Benefits of Using Steel Fibers in Concrete The use of steel fiber in concrete can improve its many properties. The benefits of using steel fibres in concrete are as follows: 1. Steel Fibers are gen

The behavior of concrete in extreme fire is dependent on the composition and properties of the concrete structure. The type of aggregates used, the mix design, the moisture condition, and age are t

A concrete mix is a proportionate mixture of components such as cement, sand, aggregates, and water. The mix ratios are determined based on the type of construction and mix designs. However, buildi

Bacterial concrete or self healing concrete fills up the cracks developed in structures by the help of bacterial reaction in the concrete after hardening.

Understanding the common concreting problems that can occur during concreting practice will help to minimize further mistakes during concreting. Most of the concreting problems arise due to: Improp

Architectural concrete provides higher aesthetic finish and serves the structural function for a building. Mix proportions, features and uses of architectural cast-in-place concrete is discussed.</

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a type of composite materials consist of carbon fiber and polymer. The carbon fiber provides the strength and stiffness while the polymer acts as cohesive

The use of carbon dioxide directly i.e. without chemical modification, or after chemical conversion processes for the production of building construction materials is a key strategy to mitigate cli

Fire safety and property protection systems for buildings requires knowledge and understanding of hazards to decrease the potential fire occurrence and its risk to life and property during fire.</p

Special cements are used to serve some specific functions in concrete and masonry construction. These functions can be altering the setting or hardening behavior of concrete, produce different arch
