Definitions

1. Concrete is a relatively heavy construction material and is frequently recycled into aggregate for road bases or construction fill.
2. Concrete is a mixture of cement (usually Portland cement) and stone aggregate.

Concretes

1. Concrete is typically sampled while being placed, with testing protocols requiring that test samples be cured under laboratory conditions (standard cured).
2. Fiber-reinforcement is mainly used in shotcrete, but can also be used in normal concrete.

Aggregate

1. Concrete aggregate collected from demolition sites is put through a crushing machine, often along with asphalt, bricks, dirt, and rocks.
2. In its simplest form, concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates.
3. Fine and coarse aggregates make up the bulk of a concrete mixture.

Strength

1. The concrete is of very high quality, and high strength.
2. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength, but significantly lower tensile strength (about 10% of the compressive strength).
3. In some applications of high-strength concrete the design criterion is the elastic modulus rather than the ultimate compressive strength.
4. The early strength of the concrete can be increased by keeping it damp for a longer period during the curing process.
5. Once the tensile strength of the concrete is exceeded, a crack will develop.

Reinforced

1. This is due to the enormous strength of reinforced concrete. (Web site)
2. One of the early designers of reinforced concrete, Robert Maillart, employed reinforced concrete in a number of arched bridges.
3. The practical implication of this is that concrete elements subjected to tensile stresses must be reinforced with materials that are strong in tension.
4. Since corrosion is the main cause of failure of reinforced concrete, a corrosion-proof reinforcement can extend a structure's life substantially.
5. Reinforced concrete contains rebar and other metallic reinforcements, which are removed with magnets and recycled elsewhere.

Decorative Concrete

1. Supplies tools for decorative concrete stamp designs.
2. The Carlton Concrete Company uses two methods to color decorative concrete. (Web site)

Cracking

1. The amount of primary and secondary reinforcing in concrete structures contributes to a reduction in the amount of shrinkage, creep and cracking.
2. Creep can sometimes reduce the amount of cracking that occurs in a concrete structure or element, but it also must be controlled.
3. When rebar corrodes, the oxidation products ( rust) expand and tends to flake, cracking the concrete and unbonding the rebar from the concrete.

Curing

1. Concrete generates tremendous heat during the curing stage.
2. effect on curing, if bitumen is applied on fresh concrete surface.
3. They use other attachments to smooth the surface of the concrete, spray on a curing compound, and cut expansion joints.

Cement

1. The Assyrians and Babylonians used clay as cement in their concrete.
2. The modulus of elasticity of concrete is a function of the modulus of elasticity of the aggregates and the cement matrix and their relative proportions.
3. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone.
4. However, silica fume is more usually added to Portland cement at the concrete mixer.

Precast Concrete

1. In the US precast concrete industry, SCC represents over 75% of concrete production.
2. Crafted precast concrete.
3. Manufactures and installs precast concrete.

Pervious Concrete

1. A pervious concrete mixture contains little or no sand (fines), creating a substantial void content.
2. Pervious concrete pavement is a unique and effective means to address important environmental issues and support sustainable growth.

1. Wall panels can sit on a variety of foundation materials, including poured concrete, blocks, or insulated concrete forms.
2. Partial Torus of America are externally insulated thin shelled concrete homes of a unique shape. (Web site)
3. ReddiForm is an expanded polystyrene stay-in-place concrete form used to build insulated concrete foundations and walls.

Forms

1. Concrete paving machine operators control levers and turn handwheels to move attachments that spread, vibrate, and level wet concrete within forms. (Web site)
2. Designed to be an integral part of the wall, the forms remain in position after the concrete is placed.

Formwork

1. After SureForm formwork is placed, concrete is poured inside.
2. External Vibrator Vibrating device attached to formwork to consolidate fresh concrete; used primarily in precast construction.

Pavement

1. Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavements (JRCP) contain steel mesh reinforcement (sometimes called distributed steel).
2. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP) contain enough joints to control the location all of the expected natural cracks.
3. Asphalt concrete, normally known simply as asphalt, is a composite material commonly used for construction of pavement, highways and parking lots.

Ready Mix Concrete

1. Cemex is the largest United States supplier of ready mix concrete and cement and the seventh largest United States supplier of aggregate. (Web site)

Icf

1. Energy-efficient insulating concrete forms (ICFs) by American PolySteel offer exceptional benefits for commercial and residential construction.
2. Amvic is the industry leader in Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) innovation and quality.

Bars

1. Corrosion inhibitors are used to minimize the corrosion of steel and steel bars in concrete.
2. The reinforcing bars are generally sufficiently well-bonded to the concrete to resist most tension forces.
3. Usually steel bars are roughened or corrugated to further improve the bond or cohesion between the concrete and steel.

Many Types

1. Many types of pre-mixed concrete are available which include powdered cement mixed with an aggregate, needing only water.
2. Reinforced concrete can encompass many types of structures and components, including slabs, walls, beams, columns, foundations, frames and more.

Slab

1. Here a concrete transport truck is feeding concrete to a concrete pumper, which is pumping it to where a slab is being poured.
2. The concrete cracks at the joints and not elsewhere in the slabs.
3. The steel shuttering pinches the top surface of a concrete slab due to weight of the next slab being constructed.
4. A concrete slab may be prefabricated or in situ. (Web site)

Placement

1. Concrete tests can measure the "plastic" (unhydrated) properties of concrete prior to, and during placement.
2. They inspect excavation and fill operations, the placement of forms for concrete, concrete mixing and pouring, asphalt paving, and grading operations. (Web site)

Concrete

1. Technicians performing concrete tests MUST be certified.
2. Concrete that is poured all at once in one block (so that there are no weak points where the concrete is "welded" together) is used for tornado shelters.
3. Concrete is most often constructed with the addition of steel or fiber reinforcement.
4. Proper concrete construction involves significant use steel reinforcing bar ( rebar).
5. Because it resists corrosion, it does not need a protective concrete cover of 30 to 50 mm or more as steel reinforcement does.
