What is concrete made of?
• Concrete is basically a mixture of two components:– Paste – Aggregates
• Paste (Portland cement, water, and air) • Aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed
stone)
![Page 5: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CEMENT• Cement (Dry powder of very fine particles) is a
building material made by grinding calcined limestone and clay into a fine powder
• Portland Cement chemical composition– Limestone, shale and clay
• CaO (lime)• Al2O3 (Alumina)• SO3 (Sulfite)
![Page 6: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CEMENT• When mixed with water, forms a paste• it undergoes chemical changes
(chemical reaction-Hydration)• Glue paste coats all the aggregates
together• hardens and forms a solid mass

WATER
• Water good for drinking is good for
concrete……
![Page 8: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WATER• needed for two purposes:
– chemical reaction with cement– workability
• only 1/3 of the water is needed for chemical reaction
• extra water remains in pores and holes• results in porosity• Good for preventing plastic shrinkage
cracking and workability• Bad for permeability, strength, durability.
![Page 9: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AGGREGATES• cheap fillers• hard material• provide for volume stability• reduce volume changes• provide abrasion resistance
![Page 10: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AGGREGATE• Aggregate are divided into two groups:
– Fine - AASHTO M-6 or ASTM C-33 – Coarse - AASHTO M-80 or ASTM C-33
• Fine aggregate consist of natural or manufactured sand with particle size up to 3/8 inch
• Coarse aggregate particles are retained on the #4 sieve and range up to 6 inches

COARSE AGGREGATE
![Page 12: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FINE AGGREGATE
![Page 13: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CONSTITUENTS• paste 25 to 40%
– portland cement 7% to 15% by Vol.– water 14% to 21% by Vol.
• Aggregates 60% to 75%– coarse aggregates– Fine aggregates
• Admixtures
![Page 14: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CONSTITUENTSCement Water Air Fine Aggregate Coarse Aggregate
Cement paste constitutes about 25% to 40% volume of concrete
![Page 15: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AIR ENTRAINED CONCRETE
• Why the difference between line #1 and line #2?• Line 1, small size CA, increased H2O and cement• Line 2, larger CA, less H20, air, cement
![Page 16: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NON-AIR ENTRAINED CONCRETE
• Similar to Air Entrained Concrete slide• See how aggregate size impacts water
demand and amount of “paste” in the mix
Cement Water Air Fine Aggregate Coarse Aggregate

ADMIXTURES
• increase set time• decrease set time• increase workability• adjust other
concrete properties
• reduce water demand
• entrain air• inhibit corrosion
•Plastic and hardened properties of concrete may be changed by adding admixtures•Admixtures are commonly used to:
![Page 18: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ADMIXTURES• chemical
– retarders– accelerators– water reducing– air entraining
• mineral– fly ash– silica fume– slags
![Page 19: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
QUALITY OF CONCRETE• Quality of concrete
depends on quality of paste and quality of aggregates
• each particle of aggregate is completely coated with paste
• All spaces between aggregate is filled with paste
![Page 20: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
QUALITY OF CONCRETEIs determined by:• W/C Ratio – • Advantage of reducing water
– Increased compressive and flexural strength– lower permeability– increased resistance to weathering– reduced shrinkage cracking tendencies
• The less water used, the better quality of concrete, provided it can be consolidated properly.
![Page 21: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ten cement-paste cylinders with water-cementratios from 0.25 to 0.70. The band indicates that eachcylinder contains the same amount of cement. Increasedwater dilutes the effect of the cement paste, increasingvolume, reducing density, and lowering strength.

FORMS
• A form is the mold for setting concrete into a desired shape

Why Is Concrete Used?Why Is Concrete Used?
![Page 27: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why Is Concrete Used?• Economics
– Inexpensive, readily available
• Material Properties– Long Lasting– Molded into a desired shape– Great insulator– Hard
![Page 28: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Material Properties (cont.)
• Great Compressive Strength (up to 8000 psi and even more than that)
• Poor Tensile Strength (almost 0)– Reinforcement methods ($)

Why Do We Reinforce Why Do We Reinforce Concrete?Concrete?
![Page 30: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why Do We Reinforce Concrete?
• Prevent cracking due to tension forces
![Page 31: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Question
• What is the difference between tension and compression?
![Page 32: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Question
• Why would concrete never be used in tension?
![Page 34: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How Do We Reinforce Concrete?
• Steel rebar– Excellent in tension, poor in
compression
![Page 35: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CURING OF CONCRETECURING OF CONCRETE
![Page 36: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CURING OF CONCRETE• Over time concrete will cure, which is a
hardening process.• Concrete has a 28 day curing time, this
is the amount of time it takes to be considered completely cured
![Page 37: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Critical to durable concrete• Increases strength• Decreases permeability• Increases durability
Curing
![Page 38: “Properties of Concrete” Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815e3d550346895dcca7a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Curing Concrete• How concrete is cured:
– Ponding or Immersion– Spraying or Fogging– Wet Coverings– Impervious Paper– Plastic Sheets– Membrane-Forming Curing
Compounds

Questions?• Remember:
– Use Common Sense– Temperature effects
on your body have very similar effects on concrete
– If you are not sure, ASK!!!
