CONCRETE CREEP

The Constructor

Following are the cases, which affect creep in concrete: When the aggregate volume is increased, creep will be less as the aggregate is more rigid than the cement paste. Water within the hardened cement paste is forced to more as a result of the applied load.

How to set up windows in concrete wall

Construction Cost Estimating

If the function of specific spaces is changed or lights are necessary in garages or basements, the windows should be installed in concrete wall. Prior to form opening, verify that the wall apart from opening is sufficient to sustain the load delivering to the structure. Sometimes, L-shaped steel beam may be applied as a lintel.
