Concrete Fact
• The most used man‐made material• The 2nd most used material• Total value of concrete infrastructure > 17 trillion US dollars
• Annual consumption of concrete in the world– 18 billion ton/year (as of 2015)– About 3 tons per person– More than 10x that of steel
Advantages of Concrete
• Ease of production from local materials(cost benefit)
• Good compressive strength• Protection of embedded steel (fireresistance)
• Mouldability to achieve any shape andsize (flexibility of application)
• A durable material in principle
Advantages of Concrete
• Require less energy to produce thanother construction materials
• Aesthetic possibilities through the useof color, texture and shape
• A material with tailorable properties
Disadvantages of Concrete
• A brittle material with very low tensilestrength and tensile ductility.
• Low strength‐to‐weight ratio (even incompression)
• Prone to chemical attack• Undergoes irreversible shrinkage due tomoisture loss
• Creep significantly under an appliedload
What is Concrete?
• Concrete is made by mixing:
– Cement
– Fine aggregates
– Coarse aggregates
– Water
Concrete Admixture
• An additional material, known as admixture, is
sometimes added to modify certain properties of
concrete

Functions of Aggregates in Concrete
• Reduce costs
• Modify properties of concrete
• Reduce dry shrinkage
Admixtures
• Admixtures are substances that are introduced into a batch of concrete, during or immediately before its mixing, in order to alter or improve the properties of the fresh or hardened concrete or both
Use of Admixtures
• To improve the workability of the fresh concrete
• To reduce water content for a given workability thereby increasing the strength
• To increase the durability of hardened concrete
• To retard setting time or to increase it
Use of Admixtures
• To impart colour to concrete• To maintain volume stability by reducing or offsetting shrinkage during concreting
• To increase concrete resistance to freezing and thawing
Reinforced Concrete
• Basically made of two materials: plain concrete and steel bars embedded in concrete.
• The tensile strength of concrete is only about 10 % of the compressive strength assumed does not resist any tensile forces.
• Reinforcement is designed to carry the tensile strength.
Reinforce Concrete
• Proper bonding is required to prevent slip of the bars
• Proper concrete mixtures are needed to provide adequate impermeability of the concrete against water intrusion and bar corrosion
Stress‐Strain Relationship
• As the load is applied, at first strain increases linearly with stress and the concrete behaves as an elastic material.
• After that the curve is no longer linear and the concrete behaves more like plastic material.
• In the plastic range, if the load is removed, the deformation would not recover.
Concrete Strength
• Concrete generally increases its strength with age.
• A typical variation in strength of an adequately cured Portland Cement Conrete as suggested by BS8110 is:
• BS 8110 does not permit the use of strengths greater than the 28‐day value in calculations
Duration 7 days 1 month 2 months 3 months 6 month 1 year
Strength (N/mm2)
20 30 33 35 36 37
Durability of Concrete
The durability of concrete is influenced by:
• The exposure conditions
• The concrete quality
• The cover to the reinforcement
• The width of any cracks
Specification of Concrete
• Concrete of a given strength is identified by
its “grade”
• For example Grade 25 concrete has a
characteristic cube crushing strength of 25
N/mm2 after 25 days of curing.
• For normal dense aggregate reinforced
concrete use grades of 30, 35, 40

Environmental Impact of Concrete
Enormous raw material and energy consumption • Global concrete demand > 18 billion tons annually as of 2006
• 1 ton of cement clinker requires 1.7 tons of non‐fuel raw materials
• Cement production is 10x more energy intensive than general economy and is account for 2% of global primary energy use (4000‐7500 MJ per tonne of cement)
• Land scarring
Environmental Impact of Concrete
CO2 emission and climate change • Production of 1 ton of cement clinker generates equal amount of greenhouse gas
• Cement production accounts for 5‐10% of global CO2 emissions
Surface runoff Urban heat island
Shrinkage
• As concrete hardens there is a reduction in volume.
• This shrinkage is liable to cause cracking of the concrete.
• It also has the beneficial effect of strengthening the bond between the concrete and the steel reinforcement.
Thermal Expansion
• Day‐to day thermal expansion of concrete can be greater than the movements caused by shrinkage.
• When the tensile stresses caused by shrinkage or thermal movement exceed the strength of concrete, cracking will occur.
• To control the crack widths, steel reinforcement must be provided close to the concrete surface.
Workability & Consistency
• It is desirable that freshly mixed concrete be relatively easy to transport, place, compact and finish without harmful segregation. A concrete mix satisfying these conditions is said to be workable.
• It is determined to a large extent by measuring the “consistency” of the mix. Consistency is the fluidity or degree of wetness of concrete.
Factors Affecting Workability
• Method and duration of transportation.• Quantity and characteristics of cementingmaterials.
• Aggregate grading, shape and surface texture.• Quantity and characteristics of chemicaladmixtures.
• Amount of water.• Amount of entrained air.• Concrete & ambient air temperature.
Bleeding
• Bleeding is the tendency of water to rise to the surface of freshly placed concrete.
• It is caused by the inability of solid constituents of the mix to hold all of the mixing water as they settle down.
Concrete Structural Form
• Flat slab• Ribbed slab• Waffle slab• Band beam and slab• Deep beam and slab• Hybrid concrete construction• Precast• Tunnel form
Flat Slab
• A reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete column without the use of beams
Flat Slab with Drop Panels & Column Heads
Use of drop panels:• Increase shear strength of slab• Increase negative moment capacity of slab• Stiffen the slab and hence reduce deflectionUse of column heads:• Increase shear strength of slab• Reduce the moment in the slab by reducing the clear or effective span
Benefit of Flat Slab
• Flexibility in room layout• Saving in building height; most economic forms of construction
• Shorter construction time• Ease of installation of M & E services• Prefabricated welded mesh• Buildable score• Can incorporate all edge protection and provide robust working platform (health & safety)
Waffle Slab
• A type of slab that has two‐directional reinforcement on the outside of the material, giving it the shape of the pockets on a waffle.

Ribbed Slab
• A pre‐stressed concrete flat half slab with concrete up strands (rib) that are purposely designed to provide the necessary stiffness to the slab for handling
Advantages of Ribbed and Waffle Slab
• Flexible• Relatively light, therefore less foundation costs and longer spans are economic
• Speed of construction• Fairly slim floor depths• Robustness• Excellent vibration control• Thermal mass• Good for services integration• Durable finishes• Fire resistance
Disadvantages of Ribbed and Waffle Slab
• Construction requires strict supervision and skilled labour.
• The casting forms or moulds required for pre‐cast units are very costly and hence only economical when large scale production of similar units are desired.
• Headroom is reduced , hence increased storey height.
• Due to waffle ceiling , it creates problem in lighting facilities and hanging pipes or ducts.
Ribbed and Waffle Slab
• Commonly used as both ceiling and floor slab. They are used in the areas which has huge spans.
• It is often used for industrial, commercial buildings, airports, parking garages, bridges, residences and other structures requiring extra stability.
• The main purpose of employing this technology is for its strong foundation characteristics of crack and sagging resistance. Waffle slab also holds a greater amount of load compared with conventional concrete slabs.

Band Beam and Slab
• Beam and slab construction involves the use of one or two way spanning slabs onto bems spanning in one or two directions
• Band beams are shallow, wide beams that minimise the overall structural depth.
Deep Beam and Slab
• Deep beam provide a stiff floor capable of long spans, and able to resist lateral loads.
• To limit the formation of flexural cracks along the sides
• Beam can be designed as T or L beams using the slab as a flange

• Seven individuals wires, with six wires helically wound to a long pitch around a centre wire.
• All strands should be grade 1860 Mpa
• Strand is mostly available in two nominal size 12.7mm&15.7mm diameter
Bonded Tendon
• Bond is achieved throughout the length of the tendon by a cementitious matrix called grout
• Post‐tension force along the tendon is a function of the deformation of the concrete
Advantages of Bonded Tendon
• Higher flexural capacity.• Good flexural crack distribution.• Good corrosion protection.• Flexibility for later cutting of penetrations.• Easier demolition.
Advantages of Post‐Tension Slab
