· Intermediate columns can fail in both Buckling and Crushing

· Cement: Sand: Aggregate ratio for different grades of concrete

C:S: A

M_7.51:4: 8

M₁₀ 1:3: 6

M₁₅ 1:2: 4

M₂₀ 1: 1.5: 3

M₂₅ 1:1: 2

· Segregation is Separation of cement Sand and Aggregate w/c=0.4

1. This is caused due to improper water-cement ratio w/c=

2. It is also caused when concrete is poured above 1.5m high

· Bleeding: when water comes out of freshly made concrete it is called as Bleeding of Concrete

· Retarder is an admixture added to concrete which keeps concretely workable for longer time. It increases the setting time of concrete

Eg: Sugar is a retarder {accelerates calc₂}

Gypsum

· Deflection means temporary displacement

· Deformation is permanent displacement

· The the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement in concrete is called as water cement ratio

w/c = Weight of water = 0.4

Weight of cement

w/c = 0.4

w/c = 0.35

· 1 Ordinary Portland cement → General construction

2 Pow heat cement → Damns
