CONCRETE MIX DESIGN FOR STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO EXPOSURE CLASS XC1 DEPENDING ON CONCRETE COVER

Permeability of Concrete Mix Design

In the present investigation, study of water permeability of concrete was carried out..The strength of concrete is depend on its mix proportions. we used high strength concrete which have its compressive strength is above 50 MPa.in order to measure co-efficient of permeability as per IS:3085-1965,the cylinder with height to diameter ratio equal to one were cast and subjected to a constant press...

Self-Compacting Concrete - Procedure for Mix Design

Self-compacting concrete is a fluid mixture suitable for placing in structures with congested reinforcement without vibration. Self-compacting concrete development must ensure a good balance between deformability and stability. Also, compactibility is affected by the characteristics of materials and the mix proportions; it becomes necessary to evolve a procedure for mix design of SCC. The paper...

Value of Admixture in Concrete Mix Design

Despite its few inherent shortcomings, concrete has proved to be the most widely used construction material, no substitute in time still to come. In the present investigation, study of admixture of concrete was carried out. The strength of concrete depends on its mix proportions. We used so many admixture e.g. ‘silica. Fumes, fly ash etc , when we used these type of admixture the result was ver...

Considering the Soil Effects on Design Process of Performance-Based Plastic Design for Reinforced Concrete Structures

In this research, Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method has been modified according to the proposed method for considering Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) effects. In the proposed modified method, based on the existing relationships and in order to maintain the simplicity of the PBPD design method, two important parameters have been modified in the PBPD design method. These two parame...
