Complete information about Concrete

What is concrete? Concrete is composed of three basic components: cement, water and aggregates ( sand, gravel , rock ) in varying proportions. Cement acts as a binder to join primary aggregate into a solid mass. Road Construction Equipments Water is req ired to chemically react with the cement (hydration) whereby the mi!t re solidifies. "ote that cement is a component and contrary to pop lar belief, is not the same material. #o define more simply: when the cement is mi!ed with the other ingredients, cement and water form a paste that gl es the aggregates into a mass of solid rock partic lar call. $y varying the proportions of water and cement is known as the water % cement ratio. #he lower the ratio w % c, the stronger the concrete (and less poro s). Change the proportions allowed to have varying strength, density and thermal resistance so that it works for the intended work. Types of concrete &eady 'i! is man fact red in a factory or batching plant, according to a (eptember recipe, and then delivered to the work. #his res lts in a precise mi!t re and also allows the mi!t re to be developed specialty. $ t it also means less fle!ibility and a shorter lifespan. )n alternative to ready*mi!ed concrete is the se of mobile concrete mi!ing tr cks transporting the ingredients to prod ce in separate compartments. +nce in the workplace, the ingredients are meas red thro gh calibration controls in the mi!er that ltimately prod ces concrete. #his res lts not only in the right mi!t re b t also the correct amo nt the elimination of waste. &einforced concrete is embedded with metal, s ally steel. ,t can carry h ge loads and has great versatility in large constr ction projects, incl ding bridges and arches. Concrete signs of damage C rling or distortion at the edges and corners are concrete signs of damage. #emperat re ca ses c rling, moist re ca ses deformation. $listers can occ r when the mortar is separated from the concrete s rface. ,n addition, the low points in partic lar will ca se water to stagnate if there is no drainage. ( rface cracks are an obvio s sign of damage to concrete. (ome may appear as secondary symptoms of other defects and may be diffic lt to diagnose correctly. -ine cracks or random cracks can be seen when the concrete is drying after being moistened. ) click that occ rs in a pattern of three points is s ally ca sed by drying shrinkage. $ig pattern cracking, called map cracking can be ca sed by an alkali * silica reaction in concrete.

#he concrete s rface may disintegrate as well, evidenced by the broken pieces, a formation of d st on the s rface and mortar flaking and scaling. +ther defects incl de discoloration and small or large holes in the vertical placement of concrete. Concrete repair and replacement jobs are for skilled contractors. )ltho gh it may take tho sands of years, the concrete sho ld be caref l to get the best res lts.
