long distances transport

Casting and placing of concrete Concrete transportation

Poorly proportioned mix
Add minimum water content Compacting concrete Mixing
Factor that influence Use of high water-cement ratio
Design the concrete mix properly Concrete curing Batching
Dropping concrete from more than 1m
Add more cement Concrete works Vibrating concrete for a long time
Ways to prevent
increase the amount of fine aggregate if sand is coarser
Separation of Coarse aggregate from the concrete mixture
Use chemical admixtures
Bleeding concrete works at the construction site Segregation Separation of Cement paste from the concrete
Use fly as
Separation of water from the concrete mix (Bleeding in concrete)
Segregationis the cause
Proper design
water to cement ratio is higher Effect on concrete
Factor mix must not be too wet or too dry
type of cement used difficult to compact properly loses its strength
mixing speed must be correct
quantity of fine aggregate Reduces the bond loses its homogeneity Ways to prevent
shortest duration is chosen
Surface cracking Causing permeability
A watertight formwork must be employed

Proper use of vibrator
