Sentence examples for concrete reduces from inspiring English sources

Prestressed concrete reduces the amount of steel and concrete needed in a structure, leading to lighter designs that are often less expensive than designs of reinforced concrete.

These short pieces of fibre make up less than 0.5% of the resulting concrete, but that is enough to increase its electrical conductivity because carbon is a far better conductor than are the other components of the concrete mix.Putting a load on this concrete reduces the effectiveness of the contact between each fibre and the surrounding matrix, and thus slightly reduces its conductivity.

However, the use of GGBS in concrete reduces the strength during the first 28 days.

Furthermore, using any amount of ground ceramic in the concrete reduces its water absorption capacity.

MC results showed that adding 5%and10%0% Colemanite to Barite concrete reduces photoneutron production rate 7%and16%6% respectively.

Although introducing voids in concrete reduces its thermal conductivity and increases its insulation capacity, the mechanical properties are generally compromised.

Glass and fibers in concrete reduce slump.

The modulus of elasticity of concrete reduced significantly when the heating temperature was up to 300 °C, and the reduction was more obvious for concrete containing GGBFS.

The rate of carbonation for the samples with 30 and 50 % GGBS replacement increased, however longer period of water curing for GGBS blended cement concrete reduced the carbonation rate and reduce the concern of increased carbonation rate.

After exposure to accelerated carbonation, the total void ratios of the porous concretes reduced, and the reduction at a 10%% CO2 concentration was as much as 10%%.

The use of the slag had a positive effect on strength for 1200 kg/m3 concretes; reducing the amount of binder used.
