Aggregate Suspension Mixture proportioning Method 1

Aggregate Suspension Mixture proportioning Method

Description This document describes the aggregate suspension mixture proportioning method. The method is suitable for normalweight concrete with workability ranging from zero-slump to self-consolidating. This method may not be suitable for mass concrete mixture proportioning. It is adapted from a method originally published by Koehler and Fowler (2007). The aggregate suspension mixture proportioning method is […]

Erosion of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures 2

Erosion of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures

Description Erosion is defined in this report as the progressive dis-integration of a solid by cavitation, abrasion, or chemicalaction. This report is concerned with: 1) cavitation ero-sion resulting from the collapse of vapor bubbles formedby pressure changes within a high-velocity water flow; 2)abrasion erosion of concrete in hydraulic structurescaused by water-transported silt, sand, gravel, ice,
