Tensile Strength of concrete:- It is the ability of concrete to resist tensile strength applied on it. Concrete is good performer in terms of compression, but significantly weak in tension force. This is the reason reinforcement is provide to balance weakness of concrete in tensile strength. Split cylinder test can be used to find out […]

Soundness of Cement Soundness of cement can be defined as its ability to retain its volume after hardening. If cement change its volume at the time of setting or hardening then its not sound. This means sound cement doesn’t go or undergoes minimum volume change after hardening. Lime content in cement plays significance role in

When Water is mixed in cement it starts a chemical reaction. Then hydration process starts and makes a cement paste. This paste can be moulded in any shape until it hardens. Cement continues to react with water and slowly starts losing its plasticity and ultimately hardens. Time taken to harden the cement after mixing water
