Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- A normal-weight concrete has an average compressive strength of 20 MPa. What is the estimated flexural strength in MPa?What is the distinction between cement and concrete? Explain three techniques that are utilized to strengthen concrete by reinforcement.True or false: Generally speaking, concrete will be priced the same regardless of its designed strength, 4,500 psi concrete will cost the same as 3,000 psi concrete.
- A normal-weight concrete has an average compressive strength of 4500 psi.What is the estimated modulus of elasticity?A normal-weight concrete has an average compressive strength of 4500 psi. What is the estimated modulus of elasticity? What is the estimated tensile strength of this concrete?Urgent Take the unit weight of concrete to be 2400 kg/m3 and the specified compressive strength to be 28 MPa.From this, estimate the modulus of elasticity of concrete in GPa. (answer with complete solution) Final answer must be Ec = 26.752 GPa
