Lecture

Concrete Mechanical Properties

Description

This lecture covers the mechanical properties of concrete, including compressive strength, water/cement ratio, modulus of elasticity, and factors influencing concrete resistance. It also discusses the importance of cracks and defects in materials, the tensile/flexural strength test of concrete, and the measurement of the elastic modulus. The influence of parameters like age, hydration, and workability on concrete strength is explored, along with the significance of proper curing techniques to enhance concrete durability and mechanical properties.
