The cement paste, i.e., cement mixed with water, forms a solid product.

The hardened cement paste can be regarded as the ’glue’ joiningthe sand and gravel (stones) together in the concrete.

Concrete

The higher concentration of the paste, i.e., the lower water content in mix, the greater the strength.

Limitations

Concrete is brittle with low tensile strength

Volume stability can be a problem (caused by moisture changes andtemperature changes)

Creep can be a problem (deformation changes at constant mechanical loads)

The aggregates may not contain humus.(especially the small fractions, i.e., the sand).

There should not be clay particles onthe surface of the aggregates since it lessens the adherence of cement.

Humus

Porous flint with a high content of opal

One should avoid aggregates containingreactive silica (e.g. opal-containing flint).This type of silica may react with thealkalis (Na+ and K+) in the hardened cement and cause serious cracks.

Reinforcement = Reinforced concrete

BJO, BYG

34

Remember: no structural concrete without reinforcement!

Concrete and reinforcement

The concrete and the reinforcement have the same temperatureexpansion coefficient. This is a necessary condition for avoiding

cracking of reinforced concrete structures

About 1–5 % of volume is reinforcement BJO, BYG

Fresh concrete is a mixture of:

• 20–30 vol% cement and water

• 70–80 vol% aggregates

• 1–2 vol% air

• possibly: admixturesBJO, BYG

The most important mixtureparameter is the weight ratio between

Setting and Bleeding: fresh concreteSetting: defined as the onset of rigidity in fresh concrete

Hardening: describes the development of useful and measurable strengthBJO, BYG

Bleeding (a special form of segregation) may be defined as the upward movement of water after concrete has been consolidated but before it has set (undesirable phenomena). Can be avoided using cement with high fineness.

52

Plastic shrinkage BJO, BYG

When the evaporation rate exceeds the rate of bleeding and the free settlement period is ended, a hydrostatic tension begins to develop throughout the mass owing to the formation of menisci at the water surfaces in the capillaries. This results in vertical as well as lateral compressive forces and may be manifested in a slab (thick plate) by pattern cracking. It is called plastic shrinkage cracking.
