, strength, and cost-effectiveness. Learn more, here: https://bit.ly/3T0lPkC

PS=Ø® is featured in the Tech Spotlight of this month’s issue of Concrete International (CI), American Concrete Institute magazine. The article titled "Designing for Construction Productivity and Safety—In Practice, New applications for PS=Ø® couplers,” discusses how our system is being used to eliminate pour strips and mitigate restraint to shortening (RTS) in projects all over North America. Several post-tensioned (PT) and reinforced concrete applications are highlighted, and of particular interest are the applications showing how (PT) stressing can be achieved using temporary stressing strips. PS=Ø® couplers are easy to implement and cost-effective, resulting in higher-quality, more durable, and longer-lasting concrete structures that enables faster construction—truly a win-win for the concrete industry. #concreteconstruction #eliminatepourstrips

What is mass concrete? Mass concrete refers to a type of concrete construction that involves large volumes of concrete placed and cured to ensure thermal control and structural stability. It's often used in structures like dams, foundations, or any application where the heat generated during hydration needs to be managed to prevent cracking. Special considerations, such as cooling measures or insulating materials, may be employed to control the temperature rise during the curing process. In mass concrete, the heat generated during hydration can lead to temperature differentials within the structure, causing potential cracking and compromising its integrity. To address this, engineers employ techniques like incorporating low-heat-generating cement, using cooling pipes, or insulating the concrete to regulate temperature and enhance the durability of the structure. The goal is to manage the heat dissipation throughout the mass, ensuring uniformity in curing and preventing thermal stresses. #civilengineering #concrete #concretestructures #concretetechnology #civilconstruction #concreteinnovation
