Efflorescence in concrete is a whitish coloured powdered deposition of salts on the concrete surface that is formed due to evaporation of water from the concrete. It is caused when water soluble sa
Presence of impurities in water for concrete mix leads to decrease in structural properties of concrete such as strength and durability to a large extent.
Early-age cracking is a temporary shortcoming that crops up as a result of a faulty design and construction process. Such cracks can be repaired properly if necessary actions are taken on time. The
The sudden outpouring of rain on freshly placed concrete can give rise to unexpected challenges. The severity of the damage is dependent on the extent of surface protection and the curing procedure
There are various effects of fly ash on properties of hardened concrete such as strength, durability, creep, volume changes of concrete which are discussed.
Coarse aggregates have properties such as size, shape, moisture contents, specific gravity, density etc. which affects concrete strength and durability in many ways. These effect of aggregate prope
Applications of Reinforced Concrete is mainly due to its versatility, adaptability and resistance to fire and corrosion resulting in negligible maintenance costs.
Steel fiber reinforced concrete provides superior resistance to cracking and crack propagation due to increased tensile strength in concrete structures. Applications of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concr
Resifan is a self-leveling and colored coating ideal for places where a continuous and smooth finish is desired. It provides solid and consistent color, and demands low maintenance. The appearance
APPLICATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN CONSTRUCTION Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. Nanotechnology is concerned with objects between 1 and 100nm in size.(
