Modified polymer concrete

Modified polymer concrete Polymer modified concrete can be divided into two categories: A. Injection Polymer Concrete B) polymer concrete - cement The first type is obtained by injection of a kind of monomer in a hardened prefabricated Portland cement concrete, which later becomes a solid polymer. For the production of the second type, a part [...]

Types of concrete (professional article)

Lightweight concrete with high strength Introduction Concrete lightweight is always considered to be low resistance. Coarse grains play an important role in changing the strength of reinforced concrete. Nearly two decades ago, a study was conducted to produce high strength concrete concrete, especially in oil projects, and they were able to There are serious limitations [...]

The 28-Day Myth

By Eric Barger Throughout the construction industry, the common belief is that concrete takes 28 days to cure and reach 100% of its strength. This evolved from a misunderstanding of what curing actually means. Some regulators characterize concrete as “green” if it has not cured for a certain time frame, not realizing this leads [...]

What is Concrete

Concrete : In the broadest sense, it is referred to any material or combination that is composed of a cementitious adhesive. Concrete is one of the most used building materials. The production of all kinds of concrete is done by using heat, steam, autoclave, air drainage, hydraulic pressure and vibrator. Concrete is generally a product [...]
