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

picture within the topic which asks the question‚ “How do you evaluate the impact”? The views of Bornstein and Davis for one‚ states that in order to evaluate the impact‚ we look at the emotion and reasoning of the people we intend to help. As Albret Einstein have said‚ “It counts but it cannot be counted”. You see these characteristics cannot be easily seen by the naked eye‚ instead‚ it could be felt when the people you intend to make an impact on would go to greater heights in order to further

Advantages of mix design Mix design aims to achieve good quality concrete at site economically. I. Quality concrete means • Better strength • Better imperviousness and durability • Dense and homogeneous concrete II. Economy a) Economy in cement consumption It is possible to save up to 15% of cement for M20 grade of concrete with the help of concrete mix design. In fact higher the grade of concrete more are the savings. Lower cement content also results in lower heat of hydration and hence

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

Aggregates for Concrete Aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand‚ gravel‚ or crushed stone that‚ along with water and cement‚ are an essential ingredient in concrete. Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world. For a good concrete mix‚ aggregates need to be clean‚ hard‚ strong particles free of absorbed chemicals or coatings of clay and other fine materials that could cause the deterioration of concrete. Aggregates‚ which account for 60 to 75 percent of the total volume
