The followings are the factors that affect the properties of Fiber Reinforced Concrete: Types of Fibers Used That fiber should be used, whose modulus of elasticity is higher that the concrete matrix. If the modulus of elasticity is higher, they help to carry the load by the tensile strength of…
Factors Affecting Setting and Hardening of Cement
The Impact of Cement’s Composition The mineral composition of cement and its ratios are the main factors affecting the setting and hardening of the cement. Different mineral components will reveal distinct characteristics when reacting with water. For example, the increased content of C3A can speed up the setting & hardening…
