Compressive Strength of Concrete, with Cube Test procedure

What is Compressive Strength Compressive strength of concrete is how much load it can take without cracking. In general Construction the compressive strength of concrete varies from 15Pa to 30Pa and higher for commercial and industrial use. Compressive strength of concrete depends on many factors such as water-cement ratio, cement strength, quality of concrete material,… Continue reading Compressive Strength of Concrete, with Cube Test procedure

What is a Rebar? Types of Steel Reinforcement

What is Rebar? Rebars are steel rods which are used as reinforcement in concrete. Since concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so in order to make concrete strong in tension we use Steel rods as reinforcement. Steel is compatible with concrete because steel and concrete have nearly same expansion and contraction due… Continue reading What is a Rebar? Types of Steel Reinforcement

Concrete Mix ratios and types M5, M10, M15,M20 and M25

Standard Concrete Mix Ratios Concrete at the very least contains 3 materials Cement, Sand and Crushed Stones. The ratio in which you add these determines how strong or weak concrete will be. If you are using concrete for not so demanding projects you may mix concrete in already known commonly used ratios. Below is a… Continue reading Concrete Mix ratios and types M5, M10, M15,M20 and M25
