when concrete is vibrated while pouring in to the form work, the cement slurry part tends to get drained through voids between aggregates and the richest part of cement slurry is detained at bottom portion of column. this causes a strong, dense, and void free concrete which ensures better compressive strength than the concrete on top portion of column.

Why tensile strength is higher than shear strength?

because of how the molecules are arranged, most materials are a lot stronger in tension than in shear. This is not true for all materials, like chalk or concrete, which are much stronger in shear than in tension.


What does 25 mpa concrete mean?

They're talking about compressive strength - the amount of force that can be applied to a defined area of the concrete before it fails. 25 MPa concrete in the states would be 3625 psi concrete - very ordinary stuff; the kind in bags at Home Depot is stronger than that.


What is the purpose of strength reduction factors and why they are smaller for columns than beams?

the purpose of strength reduction factor is used to take into account the uncertainties of material strength, inaccuracies in the design equations, approximations in analysis, possible variations in dimension's of the concrete section and placement of reinforced, the importance of member of structure of which they are part, an so on. Column is designed stronger than beam it means during strong earthquake column member remain elastic so it can provide stability and strength of the stories above.

What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?

Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.

Is wet concrete stronger than dry concrete?

no


What is stronger concrete or Mortar?

Concrete is stronger than mortar.Because mortar is a mixture of cement, sand and water but concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water. Thus concrete forms a stiff mix than mortar.Hence the concrete is more stronger than cement.

Is it true that concrete can absorb more force without breaking than can bone?

That depends upon how much concrete you have, but generally speaking, concrete structures are stronger than the human body.


How strong are human thigh bones?

Human thigh bones, or femurs, are the strongest bones in the human body. They are designed to support the body's weight and withstand significant forces during activities like walking, running, and jumping. They are made up of dense cortical bone which provides strength and durability.


Why is concrete stronger then mortar?

Concrete is stronger than mortar because mortar is a mixture of cement, sand and water but concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water. Thus concrete forms a stiff mix than mortar.
