LIMITATIONS TO CONCRETE
Concrete is Quasi-brittle Material
Low Tensile Strength Due to low tensile strength, concrete is required to be reinforced
to avoid cracks.
Concrete has Low Toughness
Concrete has Low specific strength
Formwork is Required
Long curing time
Demands Strict Quality Control
In long structures expansion joints are required to be provided if there is large
temperature variance in the area.
Construction joints are provided to avoid cracks due to drying shrinkage and moisture-
expansion.
NEED FOR CONCRETE
Environmental Importance of Concrete
Versatility
Durability
Strength
MERITS OF CONCRETE
Availability of concrete ingredients easily.
Easy handling and moulding of concrete into any shape.
Easy transportation from the place of mixing to place of casting before
initial set takes place.
Ability to pump/spray to fill into cracks and lining of tunnels.
When reinforced, all types of the structures are made possible from an
ordinary lintel to massive fly overs
Monolithic character gives better appearance and much rigidity to the
structure.
The property of concrete to possess high compressive strength, makes
a concrete structure more economical than that of steel structure.

    LIMITATIONS TO CONCRETE Concreteis Quasi-brittle Material Low Tensile Strength Due to low tensile strength, concrete is required to be reinforced to avoid cracks. Concrete has Low Toughness Concrete has Low specific strength Formwork is Required Long curing time Demands Strict Quality Control In long structures expansion joints are required to be provided if there is large temperature variance in the area. Construction joints are provided to avoid cracks due to drying shrinkage and moisture- expansion.

    MERITS OF CONCRETE Availabilityof concrete ingredients easily. Easy handling and moulding of concrete into any shape. Easy transportation from the place of mixing to place of casting before initial set takes place. Ability to pump/spray to fill into cracks and lining of tunnels. When reinforced, all types of the structures are made possible from an ordinary lintel to massive fly overs Monolithic character gives better appearance and much rigidity to the structure. The property of concrete to possess high compressive strength, makes a concrete structure more economical than that of steel structure.
