Relative stiffness of concrete refers to the ratio of its stiffness to that of another material, typically the reinforcing steel within a composite structure. It is an important parameter in structural engineering, as it influences the behavior of reinforced concrete under loads, particularly in terms of deflection and cracking. High relative stiffness indicates that the concrete can effectively resist deformation compared to the reinforcement, leading to better load distribution and structural integrity. This concept is essential for optimizing the design of concrete structures to ensure safety and performance.

Porosity of concrete can be calculated by determining the volume of voids within the concrete relative to its total volume. This is typically done by measuring the weight of a dry concrete sample, then submerging it in water to find its buoyant weight. The difference in weight provides the volume of the voids, which is then divided by the total volume of the concrete sample and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. The formula is: Porosity (%) = (Volume of voids / Total volume) × 100.
The modular ratio is the ratio of the modulus of elasticity of steel to the modulus of elasticity of concrete. For M20 concrete, which typically has a characteristic compressive strength of 20 MPa, the modulus of elasticity is generally assumed to be around 25 GPa. If we consider the modulus of elasticity of steel to be approximately 200 GPa, the modular ratio (n) can be calculated as n = E_steel / E_concrete, resulting in a modular ratio of about 8. This means that the stiffness of steel is roughly eight times that of M20 concrete.
it the ratio of load applied on the displacement of spring.. stiffness=load/change in length.

When talking about someone who is a relation, relative is a concrete noun. Relative can be a common noun and an adjective.
Yes, the noun 'relative' is a concrete noun, a word for a person connected with another by blood or marriage; a word for a physical person.The word 'relative' is also an adjective.
Concrete has a relative density of 2.4 (although see the note below). Calculation of a relative density requires comparison to a reference material. Most commonly this is water. Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 while concrete has a density of 2400 kg/m3. As such concrete is 2.4 times denser than water and so it's reference density is 2.4.
it is the modulus of elasticity, rather low for concrete compared to steel. it can be estimated using equation E=3320(Fc)1/2 + 6900 Fc being the compressive strength

Knots are muscles that are spasmed or contracted relative to the muscle around them. They tend to be localized and can cause pain and stiffness.
Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
Its the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required, strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible, is termed the concrete mix design.
The natural frequency of a concrete slab can be calculated using the formula f = 1/(2π) * sqrt(k/m), where f is the natural frequency, k is the stiffness of the slab, and m is the mass of the slab. Stiffness can be determined by the material properties and geometry of the slab, while mass can be calculated by multiplying the volume of the slab by its density.
The word 'relative' is both a noun (relative, relatives) and an adjective (relative, more relative, most relative).The noun 'relative' is a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for someone related by blood or marriage; in grammar, a relative pronoun, determiner, or adverb; a word for a person or a thing.The noun form of the adjective 'relative' is relativeness.
