Permeability of concrete

If concrete is impervious, or in other words, its permeability is not high then acidic agents and corrosive agents cannot infiltrate and attack it. Concrete usually has two varieties of pores, which establish extend of permeability. These are known as capillary pores (with a width ranging between 0.01 to 10 micron) in the cement, paste […]

Load on Piles

Piles can be managed in various ways with the goal that they can bolster load forced on them. Vertical piles can be intended to convey vertical loads and in addition horizontal loads. In the event that required, vertical piles can be consolidated with raking piles to bolster horizontal and vertical strengths. Regularly, if a pile […]
