Concrete Materials & Methods ARCH 330 Fall 2008

Concrete and Cement Concrete is a rocklike material produced by mixing coarse and fine aggregates, Portland cement, and water; then allowing the mixture to harden. There are eight type of Portland cement; Type I is used for most purposes in construction. Type II and V is used when concrete is in contact with water and has a high concentration of sulfates. Type II hardens more quickly than the other types. Type IV is used in massive structure such as dams where excessive heat is a concern.

Aggregates and Water Aggregates make up roughly ¾ of the volume of concrete. Water is required as a reactant in the curing of the concrete. More the water the more fluid it becomes and it is easier to work. Air-entrainment- adding air bubbles in the concrete makes it easier to work but most importantly increases resistance to freeze thaw cycles.

Curing Concrete Because concrete cures by hydration and not by drying, it is essential that concrete be kept moist until its required strength is achieved. Concrete can segregate (segregation) easily, which means that the coarse aggregate works its way to the bottom of the form and the water and cement paste rise to the top. It should not be dropped a distance of no more than 3-4 feet. Vibration reduces segregation. Concrete is designed on the basis of the strength that it reaches after 28 days. Low and high temperatures make concrete curing more difficult. Low temperature the curing proceeds at a much reduced rate. In hot temperatures, the hydration reaction is greatly accelerated.
