Yes they are, to some degree, I build concrete slabs and foundations for a living. I can tell you after we pour the slab and it has cured, after a day of walking on it my feet and ankles are pretty sore. I have gotten shin splints as a result of it one or two times also. I don't think its bad for your back, as I have never had any problems with mine, but I can say it definatly puts strain on your feet.

Is rusty mesh bad for concrete slabs?

Yes as the rusts will still develop if the concrete slab still moist. The strength is not as good as the good mesh.


What is the purpose of adding a curing compound to the concrete?

Curing is necessary for freshly cast concrete in order to maintain the moisture as the chemical constituents in cement react with water and heat evolves continuously until the setting process completes. The heat evolved during the setting of concrete is called heat of hydration, and this heat causes the water to evaporate. Proper and complete setting process is the most important phenomenon that imparts the desired strength to the concrete. If the freshly cast concrete is not cured, it develops cracks and also the chemical reactions will cease resulting in bad concrete.


Is salt bad for concrete?

Typically. I assume the salt is used for melting ice? Although exterior concrete is designed to resist damage from salt and freeze/thaw cycles, these will always shorted its life span. Better to just shovel the walk.

What is meant by Workability of Concrete?

In case of long haul involved in delivering ready-mixed concrete to the site of work, concrete is mixed intermittently to reduce the bad effect of continuous mixing. A pertinentpoint to note in this connection is that when the concrete is mixed or agitated from time to time with a short interval, the normal rule of initial setting time is not becoming applicable.The concrete that is kept in agitation, does not exactly follow the setting time rule as applicable to concrete kept in an unagitated and quiescent condition.workability is the ease and homogenity with which the concrete can be mixed , transported , poured , consolidated and finishedThe more the water cement ratio the more workable the concrete will be , but it does not mean that we should keep on increasing water cement ratio because it will decrease the strength and will cause bleeding and segregation of concrete 08ce69 quaid e awam university nawabshah
