Heating Concrete Cold Weather Concreting FPRimeC Solution

Protecting Concrete in Cold Weather

Protecting concrete in cold weather is a continuous challenge for concrete contractors and site supervisors. Placing concrete in the cold weather condition requires special preparation and protection. All necessary precautions should be taken in order to to alleviate the negative impacts of cold weather. Special curing and protection is required in most cases. In my previous article, we reviewed what is considered cold for concrete construction, and what should be…Read More »Protecting Concrete in Cold Weather

How to Evaluate Compressive Strength of Concrete

What is the best method for the measurement of compressive strength of concrete? Testing cylinders and cubes in compression is the most convenient and well-known method for measuring the strength. The main question is if one can design and develop a method that can measure the strength faster, easier, and more accurate? Can all the advancements in sensor technology and better understanding of the development of concrete microstructure can help…Read More »How to Evaluate Compressive Strength of Concrete

Ontario Structure Inspection Manual The Ontario Structure Inspection Manual has been used for bridge inspections in Ontario since 1985. The manual underwent significant modifications in the year 2000 (OSIM, 2008). This FAQ provides general definitions and terminology used in the OSIM 2008.

Structural Effects of Corrosion

Structural Effects of Corrosion

Share on linkedin Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on telegram Share on whatsapp Share on email Corrosion of steel reinforcement is often investigated in the context of the durability performance of the structure; however, corrosion can equally impact the structural performance. Steel corrosion may result in reduced flexural capacity (loss of rebar cross section), reduced bond, and limited ductility. In this article, we will review some of the…Read More »Structural Effects of Corrosion
