Aggregates is a major part of concrete‚ it is of urgent need that we look into the influence of aggregate on the fresh as well as hardened properties of concrete. Better grading of aggregate not only will show better results in the properties of the concrete but will also help in saving expensive materials such as cement‚ fly ash and admixture. In the comparative study of influence of the aggregate on high strength concrete‚ here is an attempt to study strength characteristics of cubes and cylinders

The Rose That Grew From Concrete Tupac Shakur was a black African American rapper who lived his life with poverty‚ violence and drugs. Tupac Shakur was born in New York City. His parents had separated before he was born‚ and his mother moved him and his sister around the country for much of their childhood. Frequently‚ the family was at the poverty level‚ but Shakur managed to gain acceptance to the prestigious Baltimore School of the Arts as a teenager. While he was at the school‚ his

ABSTRACT Concrete has been the most preferred construction material for over five decades. It is being increasing day to day all over the world due to its versatility‚ mould ability‚ high compressive strength and many more advantages. For several years beginning in 1983‚ the problem of the durability of the concrete structures was a major topic of interest in Japan. The creation of durable concrete structures requires adequate compaction by skilled workers. One solution for the achievement of durable

placed between the two BS 5400 results‚ or close to the lower values. The Eurocode 2 results were usually reasonably close to the mean of the other results. The CEB-FIP-1990 results were consistently the lowest for high steel stresses and high concrete cover values. Results with varying spacing were close to Eurocode 2 results. The ACI 318 results were consistently the highest‚ being close to and

1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is a widely used building material‚ many concrete pavements such as bridge deck‚ highway pavements and airfield runways are constructed all over the world‚ due to its superior properties such as high strength‚ good stability‚ abrasion resistance and anti-slippage. However‚ concrete is a poor electrical conductor‚ especially under dry conditions. Concrete that is excellent in both mechanical and electrical conductivity properties may have important applications in the electrical

introduction of concrete as a construction medium and the true arch as a structural component made it possible for the Romans to build strong‚ elaborate‚ expansive structures that would endure the test of time. Concrete Roman concrete‚ called opus caementicium‚ was made by mixing traditional lime mortar with stone aggregate called caementa. This material used less water and was very thick compared to modern concrete; therefore it was laid rather than poured (Roman Architecture‚ n.d.). Concrete was an important

Introduction Concrete mixtures can be designed to provide a wide range of mechanical and durability properties to meet the design requirements of a structure. The compressive strength of concrete is the most common performances measure used by engineer in designing buildings and other structures. The compressive strength is measured by breaking concrete specimen in a compression-testing machine. The compressive strength is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting
