Hardened Concrete Properties
Strength
compressive
strength 2000-8000 psi
tensile strength 200-800 psi
flexural strength
compression >> tension since concrete is notch
sensitivite
Factors Affecting Strength
Curing conditions, humidity
temperature
w/c , (inversely related) Abram’s law
air content, (inversely related), short and long term
aggregate characteristics, roughness,grading,
minerological.
cement type, composition, fineness, type I vs. type III
cement content (directly related)
Strength porosity relationship

Factors Affecting Concrete Strength
Durability
Resistance

Cracking
Internal
Problems
Rebar Corrosion
Resistance to freezing and thawing-Major
factors
Air Entrainment
w/c, low water -cement ratio/ water content
volume stability, stiff aggregates with low coefficient of
thermal expansion
Air Entrainment
Water gains 9% in volume upon freezing
nighttime freezing followed by daytime thawing,
approximately 40 cycles per year, average. max of 200
cycles per year.
fatigue loading of ice formation within pores
Air Entraining Admixture (AEA) Must provide:
Pore size
Pore spacing
Pore specific surface area
Internal voids
Durability-Cracking
