Once the moisture is out of the concrete and it is cured it should not shrink - it is however in a state of stress so make sure control joints are added to any large concrete areas that are poured and placed.

Is concrete harmful?
Wet concrete is caustic- it will burn your skin. Concrete DUST is not good to inhale- it may contain silica. Solid, cured concrete is about as hazardous as a rock.
Does vacuum dewatered concrete requires curing?
Yes, the vacuum dewatered concrete requires curing in order to gain its strength.The concrete is cured for 28 days.
How is pre-stressed concrete made?
Pre-stressed concrete is made by using,high strength steel bars(tendons).normal concrete(>M25)sheaths for cable duct.anchors.jacks.
What is normal concrete?
Normal Concrete refers to the fresh concrete which haven't yet cured providing that there was no add mixtures/any accelerators being infused upon mixing fine aggregates, gravel and cement plus water.
How many days concrete has to be cured prior to steel erection What counts days or strength achieved by concrete?
the strength that it has gained is the main thing, but usually 5 to 7 days as a rough guide.

What is the difference between shoring and re-shoring?
When referring to concrete work (using a structural suspeneded slab as an example) Shoring - support structure for formwork before concrete is poured and while it is curing. The formwork is the plywood and the shoring is the posts. Reshoirng - support structure for the cured or partially cured concrete - installed after the formwork and shoring have been removed. Usually used as additional support for the partial cured concrete (which has reduced strength) to allow construction work to continue on the slab until it has fully cured.

What is green concrete?

How do you make concrete pavers?
Create a form from wood. Place it over plastic sheeting. Pour in concrete. Gently tap out of forms when cured.
How do concrete gaps keep the concrete from cracking during the winter?
During winter when the concrete contracts/shrinks and there is no gap, then it will crack from the surface. So gaps are left in concrete such that it can shrink to a safe limit without cracking it.

How much does a 4 foot by 4 foot by10 inch concrete panel weigh?
1 cu. yd of cured concrete is about 3600lbs. 1 cu. ft of cured concrete is about 134 lbs. (rounded up) 4 ft x 4 ft x 5/6 ft = 13 1/3 cu. ft 13 1/3 cu. ft = 1787lbs (rounded up)
How dense is concrete?
Normal concrete has a density around 2400 kg/cubic meter or 4048 lb/cubic yard. There are many different kinds of concrete, many of which are much lighter. Cement is the liquid (or paste like) form, and tends to be much heavier than when it has cured into concrete. "Cement" is not concrete, but can be used to make concrete by mixing with sand, stone and water. The density of cement is about 3120kg/m3.
How much premix concrete need to build 1 cubic meters of concrete?
An 80 pound bag of premix concrete will make .6 cubic feet of cured concrete. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic meter, so it would take 45 80 pound bags to make one cubic meter.
