2019-6-26 The term ‘Hardening’ is defined as the strength gain of a set cement or mortar or concrete., Even during the hardening the cement/mortar/concrete continue to acquire some strength, however, hardening happens after the setting state. In other words, hardening of cement as well as mortar or concrete is the stage when the mixture gains strength or the development of the strength, only after ...
More2021-6-11 The most common method for monitoring the strength of in-situ concrete is the use of field-cured cylinders. This practice has remained generally unchanged since the early 19 th century. These samples are casted and cured according to ASTM C31 and tested for compressive strength by a third-party lab at various stages.

MoreDurability is the ability to last a long time without significant deterioration. A durable material helps the environment by conserving resources and reducing wastes and the environmental impacts of repair and replacement. The production of replacement building materials depletes natural resources and can produce air and water pollution.
MoreInadequate Concrete Curing. Inadequate concrete curing reduces the hydration of cement and subsequently decreases the strength of concrete. As a result, concrete cracks develop due to self-weight before it has developed enough strength to support itself.
More2021-9-13 The present paper deals with the hardness of cement mortars prepared with recycled materials that are potential supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Two potential SCMs (aerated concrete powder (ACP) and concrete powder) were investigated and compared with a reference (neat cement) sample and a sample containing metakaolin (MK). The long-term performance of the mortars
MoreOn re-drying, the M sub R of water soaked ETM is fully recovered. Cement (1.3 percent) modified ETM (C-ETM), rapidly develop high M sub R which also varies with the hardness of the asphalt; these C-ETM are resistant to water damage. Higher levels of cement cause greater changes in M sub R. The beneficial effect of cement on ETM occurs with a ...

More2016-8-31 Concrete Damping Under steady state conditions, internal damping in prestressed concrete members may be less than 1% of critical if the initial prestress is sufficient to prevent tension cracks from developing. If tension cracks are allowed to develop, but on a miscroscopic scale, damping can be expected of the order of 2% of critical.
