Concrete Technology

The document discusses concrete technology and provides information on various topics related to concrete. It defines compaction as removing air voids from freshly placed concrete to achieve maximum density and strength. It lists the unit weights of different types of concrete and notes that expansion joints are provided if the length of a concrete structure exceeds 25 meters. Curing is described as important to allow concrete to achieve its full strength over 28 days. Physical properties of concrete mentioned include strength, durability, impermeability, workability and elasticity.

CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY

1.Why we need compaction in concrete?


Answer:
 To remove & eliminate air voids/entrapped air/air holes/air pocket from freshly placed
concrete. Otherwise, strength will decrease.
 To achieve maximum density or less porous & more dense concrete which is more
durable.
 To provide intimate contact between the concrete and embedded materials.
