Although concrete is a very strong building material it does have its limits. Placing excessive amounts of weight on top of a concrete slab can cause cracking. When you hear a concrete mix has a strength of 2000 3000 4000 or 5000 PSI it is referring to the pounds per square inch it would take to crush that concrete
Chat Online· The History of Concrete A Timeline. Cement has been around for at least 12 million years. When the earth itself was undergoing intense geologic changes natural cement was being created. It was this natural cement that humans first put to use. Eventually they discovered how to make cement from other materials.
Chat Online· Unlike crushed stone gravel is usually sold and used in its natural state. If it is crushed gravel loses its unique smooth rounded texture and becomes crushed stone. It is important to note that some contractors refer to any stone in certain size ranges as "gravel " even if it is crushed stone.

Chat OnlineThe quality of the product of hydration and consequently the amount of gel formed depend on the extent of hydration. Theoretically the water-cement ratio of 0.38 is required to hydrate all the particles of the cement and to occupy the space in the gel pores.. In the field even though the higher water-cement ratio is used since the concrete is open to atmosphere the water used in the
Chat OnlineThe manufacture of concrete is fairly simple. First the cement (usually Portland cement) is prepared. Next the other ingredients—aggregates (such as sand or gravel) admixtures (chemical additives) any necessary fibers and water—are mixed together with the cement to form concrete. The concrete is then shipped to the work site and placed

Chat Online· Concrete strength also comes into play but most slab concrete is around 3000 to 4000 psi so it s not a major factor. The tensile strength of concrete is typically taken as 10 to 15 of the compressive strength so only about 400 or 500 psi. Compare that to the tensile strength of Grade 60 rebar which is 60 000 psi.
Chat Online· Concrete strength at a time t (3.1.2) Expressions are given for the estimation of strengths at times other than 28 days for various types of cement f cm(t) = β cc(t) f cm where f cm(t) is the mean compressive strength at an age of t days β cc(t) = exp s 1-(28/t)1/2 The coeeficient s depends on type of cement s = 0 20 for rapid hardening
Chat Online· The Spruce / Liz Moskowitz. Concrete . Concrete is a complete building material used for foundation walls concrete slabs patios and many other masonry structures. It is uniquely versatile because it starts out as a simple dry mixture then becomes a flexible semi-liquid material capable of forming into any mold or shape and which dries into the hard-as-rock material we know as concrete.
