Concrete batching. Concrete is the most man-made product in the world. Despite its prevalence, plastic concrete remains highly unpredictable, with seemingly innumerable factors impacting its performance: climate, geography of source materials, water, admixture, aggregate/sand quality, to name a few.

What is Prestressed Concrete? Concrete can withstand a great amount of compressive stress but it has a very low tensile strength. Because of low tensile strength, concrete gets cracks when subjected to maximum load. Why prestressed concrete is used? When water comes in contact with these cracks the steel gets corroded.

Steel Fibres are generally distributed throughout a given cross section whereas reinforcing bars or wires are placed only where required 2. Steel fibres are relatively short and closely spaced as compared with countinuous reinforcing bars of wires.

These mixes of fixed cement-aggregate ratio which ensures adequate strength are termed nominal mixes.
