How do you clean concrete solution?
Concrete is commonly used to construct elements such as columns, beams, walls, lintels, slabs and foundations. The quality of prepared concrete is controlled by checking the quality of different materials that are used in it as well as inspecting and correcting all operations that affect its strength or consistency.
The most important part of quality control is the testing of raw materials before they are used in the preparation of concrete. This includes examining the properties of cement, fine aggregates (sand) and coarse aggregates. It also involves ensuring that the mix design will produce concrete with the desired characteristics.
Other tests that are performed on concrete during construction include slump and compaction factor tests, permeability test, water penetration test, Schmidt rebound hammer test, and chemical examination of hardened concrete. After concreting, the concrete is cured for a set period of time to allow it to obtain the desired strength. Then, it is ready for use.
