As a foundational building material, concrete must exceed quality and strength expectations. This means rigorous testing throughout the construction process. Concrete is the most commonly used ...
So that it may be certain that a concrete specimen’s mechanical properties reach the strength and deflection imperatives for its intended use, concrete specimens with specific dimensions are prepared, ...
A new test developed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign can predict the performance of a new type of cementitious construction material in five minutes—a significant improvement over the ...
With a new multiyear highway bill passed and other positive economic indicators boosting morale, crowds poured into Las Vegas on Feb. 2-5 for the World of Concrete show. Some unusually chilly ...
Canal pavers, such as this GOMACO model, are modified transverse-roller pavers that have been adapted to fit the slope and dimensions of trapezoidal shaped canals. The mainline slipform paver is the ...
A solid concrete structure may probably fail if gaps are not properly bridged and protected. When the concrete structure serves as a containment vessel of fluids, leakage must be prevented or reduced ...
