Frequently Asked Questions

What are the tests done on concrete?

The tests done on fresh concrete are:

Clearing and stick raking
Strip cultivating and mounding
Vegetation control
Site preparation and levelling

Hardened concrete is tested for compressive and flexural strength.

What determines the overall strength of concrete?

In general, the overall strength of concrete is determined by the amount of water and cement that goes into it. The relative proportion of these two components is known as the water/cement ratio. While sand and stone also go into the concrete mix, the water/cement ratio is the primary factor that affects concrete strength.

How does temperature affect the placement of concrete?

Temperature significantly affects the placement of concrete, specifically the chemical reaction within its cement component. Temperatures approaching zero Celsius or lower will slow down the cement’s chemical reaction and may freeze the water content of the concrete. This weakens the concrete because it cannot set properly. On the other hand, high temperatures – around 32 degrees Celsius or more – needlessly speeds up the cement’s chemical reaction. This causes the concrete to set too fast, leaving very little time for proper placement and finishing. The ideal temperature for placing concrete is 10 to 29 degrees Celsius.
