When it comes to construction materials, concrete stands as one of the most versatile and widely used substances. Its ability to harden into a strong and durable material makes it a cornerstone of modern infrastructure.
Introduction
Hardened concrete is the result of a chemical transformation that occurs within a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates. As this mixture cures, it develops an array of properties that determine its performance and longevity. Let's explore some of the most crucial properties of hardened concrete.
Understanding Concrete Strength
Compressive Strength: Compressive strength is a fundamental property of concrete, representing its ability to withstand axial loads without collapsing. It is measured by subjecting a cylindrical sample to a gradually applied load until failure. The compressive strength of concrete significantly influences its structural integrity.
Tensile Strength: While concrete boasts excellent compressive strength, its tensile strength is relatively low. This deficiency makes it susceptible to cracking under tensile stress. Reinforcement materials like steel bars (rebars) are often incorporated to enhance tensile strength.
Flexural Strength: Flexural strength measures a concrete beam's ability to withstand bending loads. It is crucial in structural elements like beams and slabs. Proper mix design and curing practices contribute to improved flexural strength.
