What does 1 cubic yard of crushed limestone weigh?
4050lbs. A cubic foot of concrete weighs 150lbs. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fresh concrete can weight about 3700 lbs for every cubic yard. The density will also determine how much is its weight. assuming its weight to be around 150 lbs for per cubic feet. This would make it around 4000 lbs which could come to 2 tons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Calculating the weight of reinforced concrete could be a bit more difficult since this type come with steel bars. On an average, we could assume 500 lbs for steel density per cubic feet which is almost 3 times more than cement. So with this calculation, we can assume the weight of reinforced concrete to be around 4000 lbs.
What is stronger than concrete?
steel
How heavy is concrete per cubic meter?
Concrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot. Can't do the math but that is about 4500 pounds.
What is the importance of Studying construction materials?
— It is important to study the various construction materials in built environment because shelter is the basic need of civilised society. Stones, bricks, timber and lime concrete are the traditional materials used for the construction of houses and other buildings. The invention of cement and concrete has prodivided durable buildings. Reinforced concrete which is composite construction of steel and concrete has helped in building large structurer. Steel, aluminium, glass, plastics, glazed tiles, plaster of paris, linoleum, paints and varnishes have improved the quality of buildings. Improved versions of many building materials keep on appearing in the market regularly. A civil engineer has to make use of all these materials judiciously. —Continuous research and development in construction technology is going on to see that huge investment in building is utilised at the earliest. Civil engineers have to look into the problems of rural areas and urban poor people also. There are 23 million Indians without home. Low cost housing is the need of the day to make poor people afford their own houses.
Pre stressed concrete compared to Post tensioned concrete?
Prestressed concete made using high tensile wires which is stressed (as per the design load) before concreting, and post tensioned concrete made of Strands covered with duct, in this, wires/strnads are stressed after concreting then the ducts are grouted using cement slurry..
What would stay up in a flood concrete or reinforced concrete?
More likely reinforced concrete.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of reinforced concrete beam and column?
reinforced concrete prise
Define steel reinforced concrete?
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
How do you make reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.

When does plain concrete become reinforced?
Reinforced concrete has steel bars embedded in it. It is also called re-barred concrete.
Who made reinforced concrete?
George Concrete

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.
The maximum thickness of a reinforced concrete wall?
The maximum thickness of a reinforced concrete wall is 203 mm.

Why do builders put metal rods in concrete?
Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.
