Concrete moisture and vapor tests are conducted to examine the presence and quantity of moisture in concrete floors and slabs. This is because moisture in concrete cause several problems for instan
Concrete in-situ test results interpretation is important for structural strength assessment. Concrete test results interpretation consists of three stages from which proper conclusion are develope
Gutter is a concrete component that constructed beside pavements. The function of concrete gutter is to discharge water and prevent it to infiltrate beneath the pavement. Moreover, not only does it
Vibration is one of the methods used to consolidate poured concrete to achieve required density and, subsequently, the designated concrete strength. Vibrators (internal and external or shutter vibr
Concrete is not normally designed to resist direct tension. However, tensile stresses develops in concrete members as a result of flexure, shrinkage and temperature changes. Principal tensile stres
