Carbonation and Corrosion

July 20, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Durability

Carbonation is the term used to describe the effect of carbon dioxide on a material. The phenomenon rarely leads to structural problems but carbonation-induced corrosion can lead to unsightly spalling on structures. The repair costs,

Concrete Aggregates: Effects and Classification

July 16, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Materials

Aggregates: Effects and Classification Aggregates constitute a skeleton of concrete. Approximately three-quarters of the volume of conventional concrete is occupied by aggregate. It is inevitable that a constituent occupying such a large percentage of the

Rodded Unit Weight of Coarse Aggregates Test (ASTM C29)

July 16, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Tests

Rodded Unit Weight of Coarse Aggregates according to Astm C29 PURPOSE Astm C29: Determination of the unit weight of coarse aggregates in a compacted condition. This test method is applicable to aggregates not exceeding 15

Concrete in Compression (ACI 318)

Concrete in Compression It is generally accepted that the behavior of a reinforced concrete member under load depends on the stress–strain relationship of the materials, as well as the type of stress to which it is

Concrete in Tension: Tensile Strength of Concrete

July 11, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Concrete Design, Properties, Structural

Concrete in Tension: Tensile Strength of Concrete The tensile and compressive strengths of concrete are not proportional, and an increase in compressive strength is accompanied by an appreciably smaller percentage increase in tensile strength. According
