Concrete The word concrete comes from the Latin word "concretus". Which means compact. Now a days concrete is most common and necessary things in our life. The history of cementing materials together goes back to the time when prehistoric man prepare his cave to build shelter. He used mud and clay to fill the gap between stone. To keep out the wind and cold. Later the Assyrians and Babylonians used clay as their bonding substance and straw to make a shape. The Egyptians used lime and gypsum and crushed stone to create a material that would harden even better.

Concrete The word concrete comes from the Latin word "concretus". Which means compact. Now a days concrete is most common and necessary things in our life. It’s a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement which hardens over time. It’s an artificial stone made of sand, stone, water & cement.
History The history of cementing materials together goes back to the time when prehistoric man prepare his cave to build shelter. He used mud and clay to fill the gap between stone. To keep out the wind and cold. Later the Assyrians and Babylonians used clay as their bonding substance and straw to make a shape. The Egyptians used lime and gypsum and crushed stone to create a material that would harden even better.
Then the Roman made cement and they learn how to use volcanic ash. After that they built lots of structure like Pantheon, Colosseum, Trajan's Column. After the Roman Empire collapsed, use of concrete became rare until the technology was redeveloped in the mid18th century.
Classification of Modern concrete: Today, concrete is the most widely used manmade material and Concrete are classified into different types: 1. According to binding material used in concrete. 1. Cement concrete. 2. lime concrete. 2. According to design of concrete. 1. Plain cement concrete. 2. Reinforced cement concrete(RCC). 3. Pre-stressed cement concrete(PCC). 3. According to purpose of concrete. 1. Vacuum concrete: 2. Air entrained concrete 3. Light weight concrete
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO BINDING MATERIAL: Cement concrete The concrete consisting of cement, sand and coarse aggregates mixed in a suitable proportions in addition to water is called cement concrete. In this type of concrete cement is used as a binding material, sand as fine aggregates and gravel, crushed stones as coarse aggregates. USES cement concrete is commonly used in buildings and other important engineering works where strength and durability is of prime importance.
LIME CONCRETE The concrete consisting of lime, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates mixed in a suitable proportions with water is called lime concrete. In this type of concrete hydraulic lime is generally used as a binding material, sand and cinder are used as fine aggregates and broken bricks, gravel can be used as coarse aggregates. PLACING OF LIME CONCRETE : Placing of concrete shall be completed within three hours of adding water in case of concrete is prepared with hydraulic lime. Concrete should be well cured for a period of at least 10 days. USES: Lime concrete is generally used for the sake of economy in foundation works, under floors, over roof and where cement is not cheaply and easily available in required quantity.
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO DESIGN OF CONCRETE PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE The cement concrete in which no reinforcement is provided is called plain cement concrete or mass cement concrete. This type of concrete is strong in taking compressive stresses but weak in taking tensile stresses. USES: Plain cement concrete is commonly used in for foundation work and flooring of buildings.
REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE(RCC) The cement concrete in which reinforcement is embedded for taking tensile stress is called reinforced cement concrete. In this type of concrete the steel reinforcement is to be used generally in the form of round bars,6mm to 32mm dia. This concrete is equally strong in taking tensile, compressive and shear stresses. USES: RCC is commonly used for construction of slabs, beams, columns, foundation, precast concrete.
PRE-STRESSED CEMENT CONCRETE (PCC) The cement concrete in which high compressive stresses are artificially induced before their actual use is called pre-stresses cement concrete. In this type of cement concrete, the high compressive stresses are induced by pre-tensioning the reinforcement before placing the concrete, and the reinforcement is released when final setting of the concrete take place. Uses : This concrete can take up high tensile and compressive stresses without development of cracks. The quantity of reinforcement can be considerably reduced by using this concrete.
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO PURPOSE According to purpose concrete is classified into following types. a. Vacuum concrete: The cement concrete from which entrained air and excess water is removed after placing it, by suction with the help of vacuum pump is called vacuum concrete. In this concrete the excess water which is added to increase workability but not required for the hydration of cement of concrete is removed by forming vacuum chamber
b. Air entrained concrete The concrete prepared by mixing aluminum in it is called air entrained ,cellular or aerated concrete. In this concrete bubbles of hydrogen gas are liberated which forms cell and make the concrete cellular. USES: This concrete is used for lining walls and roofs for heat and sound insulation purpose.
c. Light weight concrete The concrete prepared by using coke breeze, cinder or slag as coarse aggregate is called light weight concrete. The concrete is light in weight and posses heat insulating properties. USES This concrete is used in making precast structural units for partition and wall lining.
Cement, Stone And Sand Ratio DESCRIPTION OF WORK GRADE OF CONCRETE Concrete in columns, beams. 1:1:2 Water retaining structures, Piles, precast work or dense Concrete. 1:1.5:3 RCC beams, slabs, columns. 1:2:4 Foundations for buildings, Mass reinforced works. 1:3:6 For mass concrete work. 1:4:8
WATER CEMENT RATIO For different ratio of concrete the amount of water for 50kg of cement is Concrete ratio Water quantity 1:3:6 34 liter 1:2:4 30 liter 1:1.5:3 27 liter 1:1:2 25 liter • In the preparation of concrete the water cement ratio is very important • For normal construction the water cement ratio is usually 0.5 • Adding to much water will reduce the strength of concrete and can cause segregation.
WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE • It is the amount of work required to place concrete and to compact it thoroughly. • Workability of concrete increases with the addition of water but it reduces the strength that’s why it is not a desirable way of increasing the workability. • Use of aggregates which are round and have smooth surfaces increases the workability. • Workability could also be improved by adding air entraining agent such as vinsol resin or Darex. • Use of Lisapole liquid at 30 cubic centimeter per bag of cement improves not only the workability but also the water tightness of concrete. • Workability of concrete is better determine by compaction factor test.
PLACING OF CONCRETE • After mixing of concrete it should be placed within 30min of adding of water. • It should be quickly transported to the place of lying by means of iron pans manually, in wheel barrows, by pumping or by cranes. • In placing, concrete should be laid in thin layers. Each layer being thoroughly consolidated, before the next one is laid. • Concrete should not be dropped from a height as it would cause segregation of aggregates. • In case concrete has more of water or it has been laid in thick layers then on compaction water and fine particles of cement comes at the top forming a layer of weak substance known as laitance
COMPACTION OF CONCRETE • Compaction of concrete is very important in developing qualities like strength, durability, imperviousness by making the concrete dense and free from voids. • In case of RCC compaction is done by pinning with an iron rod or even with trowel blade. • Excess temping should be avoided as otherwise water, cement and finer particles would come to the surface and results in non uniform concreting. • In case of important and big works, compaction of concrete is done with vibrator. • Use of vibrator is best and the most efficient way of compacting concrete. It gives very dense concrete. • Care should be taken not to make excessive use of vibrators otherwise the concrete becomes non homogeneous
CURING OF CONCRETE • The process of keeping concrete wet to enable it to attain full strength is known as curing. • The objective of curing is to prevent loss of moisture from concrete due to evaporation or because of any other reasons. • Curing should be done for a period of three weeks but not less then 10 days. • To do curing, any one of the following method can be used. i. The surface of concrete is coated with a layer of bitumen or similar other waterproofing compound which gets into the pores of concrete and prevent loss of water from concrete. ii. Concrete surface is covered with waterproof paper or with a layer of wet sand. It could also be covered with gunny bags.
QUALITIES OF GOOD CONCRETE • STRENGTH: The concrete should be able to withstand the stresses that it is subjected to. It is quite strong in compression but weak in tension. • DURABILITY: It should be durable enough to resist the effect of weathering agents. • DENSITY: the concrete should be well compacted so that there are no voids or hollows left. It should weigh 3000 kg/cu.m • WATER TIGHTNESS: when used for construction of water retaining structures such as dams, elevated tanks and water reservoirs then this property of concrete becomes very important. Otherwise the moisture inside the RCC would corrode steel and leakage would start resulting in the ultimate failure of the structure. • WORKABILITY: It should be easily workable. • RESISTANCE TO WEAR AND TEAR: when used in floors and in the construction of roads the concrete should be able to withstand abrasive forces.
