Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when the steel rebar within reinforced concrete structures rusts. In scientific terms, concrete corrosion is the “destruction of…
A concrete mix is a combination of five major elements in various proportions: cement, water, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates (i.e. sand), and air. Additional elements…
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when a structure is exposed to elements like CO2 or chloride, which can penetrate the concrete all the…
Summer is a busy time for the construction industry. The warm months present a chance to get a lot done, and avoid the extensive challenges…
The maturity method is a convenient approach to predict the early age strength gain of concrete, using the principle that the concrete strength is directly related to the hydration temperature history of cementitious paste.
When choosing a method for concrete strength measurement and concrete field strength monitoring, it is important for project managers to consider the impact that each…
As we build concrete structures, it is important to know the ability they have to withstand compressive loading and to find ways to improve it….
The fast-paced environment of the construction industry results in a constant search for better and more efficient ways to evaluate the quality of concrete. Despite…
Before we delve into the process of its removal, it is essential to understand what “formwork” means in the concrete sphere. As described by Hunker, formwork that is set prior…
A listening ear, wise judgment calls, and real industry experience are attributes we pride ourselves on offering throughout your project life cycle. In this blog, learn about new customer onboarding at Giatec
Giatec has announced the release of its newest product, the SmartRock® Pro. This new sensor provides a superior solution for general contractors and producers to cut costs and save time. But, hows does it differ from the well-known SmartRock® wireless sensor? In this blog, let’s delve into the differences and similarities between these two innovative testing technologies.
In this blog, we learn the similarities in results and the differences in procedures between Concrete Electrical Resistivity (ASTM C1876) and the Concrete RCPT method (ASTM C1202). Likewise, we will discuss the advantages of concrete resistivity equipment as opposed to other devices.
As the concrete industry keeps growing, so does the number of sites that offer quality and educational content. The topics range from tips and techniques to sustainability in the industry. So, let’s check a compilation of the best five concrete blogs you should be on the lookout for this year.
