My question is- What are the mean and use of density of cement concrete cubes.

Afzal Qadri says:

Please let me know if we can avoid doing primer (SS-1) on WBM/WMM on new road construction by increasing the quantiyy of emulsion RS-1 in the tach coat by 0.1 kg/sqm. We can save a lot of cost by this.

Gobind Khurana says:

why we should not use Extra Rapid Hardening Cement in pre stress constructions

Mita says:

Hello, my contractor changed the mix in the middle of the concreting of our roof RCC slab.
The mix was meant to be 1:1.5:3.
But he made it 1:2:4 for about 20 rounds of concreting.
There were 4 concrete mixers functioning.
How can i calculate the volume of concrete manufactured by 4 mixers @ 1:2:4 for 20 rounds.

abdelrahman elyamany says:

can you help me with designing a concrete mix design according to British standard (BSI) with a compressive strength 40 mpa

kundan says:

suppose a person hits the concrete rooftop of a house with the spade/hoe just in the process of mixing cement so as to remove the extra cement which clings to the hoe. He does not hit it intentionally from a big height but just hits somehow hardly. So will the rooftop develop any crack or get damaged? the rooftop has slight variation in thickness at fan points & gradually varies(very little) in thickness from north to south

parwinder says:

how we can measure thickness of plaster at the field site.

amardeep says:

Why water curing of concrete structure is required as per IS 456 is for 7 days and for same structure’s casted cubes is for 28 days? Why is there difference between curing period between site and laboratory conditions?
