There are additives that will make the mix go off quicker. However, for the best results a slow drying time will cure the mix and add more stability. Self mix will cure more slowly than tankerd. (inductrial mixing and delivery by wagon),. Adding in metal framework can add strength and is used in flooring, and solid walling.
What else can I help you with?
How do you speed up the strength development of concrete. can you please explain it?
how to speed up the strength development of concrete in civil engeneering
What is strength of the concrete used in Burj Khalifa?
The Burj Khalifa utilizes high-strength concrete with a compressive strength of around 80 MPa (megapascals) to support its immense height and load. In some areas, the concrete strength reaches up to 100 MPa. This high-performance concrete not only provides structural integrity but also allows for the building's innovative design and resilience against environmental factors.
How long does it take concrete to set?
Concrete typically takes about 24 to 48 hours to set enough for light foot traffic, but it can take up to 28 days to achieve its full strength. The initial setting time can vary based on factors like temperature, humidity, and the specific mix used. During this curing period, it’s important to keep the concrete moist to ensure optimal strength development.
Does concrete still gain strength after 28 days?
yes,up to one year. However the rate again of strength is very slow.
What is the effect of age of concrete upon the water-cement ratio and strength curve?
The age of concrete significantly affects its water-cement ratio and strength. As concrete matures, its strength generally increases due to the ongoing hydration of cement particles, which leads to a denser microstructure. Initially, higher water-cement ratios may lower strength but are essential for workability; as concrete cures, the effective water-cement ratio decreases, contributing to strength gain over time. Ultimately, strength curves show that concrete continues to gain strength well beyond the initial setting period, often achieving substantial increases up to several months or years, depending on conditions.
What happens to concrete when it is heated up?
When concrete is heated up, the moisture trapped inside can turn into steam and cause the concrete to expand rapidly, leading to cracking and spalling. The heat can also cause the concrete to lose its strength and structural integrity. Ultimately, if the temperature is high enough, the concrete can undergo thermal spalling and disintegrate.
Is it ok to say that your work ethic is your greatest strength?
Yes, but be prepared to back up that statement with concrete examples.
Does mastipation speed up the development of secondary sexual characters?
yes, because it speed up secondary sexual organ
What is Sasuke better at strength or speed?
It's up for debate, but a lot of people would probably say speed.
Can you melt concrete?
Concrete cannot be melted because it is made up of cement, water, and aggregates like sand and gravel. When exposed to high temperatures, the water in the concrete evaporates, causing the concrete to lose its structural integrity and strength, but it does not melt like metals.
What is Most important component to determine the strength of a concrete mix?
The concrete mix should be a 5:1 Cement to water ratio. make sure you mix thoroughly when adding water. Look up "Concrete slump test"
What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
