![Concrete Sealing Compounds – Features & Types [PDF]](https://i0.wp.com/theconstructor.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Concrete-Sealers-629x420.jpg)
Concrete sealing compounds or concrete sealers are liquids applied on the hardened concrete surface to prevent the penetration of deicing solutions, carbon-di-oxide, acids, water, etc. into the concrete. The penetration of such materials results in corrosion of reinforcing steel and ...
Design of Concrete Structures for Durability
Adequate concrete durability can be obtained in the design phase when a structure is conceived, and structural calculations are made, details are designed, materials and their proportions, as well as possible additional preventative measures, are selected. Prevention is further materialized ...
Concrete Durability Requirements Based on ACI-318-19
The ACI 318-19 set durability demand for concrete based on the category exposure and class exposure of the structure, dependent on the ground and weather situation of the area. Each exposure category contains different class exposure. The class exposure describes ...
Fire Damage Mechanism of RC Structure and Assessment Method
Fire cause concrete surface cracking and crazing, chemical decomposition, and microcracking and spalling. These impacts can significantly change the properties of structural concrete, reducing strength and durability, and altering structural behavior. Assessment and evaluation of damages caused by fire is ...
7 Factors Affecting Abrasion Resistance of Concrete Surface
The main factor that controls abrasion resistance of concrete is the concrete’s compressive strength. The higher the concrete surface strength the better the resistance of concrete against abrasion. Apart from concrete strength, there are several factors such as the use ...
What is Fire Resistance of Concrete? Mechanism and Factors
Fire resistance of concrete is the ability of concrete to withstand fire or to give protection against fire. This involves the ability of concrete structural element to continue perform a specific structural function or confine fire or both. The duration ...
What is Reinforced Concrete? Uses, Benefits, and advantages
Reinforced concrete is a combination of traditional cement concrete with reinforcements (steel bar). This combination is made to use the compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel at the same time, hence, work together to resist many types of ...
