  2. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1] Reinforced concrete is the most common form of concrete.

  3. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    The parts are in terms of weight – not volume. For example, 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete would be made using 22 lb (10.0 kg) cement, 10 lb (4.5 kg) water, 41 lb (19 kg) dry sand, 70 lb (32 kg) dry stone (1/2" to 3/4" stone). This would make 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete and would weigh about 143 lb (65 kg). The sand should be ...

    The placement consisted of 10,251 cubic yards of concrete placed in 58.5 hours using two concrete pumps and two dedicated concrete batch plants. Upon curing, this placement allows the 50,180-square-foot (4,662 m 2 ) cofferdam to be dewatered approximately 26 feet (7.9 m) below sea level to allow the construction of the Inner Harbor Navigation ...

    Centralized batch systems are limited by the size of the fleet. It may take upwards of 10 minutes to batch and load out one 9–12 cubic yards (6.9–9.2 cubic metres) truck depending on the plant size and type.

  6. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  7. Water–cement ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–cement_ratio

    A w/c ratio higher than 0.60 is not acceptable as fresh concrete becomes "soup" [2] and leads to a higher porosity and to very poor quality hardened concrete as publicly stated by Prof. Gustave Magnel (1889-1955, Ghent University, Belgium) during an official address to American building contractors at the occasion of one of his visits in the ...

  8. Foam concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

    Foamed concrete can be produced with dry densities of 400 to 1600 kg/m 3 (25 lb/ft 3 to 100 lb/ft 3), with 7-day strengths of approximately 1 to 10 N/mm 2 (145 to 1450 psi) respectively. Foam concrete is fire resistant, and its thermal and acoustical insulation properties make it ideal for a wide range of purposes, from insulating floors and ...

  9. Gypsum concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsum_concrete

    Gypsum concrete is lightweight and fire-resistant. A 1.5-inch slab of gypsum concrete weighs 13 pounds per square foot versus 18 pounds per square foot for regular concrete. [10] Even though gypsum concrete weighs less, it still has the same compressive strength as regular concrete, based on its application as underlayment or top coat flooring ...
