Design Requirements of Concrete Based on ACI 318-19
There are several requirements established in ACI 318-19 (Building Code Requirements for Concrete and Commentary) that concrete materials need to meet; otherwise, it would not be suitable for the c
DESIGNED CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS
Designed concrete are those for which the producer is responsible for selecting the mix proportions to meet the required performance as communicated by the specifier. Therefore it is essential that
Types of Design and Detailing Errors in Construction and their Prevention
Common design and detailing errors in construction arises due to either inadequate structural design or due to lack of attention to relatively minor design details. Types of Design and Detailing Er
Design of Concrete Structures for Durability
Adequate concrete durability can be obtained in the design phase when a structure is conceived, and structural calculations are made, details are designed, materials and their proportions, as well
Direct Design of Concrete Pipes for Sewer Sanitary

Curing of High Performance Concrete -Methods and Duration of Curing
Curing of High Strength Concrete High Performance Concrete has very low water-cement ratio and better particle distribution due to the use of mineral admixtures, which result in significantly less
Curing of Concrete by Carbon-dioxide
The curing of Concrete elements by diffusing carbon-di-oxide into it under controlled pressure and temperature is one of the popular methods of accelerated curing. The process lets the CO2 to diffu
