What is the Elasticity of Concrete? At low-stress levels, concrete’s elasticity remains essentially constant, but as matrix cracking occurs, it begins to decrease. Concrete has a poor coefficient of thermal extension or expansion, which means it decreases as it ages. Due to the shrinkage & strain, all concrete constructions will…
What is Non-destructive Testing? Non-invasive testing (NDT) is a process of testing, evaluating, or testing equipment, components, or conferences of suspensions, or symptom differences without compromising the performance of a component or program. In simple terms, when the tests or test is completed the object can still be used. In…
ECI Contract (Early Contractor Involvement) | ECI Procurement Early contractor involvement (ECI Contract) is a kind of construction agreement in which the main contractor is brought on board early in the project to provide design feedback. The concept permits the contractors to have a say in the scheme’s design and recommend…
What is Asphalt Pavement? Asphalt pavements can be referred to as any pavement surface in which the top layer (wearing coat) is made of Asphalt. Asphalt is basically a heterogeneous mixture formed by specific elements like aggregates, binder, and certain amounts of filler. In most cases, Bitumen is used as…
What is high friction surface treatment? High friction surface treatment is one of the surface retention methods in which very high-quality aggregates are applied to the pavement along with polymer resin binders to maintain the pavement friction for the distressed pavements. High Friction Material: In general, the materials that are…
