In this study, the mechanical properties of medium strength concrete (MSC) and medium strength coconut fiber reinforced concrete (MSCFRC) with the addition of different super plasticizer content i.e. 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%, by mass of cement, are investigated.
In the saline medium, the concrete admixed with 0.679 M sodium-nitrite exhibited optimal inhibition performance, but with reduction in concrete compressive strength.
Such practice requires inexpensive and medium strength concrete.
In these forms of indirect cult, then, saints are venerated through the medium of concrete objects.
When LWA is used as internal curing medium within concrete, usually small amount is required to supply the additional water (Bentz and Weiss 2010).
It is, therefore, evident that MCA has the potential to be used as internal curing medium within concrete and can be considered as an alternative but effective curing solution for general construction work in Bangladesh.
A novel testing method and apparatus, the Heat-Transfer Rate Inducing System (H-TRIS) is used to test medium-scale concrete specimens under simulated standard fire exposures.
However, in real applications other combinations are possible, such as high or medium strength concretes with high strength steel fibers of different lengths and geometry.
The Design Codes (Eurocode 2 (EC2), Spanish EHE-08, Model Code 2010 and RILEM approach) have developed formulas to calculate the fiber contribution to shear, mainly focused on standard FRCs, i.e. medium strength concretes with a low content of normal strength steel fibers.
And CarbonCure has demonstrated that its technology can help a typical medium-sized concrete producer reduce CO2 emissions by 900 tonnes a year.
