Concrete Workability Using VEE BEE Test and Consistometer

The main Reason for Vee Bee Test is to Calculate workability and consistency of the Fresh concrete. Vee Bee test provides compatibility and and mobility of the concrete. The test measures the relative effort required to change a mass of concrete from one definite shape to another (i.e., from conical to cylindrical) by means of […]

Heat of Hydration of Cement

What is Heat of Hydration of Cement: – When Portland cement is mixed with water, heat is liberated. This heat is called the heat of hydration, the result of the exothermic chemical reaction between cement and water. Significance: – The heat generated by the cement’s hydration raises the temperature of concrete. These temperature rises cause
