object thereby strengthening it. The idea of pretensioned concrete has been around since the late 19th century‚ but its use was limited by the quality of materials available at the time. It wasn’t until the 1920s that materials of a suitable quality were available in sufficient quantity to allow pretensioned concrete to be used with confidence. The pioneers of this field were Freyssinet‚ Magnel and Hoyer. Description: In pre-tensioned concrete tensile elements such as cables‚ ribbons‚ or rods are clamped

variability of test results. It is important that the resul tant mixture (Cement + sand + water) has the same properties as concrete. So the standard sand was chosen and the following properties were determined to it: 1. Consist of pure siliceous material. 2. The particles are nearly spherical shaped. 3. The size of its particles is smaller than 0.85mm (Pass through 15 B.S. sieve) and bigger than 0.60mm (Retain at 25 B.S. sieve). A H M 531 Compressive and tensile strength of cement mortar

Shrinkage in concrete or mortar depends on a number of factors • Cement concrete: Richer the mix greater is the drying shrinkage. • Water content: More water in mix induces greater shrinkage • Aggregates : Large aggregates with good grading has less shrinkage for same workability as less water
