    I have a question about concrete strength.

    I have a piece of construction equipment that I would like to put into a warehouse.
    The equipment has a ground pressure of 11.4 psi and a ground contact area of
    3173 sq. in. with a total weight of 36,150 lbs.
    If I did the calculations correct a 6″ thick concrete slab should be able
    to support this without a problem of cracking since, from the chart I read a 6″ thick
    slab should be able to support 306 psi. The floor has a minimum thickness
    of 6″ and in some places would be as thick as 12″. Could someone let me know if I
    calculated this right???

    Thank you,
    Phil

    dear sir,
    ur website is very usefull for teh civil enigineers,i want to know the compressive strength
    for for the mix m10,15,20,25,30,35, for 3days,7,28,91days,
    please send this as early as possible

    Dear sir,

    can you please explain in brief “why don’t we consider tensile strength of concrete while designing?”& “why there is a assumption in code to ignore tensile strength of concrete?”

    I have asked so many experts about this but they were unable to resolve my query.

    Please explain as early as possible.
    Your early response will very much be appreciated & praised..

    thanks & regards

    Hi, your information are really helpful. I will like to know the tensile and compressive strength concrete. Thank you

    Ur website is very use full for civil engineers,I want to know the tensile strength for M30 for 3days,7& 28,
    please send this as early as possible

    Need info,please. Bidding to build a truckshop….40×90x14…….to be used to park crude oil transports usually loaded and also packed with ice and snow in wintertime.These units are 85,000# GVW.
    Need to know if concrete thicker than 5 1/2 inches is necessary.
    Methinks a 6″ slab would be better and perhaps 8″ alot better.
    I may be wrong though. Please advise. Thank you.

    How would i know the true tensile strength of the concrete? i have a problem in school. I still have no topic for my research. Someone help me pls.
    i would like to deal with the tensile strength of the concrete, as my proposal. Having tests and experiments to identify its tensile strength and modulus of elasticity..

    Dear Sir,

    Greetings!

    I would like to know on how to design M70, M75 and M80 mix concrete. please give me also a procedure or steps in designing mix concrete.

    Please give me a feedback or mail regarding the above query early as possible.

    Thank you very much.

    Best regards,

    dear sir,i hv a problem of slab r/f, i.e beam size 450×250mm and slab span of 3550×2500mm c/c and thickness 125mm.
    and of restrain slab design of two
    layer, about 200c/c of 8dia bar. sir how to cal. the quantity of r/f of this particular slab.
    sir please mail me with solution.will be thankful to you for your kind reflection
    thank you very much,
    adam

    sir please forward the degeree of control of M30,M35.please forward the design mix of M30

  • karthik March 23, 2010 at 11:13 pm

    sir i need the mix design for M80 grade of concrete. mayi please get it as early as possible.

    Dear Sir,

    We manufacture concrete pavers and we were wondering what steps to take to increase our tensile strength? If anyone knows what I can do to help increase the tensile strength of my pavers
    Thank you.
