Types Of Reinforced Concrete
Fibers are utilized in cement to manage the cracking characteristics and reduce permeability. The surrounding concrete protects the steel used for reinforcement. Glass fiber reinforced concrete is used for architectural products and steel fibers are mostly used for paving and inside tunnels.
Concrete: Basic and Advanced Engineering Information
Concrete is a basic building block of our everyday world. It's used in almost every type of structure that we build today. This engineering guide to concrete will give you a variety of information about concrete, including some best practices for various situations.
A Guide to Concrete Building Construction
Slipform construction is an economical way of working with the concrete. It works well for any kind of construction, be it working with plain concrete, reinforced concrete, or pre-stressed concrete. Accuracy and continual casting for constructing a monolithic structure are its greatest advantages.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
GFRC is an engineered concrete that has numerous applications in concrete products including ornamental structures, fountains, domes, and planters. GFRC is also used extensively for decorative panels.
Characteristics of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
Glass fiber reinforced concrete is an engineered material that contains cement, polymers, and glass fibers that are ingrained in the cementious matrix. The GFRC properties are influenced by the glass contents, mix design, and production process. GFRC is mainly used for external applications.
How is Portland Cement Made?
Portland cement can be made by following two different processes – a dry one and a wet one. The manufacturing process has moved on significantly since bricklayer Joseph Aspdin first made portland cement in his kitchen stove in England in the 19th century.
Preventing Earthquake Failure of Structural Precast Concrete Components
Precast concrete is easy to work with, but its performance against earthquakes does not live up to the expectations. Frequent failure of precast concrete beam to column connections and other precast concrete beam components have put a question to its earthquake resistant strength.
Use of Concrete to Fight the Effects of Global Warming
Global warming is a reality. Despite the agreements made under the Kyoto Protocol, which are designed to mitigate the causes associated with climate change, experts predict that extreme weather events will continue to be a part of our future. Below, we will explore the use of concrete to help.
Concrete Curing in Challenging Conditions
Without curing, concrete is just like brittle mixture of various construction ingredients that can break down under excessive loads or even under normal loading conditions. Concrete under water curing, curing concrete below freezing and extremely hot temperatures needs special attention.
