CONCRETE IS AN ARTIFICIAL
STONE
Binding material + Inert material + Water
Cement
and lime
Aggregates
•Fine aggregates
•Coarse aggregates
Sand and surki
Brick khoya,
broken stones,
gravels, pebbles
etc

PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE
•Strength
Compressive
Tensile
Flexural
Shear
•Elastic properties
•Fatigue
•Durability
•Impermeability and
•Workability
11. A Text Book of Engineering Materials- by Dr. M. A. Aziz
FACTORS CONTROLLING PROPERTIES OF
CONCRETE
•Grading of the aggregates
•Moisture content of the aggregates
•Water-cement ratio
•Quality of water for mixing & curing
•Proportioning the various ingredients of
concrete
•Method of mixing
•Placing and compaction of concrete
•Curing of concrete
12. A Text Book of Engineering Materials- by Dr. M. A. Aziz
PRE-CAST CONCRETE
Cast into moulds either in a factory or at the site
Hardening & curing are also carried out where
it is cast
Used in lintels, ornamentation & architectural
works in buildings
Advantages
Better supervision, production not hampered by
weather conditions, less shuttering
requirements, time of construction is less &
quick laying of precast units on site
13. A Text Book of Engineering Materials- by Dr. M. A. Aziz
R.C.C.-REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE
Very strong in compression
Easy to produce at site and
inexpensive
Steel is very strong in tension
Contain the liquid concrete and give it
the form and shape we need.
Contains steel bars
14. A Text Book of Engineering Materials- by Dr. M. A. Aziz
P.C.C.-PRE STRESSED CEMENT CONCRETE
Concrete remains un-cracked
Reduction of steel corrosion
Increases durability
High span to depth ratio
less dead load
More economical
Builds in compressive stresses during construction
