Concrete Mixing Techniques for Strong Structures
Concrete Mixing or Mixing of concrete is the complete blending of the ingredients necessary for the production of a homogeneous concrete.
Compressive strength test of concrete | Cube test for Concrete
As a construction material, concrete should be able to withstand heavy loads. The concrete material beneath compression tends to reduce its size. Concrete gains its strength over time. The compressive strength depends on cement strength, water-cement ratio, concrete quality etc. The test gives an idea of the overall strength and above-mentioned factors.
Compaction factor test – Workability of concrete-Test procedure
Compaction factor test is conducted to determine the workability of the concrete. Compaction factor test is a lab test and is generally conducted on concrete samples having very low workability.
