It is the concrete which knows its condition itself.
Advantages of curing:Gains strengthYields microcracksReleases high heat of hydration.
Also known as Cyclopean Concrete, this is a variety of concrete consisting of large sized stones(Plums) with interstices filled with concrete. Used mostly in mass concrete works like concrete gravity dams
Concrete is durable, fire resistant, has long life, is energy efficient and important as an earthquake safety product
Using concrete flooring offers many advantages as well as disadvantages. Some of the advantages to using concrete flooring is the overall durability, the ease of maintenance, and the low negative environmental impact that concrete flooring has.
wood: wood can crack unlike concrete and wood is affected by water which can cause it to rot whereas concrete is not Metals: Metals can rust whereas concrete does not and metals can easily scratch Bricks: Bricks are more expensive than concrete and bricks take generally more 'man power' to place down whereas concrete does not. Hope this has been a good help
concrete is used as,compression member.slabs.beams.shear walls.
Concrete does not crack if done properly unlike wood.
Comprssive strength of concrete is more than that of brick.Waterabsorption is more in brick.Durability of concrete is more.
Advantages of curing:Gains strengthYields microcracksReleases high heat of hydration.
The main disadvantage of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is the noise. The advantages of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is to remove trapped air and excess water which then allows the concrete settle firmly.
*Break
Concrete gives good strength to the structure, it is fire resistant and has life around 80 years.
Advantages of concrete:compression member.slabs.beams.shear walls.Disadvantages:Non-renewable source.Mix design should be known.Skilled labour is required to mix, handle, and place the concrete.
