Concrete Core Testing for Strength – Sampling and Test Procedure

A concrete core test is a very famous and well-established testing method for the compressive strength of the hardened concrete. Concrete core testing enables visual inspection of the interior regions of the concrete member which is also related to strength estimation. Concrete coring also enables to evaluate other properties of…

What is Slump Cone Test? A Slump test or Concrete slump test is to determine the workability or consistency of the concrete mixture prepared in the laboratory or at the construction site during the progress of work. The concrete slump cone test is used for the measurement of a property…

What is Cellular Lightweight Concrete? Types, Advantages and Applications of Cellular Lightweight Concrete

What is Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLWC)? Cellular lightweight concrete (CLWC) is a mixture of cement, water, and pre-formed foam. This material is mixed to a pumped into any void and specified density. The fundamentals are simple, but the application and the ability to mix properly and at high production rates…

What is Bacterial Self Healing Concrete? Its History, Application, Advantages, and Disadvantages

Bacterial self-healing concrete is an innovative technology allowing repairing open micro-cracks in concrete by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation. This biotechnology improves the durability of the structure. Abstract Nowadays alternative approaches in construction technology are evolving rapidly in a bid to crucial the environmental hazards and low sustainability imparted by the…

CONCRETE – LET’S SEE AS A FAMILY OF MATERIALS

INTRODUCTION Concrete consists of different material which has different functions but combines together to achieve workability and cohesiveness (in plastic stage) and give the desired shape, surface finish, strength, and durability (in hardened stage). Cement and cementitious materials (mineral admixtures) are fine powders which react with water to form the…
