A concrete bomb is an aerial bomb containing dense, inert material (typically concrete) instead of explosive. The target is destroyed using the kinetic...

layers as a semi-dry material then roller compacted into a dense, strong mass. Raw concrete surfaces tend to be porous and have a relatively uninteresting...

of light-gauge steel partitions. Due to increased mass, poured concrete and concrete blocks typically achieve higher STC values (in the mid STC 40s to...

make concrete mixes significantly less workable, which is particularly likely to be a problem in high-strength concrete applications where dense rebar...

In metaphysics, the distinction between abstract and concrete refers to a divide between two types of entities. Many philosophers hold that this difference...

Gypsum concrete is a building material used as a floor underlayment used in wood-frame and concrete construction for fire ratings, sound reduction, radiant...

resistance against corrosion Lighter weight (slightly less dense than traditional concrete, depending on the resin content of the mix) May be vibrated...

times less dense than metallic iron, so 6 – 7 times more voluminous) that cause the cracks in the concrete matrix and destroy reinforced concrete. In the...

rules of the competition, some competitive concrete canoes have concrete mix designs that are less dense than water. They must pass a test in which the...

upper middle class of the city's residents. The area is also known as dense Concrete Jungle. It was a Nagar Panchayat in 1970s but was later amalgamated...

cracking due to concrete expansion or movement. In some cases formwork is not necessary - for instance, a ground slab surrounded by dense soil, brick or...

In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface...

given to a large mass of corium, composed of materials formed from molten concrete, sand, steel, uranium, and zirconium. The mass formed beneath Reactor 4...

fluid mix) and viscosity-enhancing admixtures (VEA). Ordinarily, concrete is a dense, viscous material when mixed, and when used in construction, requires...

Concrete has relatively high compressive strength (resistance to breaking when squeezed), but significantly lower tensile strength (resistance to breaking...

compressive strength. Also the concrete hinge neck has no, or almost no reinforcement, but the concrete hinge heads need a dense reinforcement cache, because...

Deep foundations can be made out of timber, steel, reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete. Prefabricated piles are driven into the ground using a pile...

likely use a low-grade concrete block for interior compartments and rooms, and a high-grade dense silica particle cement-based concrete for exterior skins...
