Some of them of the great things that they have built include; concrete‚ roads and arches. With these inventions and several more‚ the Romans have changed the art of buildings for ever. Without it the world would not be the same‚ and it would affect our world forever. One of the first inventions that the Romans made‚ was concrete. Concrete was used to be made as a glue like substance for building structures. The Roman concrete was made of lime‚ seawater and volcanic ash. According to the Article

Concrete mixer which is also commonly named as cement mixer is a device that homogeneously combines cement‚ aggregate such as sand or gravel‚ and water to form concrete. History Why did man invent concrete mixer? The reason of it is that in the early 20th century‚ the concrete was developed when some new materials added to cement. After the concrete was developed‚ the art of mixing it had to reform. Therefore‚ concrete mixers were becoming pretty popular by early 20th Century. This coincided

Concrete is a composite product obtained artificially by hardening of mixture of cement‚ sand‚ gravel and water in pre-determined proportions. When these ingredients are mixed‚ they form a plastic mass which can be moulded in desired shape. It gets hardened into hard solid mass. Water is one of the important ingredients of concrete. This is required not only for chemical reaction‚ but also for curing purposes. The chemical reaction of cement and water‚ in the mix‚ is relatively slow and requires

To start‚ let’s establish what both an arch and concrete are. An arch is a curved structure that spans a space and may or may not support weight above it (Wikipedia). Concrete in the Roman period had a basis of what is called pozzolana‚ a chocolate-colored volcanic earth (Wilson‚ A‚ n.d). The Romans used both extensively and showcased these in their private dwellings‚ public buildings‚ statutes and the construction of town walls throughout the Roman empire. The arch itself was introduced to the

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ADVANTAGES : Use of high strength concrete and freedom from cracks‚ in prestressed members‚ contribute to improved durability under aggressive environmental conditions. The use of high strength concrete and high tensile steel in prestressed concrete members results in lighter and slender members than could be possible by using reinforced concrete and Mild steel as reinforcement. In prestressed concrete‚ steel is no longer required for reinforcement

Non-destructive Testing Of Concrete By Rebound Hammer By Kaushal Kishore Materials Engineer‚ Roorkee INTRODUCTION The standard method of determining strength of hardened concrete consists of testing concrete cubes in compression. The quality of entire concrete of a structure cannot be fully assessed by testing a few concrete cubes. The results obtained in testing cubes do not always reflect the actual strength of concrete in construction. In a whole day‚ concreting work cubes are cast in
