COMPACTNESS CONCRETE INFLUENCE ON ITS MECHANICAL STRENGTH. TENSILE STRENGTH STUDIES ON SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE COMPARED WITH TRADITIONAL VIBRATED CONCRETE

Eng. Ciinoiu Marian, Eng. Gramescu Ana Maria

Abstract :

Most of the structural defects of the damaged building elements are the result of faulty or absent of concrete compaction. Most often the viate quality remains in the responsibility of the worker who must find a balance between underviation and overviation of the concrete, both of them adversely affecting the durability and consequently the overall construction element. In these terms the authors aim to study the influence of compacting concrete on the mechanical performance of it by studying tensile strength in bending and splicing, on the composition of traditional viated concrete and one self–compacting concrete compostion, knowing the fact that these two mechanical properties of concrete are responsible for cracking in concrete and for the penetration of aggressive substances in concrete harm to the whole structure of reinforced concrete.
