Trimix concrete flooring is a very strong type of flooring that is usually found in places where heavy machines are used. This type of flooring can handle a lot of wear and tear without getting damaged. The reason why it’s mostly used in industrial settings is because it can support light weight cranes, carrier vehicles … Read more
As we know we have to find the solution to repair concrete crack manually in the past. Now we have another alternative method to replace this process called Self Healing Concrete. In this article I will explain self healing concrete in detail. Definition Concrete that can fix its cracks on its own, either autogenously or … Read more
Estimates suggest that the production of traditional cement accounts for around eight to ten percent of the world’s total emissions of carbon dioxide. This is because the process of crushing and heating limestone and clays to produce cement requires a substantial amount of energy and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. Engineers can reduce the … Read more
Nano Concrete Introduction The addition of nano-sized particles to concrete can enhance its properties, such as strength, durability, and self-cleaning abilities. Nano concrete has a denser and stronger material due to the addition of nanoscale particles that fill in the spaces between larger concrete particles. Nano concrete is more resistant to water and chemical damage … Read more

The concrete vibrator has a different needle-like 25 mm to 90 mm. The selection of vibrator needle is based on center to center spacing between two or more steel bars. If the … Read more
In reinforced concrete structures, understanding the differences between clear cover, nominal cover, and effective cover is crucial for ensuring the durability and strength of the construction. The concrete cover is provided in all structural members like footing, column, beam, slab, etc. It is provided for a long life of the concrete structure and to prevent … Read more
Prestressed concrete is a type of concrete that is strengthened by pre-tensioning or post-tensioning steel wires or bars inside it. This technique allows for the construction of stronger, more durable structures that can withstand greater loads and stresses than traditional reinforced concrete. The advantages of prestressed concrete include improved structural efficiency, reduced material usage, and … Read more
