Cement and Concrete Terminology


FOREWORD
This report is the authoritative glossary for cement and concrete technology. It is to be used generally and specifically in ACI technical
communications, correspondence, and publications. One mission of Committee 116 is to produce and maintain a list of terms
with their meaning in the field of cement and concrete technology.
Committee 116 has tried to produce a glossary that will be useful, comprehensive, and up-to-date. It recognizes, however, that the
listing ....etc

Composite Rods as a Steel Substitute in Concrete Reinforcement



Introduction
The concrete construction industry is dealing with a very significant challenge regarding the
deterioration of structures. Nowadays a large number of bridges, buildings and other structural
elements require rehabilitation and repair and its maintenance have become an increasingly serious
problem. Once subjected to repeated loading and to aggressive environmental agents, concrete
structures present a ....etc

SPECIFIC GRAVITY:
WEIGHT OF EMPTY PYCNOMETER (M1) : 324.5g
WEIGHT OF PYCNOMETER + RICE HUSK ASH (M2) : 355.9g
WEIGHT OF PYCNOMETER + RHA + WATER (M3) : 856.3g
WEIGHT OF PYCNOMETER +WATER (M4) : 871.7g
SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF RHA : M2-M1 / (M2-M1)-(M4-M3)
= 1.96
SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF RHA = 1.96
BULK DENSITY :
EMPTY WEIGHT OF CALIBRATED CONTAINER : 47g
WEIGHT OF CONTAINER + RHA : 96.6g
VOLUME OF CONTAINER :100 cm3

BULK DENSITY OF RHA = (96.6-47) / 100
= .496 g/cm3
= 496 kg/m3 ....etc

Reinforced concrete structures often have to face modification and improvement of their performance during their service life. The main contributing factors are change in their use of ,new design standards, deterioration due to corrosion in the steel caused by exposure to an aggressive environment and accident events such as earthquakes .In such circumstances there are two possible solutions: replacement or retrofitting.
Retrofitting of flexural concrete elements are traditionally ac ....etc

Application Of Ferro-cement In Contruction

INTRODUCTION
Ferro-cemnt is a relatively new material consist of wire meshes and cement mortar.
Developed by P.L.Nervi,an Italian architect in 1940.
Widely used due to the low self weight,lack of skilled workers,no need of framework etc .
Quality of ferrocement works are assured because the components are manufactured on machinery set up and execution time at work site is less.
Maintenance cost is low.
Ferro-cement construction has come into widespread use only in ....etc
