The size effect in concrete refers to the phenomenon where the strength and behavior of concrete structures vary with their size. Generally, larger concrete elements tend to exhibit lower strength and increased brittleness compared to smaller ones due to the statistical distribution of flaws and defects within the material. This effect is particularly significant in tension, where larger structures may fail at lower stress levels than smaller counterparts. Understanding the size effect is crucial for ensuring safety and reliability in the design of concrete structures.

What is the effect on welding with wrong size?
no effect
What is the influence of calcium stearate on the shrinkage of concrete?
Calcium stearate is used to control effloresence in concrete. I don't believe there is any effect on shrinkage. However, it is often added to other concrete admixtures, like water reducers. Those products can effect shrinkage, but usually they help to reduce it.
How many concrete cubes?
It depends on the size of the unspecified cube size, and what and how they are to be used? More information is needed.
What is the effect of hydration on strength of a concrete?
Excess water (over hydration) causes weak concrete. The water in concrete is there to start a chemical process which results in the hardening process. The excess water is not used in the chemical process and results in a weakened concrete.
How do you determine the number and size of steel bars in concrete?

What is the effect of the salt contamination of aggregate in concrete?
It would weaken the concrete, so keep out the salt.
What can effect the strength of concrete?
The water/concrete ratio, not mixing it well enough, quality of raw materials, the age of the concrete, and the temperature and humidity of the area surrounding the concrete.

How many concrete blocks required for 1 square meter?
It depends on the size of the concrete blocks
What is the recommended type and size of gravel to use for a concrete base?
The recommended type of gravel to use for a concrete base is typically crushed stone or gravel with a size of 3/4 inch to 1 inch. This size of gravel provides good drainage and stability for the concrete.
What is a segregation of concrete?
Segregation in concrete is a case of particle segregation in concrete applications, in which particulate solids tend to segregate by virtue of differences in the size, density, shape and other properties of particles of which they are composed. Bleeding (conc.) The term given to the process by which water rises to the surface giving a puddling effect on top of the laid concrete. This is caused by excessive water in the mix, particularly prominent in cold weather.
Does the size of the fruit effect the voltage?
The size of the fruit does not effect the voltage. If you're making a light, the size can effect how long it lasts. The greater the size, the longer it will last
What is the normal size of a concrete block?
8"X16"
What is the Weight of a concrete mixer truck?
The weight of a concrete mixer truck can vary depending on the size of the truck and if the truck is weighted with concrete it may be carrying. A concrete mixer truck is about 20,000 to 30,000 pounds without concrete.
What effect has the quantity of mixing water have upon the quality of concrete?
the strength of concrete is effected by water /cement ratio as the water/cement ratio increases the strength of the concrete decreases
