Get rid of several misconceptions about watering and curing concrete

On the one hand, the main purpose of watering and curing concrete is to maintain sufficient moisture on the surface of the concrete structure within the specified time, which is the basis of cement hydration reaction.

On the other hand, only by controlling the external conditions of watering and curing concrete can it be conducive to temperature control and avoid the occurrence of cracks.

In the specific process of concrete watering and curing, operators often have a misunderstanding of the purpose of concrete watering and curing, and only understand it as a prescribed operation, without much value to the concrete structure itself.

Before watering and curing concrete, construction personnel should be organized together to learn the process and principles of concrete watering and curing, clarify the purpose of concrete watering and curing, increase the attention of construction personnel to concrete watering and curing, and guide specific behaviors in concrete watering and curing work, thus achieving the improvement of the quality of concrete watering and curing work.

What is the conclusion drawn when using the rebound method to test the strength of structural concrete entities?

Should the conclusion of the rebound core method for testing the compressive strength of structural solid concrete in the previous text be qualified or meet the design requirements? This article explains how to draw conclusions about the rebound core method for testing the strength of structural solid concrete.

There is a message asking how to draw conclusions when using the rebound method for testing, providing a brief explanation.

Study on the influence of various factors on the performance of LC50 lightweight aggregate concrete preparation

Lightweight aggregate concrete has broad application prospects in the field of highways due to its lightweight and good seismic performance.

Lightweight aggregate concrete can significantly reduce the self weight of the structure while ensuring its bearing capacity, which meets the development needs of modern green and low-carbon buildings.

However, the performance of lightweight aggregate concrete is significantly affected by the preparation process, especially the porous and water absorbing characteristics of lightweight aggregate itself, which can lead to unstable workability and large mechanical property dispersion of the mixture.

Fiber reinforced concrete ring pouring technology for large-span dome

(3) The pouring of the dome concrete construction sections C1-C2 is carried out simultaneously by three pump trucks.

The positions of pump truck 1, pump truck 2, and pump truck 3 are shown in the following figure.

Following the principle of symmetrical pouring, pouring is carried out in a clockwise direction.

Pump trucks 1, 2, and 3 are moved once during the pouring process, and each pump truck completes the dome pouring within a 120 ° range.

Analysis and preventive measures of concrete pavement cracks

The main causes of cracks: cracks caused by external loads (including static and dynamic loads during construction and use); Cracks caused by deformation (including temperature, humidity deformation, uneven settlement, etc.

); Cracks caused by construction operations such as production, demolding, maintenance, stacking, transportation, lifting, etc.

Classification of cracks: Classified by the direction and shape of cracks, there are horizontal cracks, vertical cracks, transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks, oblique cracks, and radial cracks; According to the depth of cracks, there are three types: through cracks, deep cracks, and surface cracks; Classified by causes, there are mainly plastic cracks, shrinkage cracks, temperature cracks, and uneven settlement cracks.
