2 Components Cement Water Fine Aggregate Coarse Aggregate Fundamentals of

3 Range in Proportions

4 Advantages of Reducing Water Content: Increased strength Lower permeability Fundamentals of Increased resistance to weathering Better bond between concrete and reinforcement Reduced drying shrinkage and cracking Less volume change from wetting and drying

5 Workability that property of freshly mixed concrete that determines its working characteristics, i.e. the ease with which it can be mixed, placed, compacted and finished.

6 Cross Section of Hardened made with siliceous rounded gravel made with crushed limestone

7 Workability

8 Factors Affecting Workability Fundamentals of Method and duration of transportation Quantity and characteristics of cementing materials consistency (slump) Aggregate grading, shape & surface texture % entrained air Water content & ambient air temperature Admixtures

9 Effect of Casting Temperature on Slump

10 Bleeding and Settlement

11 Consolidation

12 Effect of Voids in on Modulus of Elasticity, Compressive Strength, and Flexural Strength

13 Hydration is the chemical reaction between the cement and water in which new compounds with strength producing properties are formed. Heat of Hydration is the heat given off during the chemical reaction as the cement hydrates.

14 Setting Times at Different Temperatures

15 Curing maintenance of a satisfactory moisture content and temperature in concrete for a suitable period of time immediately following placing & finishing so that the desired properties may develop. Time Temperature Fundamentals of Moisture

16 Effect of Curing on Strength Development

17 Effect of Casting and Curing Temperature on Strength Development

18 Strength Gain Versus Time for Exposed to Outdoor Conditions

20 Drying Shrinkage and Mass Loss of 150 x 300-mm (6 x 12-in.) Cylinders Moist Cured for 7 days

21 Compressive Strength is defined as the measured maximum resistance of a concrete or mortar specimen to an axial load, usually expressed in MPa (psi) at an age of 28-days. Most general use concrete 20 to 40 MPa (3000 to 6000 psi) Fundamentals of High-strength concrete by definition 70 MPa or greater (10000 psi or greater)

22 Compressive Strength Test Specimen Sizes Mortar 50 mm (2 in.) cubes 150 x 300 mm (6 x 12 in.) cylinders

23 Strength Development of s in Percent of 28-Day Strength

24 Ratios W/CM and W/C Water-cementing materials ratio (w/cm) ratio of mass of water to mass of cementing materials in a concrete mix expressed as a decimal. The water is exclusive to that absorbed by the aggregate. Water-cement ratio (w/c) ratio of mass of water to mass of cement in a concrete mix expressed as a decimal.

25 Typical Relationships of Strength to W/C-Ratio

31 Watertightness / Permeability Watertightness the ability of concrete to hold back or retain water without visible leakage. Fundamentals of Permeability amount of water migration through concrete when the water is under pressure or the ability of concrete to resist penetration by water or other substances (liquids, gas, ions, etc.)

32 Relationship between Hydraulic Permeability, W/C-Ratio, and Initial Curing Fundamentals of

33 Effect of W/C-Ratio and Curing Duration on Permeability of Mortar
