Concept explainers

Types of Cement

Cement is a fine mixture of limestone, chalk, or marl and clay which when mixed with water, becomes compacted due to the formation of strong molecular bonds. Due to hydration, cement turns into a hard mass when left for a sufficient amount of time upon mixing with water. The water turns the cement compounds into gel-like submicroscopic particles having higher surface areas. It is due to the hydration properties of cement, they are often known as hydraulic cement. For instance, Portland cement is a popular example in this category.

Although the constituents of concrete (aggregate and hydrated cement paste) behave in a linear elastic manner if stress is applied to them and the resulting strain is measured, concrete is not a linear elastic material throughout its entire stress-strain curve. What is the main reason for the deviation from this behavior?

We require a mix with a mean 28-day compressive strength of 28 MPa. The slump is selected to be 40 mm. The maximum size of aggregate is 25 mm, its bulk density is 1570 kg/m3, and its specific gravity is 2.59. The available fine aggregate has a fineness modulus of 2.60 and a specific gravity of 2.62. No air entrainment is required. The cement relative density is 3.15. 1- Design the concrete mix according to ACI method satisfying the above requirements (find water, cement, fine and coarse aggregate masses (in kg/m³) and volumes (in m³) to form 1 m³ of concrete.).
