determines behavior of materials under crushing loads.
Compression test
an empirical test that measures the workability of fresh concrete. It measures the consistency of the concrete in that specific batch. The test is popular due to the simplicity of apparatus used as and simple procedure.
Concrete Slump Test

Heel Plate
diagonal rafter forming the intersection of two sloping roofs.
Valley Rafters
horizontal structural member that supports the floor system or ceiling system.
Joist
a steel column used to support girders and beams.
Lally Column
is a block of concrete supporting the floor of a building.
Pier
decorative column attached to a wall.
Plaster
long posts driven into the soil in swampy locations upon which the foundation footing is laid.
Piles
the internal angle formed by two slopes of a roof
Valley
horizontal structure.
Purlins
top edge of the roof where the rafters meet.

The structural members of a building are constructed using a _________
Concrete
a result of mixing cement, fine and coarse aggregates and water.
Plain concrete
If there is a reinforcement embedded in order that they act together in resisting forces it is called a __________________
Reinforced Concrete
bonding agent that reacts with water to form a stone- hard substance.
Cement
____________ introduced Portland cement in 1824.
Joseph Aydin
categorized as to its type, whether for general construction or where high early strength or resistance is required,
Portland Cement
amorphous silica that hardens as silica gel by reacting chemically with alkali in water.
Pozzolana Cement
Where does Pozzolona Cement first found?
Pozzolona, Italy
2 types of cement
Hydraulic cement and the Portland cement.
satisfactory for concrete mixing.
Water suitable for drinking
a material other than cement that is used as ingredient in concrete, before or during mixing.
Admixture
The ability of concrete to flow freely and fill all voids
Workability
Workability is sometimes described as?
Consistency, Plasticity, and mobility
the degree or wetness or slump
Consistency
ease with which fresh concrete is molded
Plasticity
the flow or movement of the mixtures required for a particular work
Mobility
The _______ of concrete is measured in its ability to resist stresses such as compressive, tensile flexural and shearing stress.
strength
The right proportioning of the ingredients in concrete provides a balance for economy, workability, strength, durability and appearance.
Concrete Proportion
concreteproportion
Standard mixture proportion
1:2:3:0.5
1=cement
2=sand
3=gravel
0.5=water
Concrete for building construction is mixed in two different ways:
1. on the job site
2. ready mixed concrete
hand mixing/mixed by hand
on the job site
concrete made by mobile or stationary mixers
ready mixed concrete
The building code provides that concrete shall be maintained above ______ temperature for at least ____ days after placing and three days for high early strength concrete.
10 ⁰C, 7 days
The hardening of concrete depends upon the ______________
chemical reaction between the cement and water.
Concrete hardens or settles at about __________ hours after the concrete has been mixed.
