Permeability A key characteristic that controls how quickly liquids enter a porous solid is concrete’s permeability, which is mostly influenced by the number and size of pores in the matrix of the concrete as well as the intricacy of the paths that the liquids take. The pores that are important for permeability usually have a […]
Admixture According to ACI 212.R-10, admixture is a material that is added to a batch of concrete either right before or right during the mixing process. Admixtures are blended to enhance the qualities of either freshly-poured or hardened concrete, or their combination.

Concrete Concrete is a building material made of cement, water, and fine (sand-like) and coarse aggregates that solidify over time. The most popular kind of cement for making concrete is Portland cement. Concrete technology is the study of concrete’s characteristics and uses in real-world situations.Concrete is used in building construction to create slabs, columns, beams, […]
