What is concrete creep? Creep refers to the continuous deformation of a structural member under a constant load. This phenomenon has a significant impact on various materials, particularly concrete. The precise behavior of concrete creep depends on factors such as the characteristics of aggregates, mix design, environmental moisture, cross-sectional area of the members, and the [...]
Concrete Slump Test The concrete slump test is conducted to determine the workability or consistency of the concrete mixture provided in the laboratory or in the field. In other words, a concrete slump test is conducted to investigate the uniform quality during the construction of the structure. The slump should be called the simplest concrete [...]
Concrete curing When discussing the concept of concrete curing, we are talking about the process of regulating the concrete's moisture content. The most crucial curing period is 28 days following concrete placement. Why are this procedure and its timing so crucial? We are aware that cement and water undergo a chemical process that binds the [...]
