NORMAL CONCRETE

  1. Normal Concrete


  • The concrete in which common ingredients i.e. aggregate, water, cement are used is known as normal concrete. It is also called normal weight concrete or normal strength concrete.

  • It has a setting time of 30 - 90 minutes depending upon moisture in atmosphere, fineness of cement etc.

  • The development of the strength starts after 7 days the common strength values is 10 MPa (1450 psi) to 40 MPa (5800 psi). At about 28 days 75 - 80% of the total strength is attained.

  • Almost at 90 days 95% of the strength is achieved.
