Across
- 1. Type of strength that concrete is primarily designed to resist
- 5. High range water reducing admixture,significantly increasing flowability
- 8. A horizontal structural element designed to support loads over a span
- 9. Very fine byproduct used as a pozzolan to greatly increase concrete strength and reduce permeability
- 10. A common supplementary cementitous material(SCM)
- 11. General term for reducing the volume of fresh concrete typically by vibration to eliminate air voids
- 12. The chemical reaction between cement and water
Down
- 2. Separation of concrete components during handling
- 3. Ability of concrete to resist weathering and chemical attack
- 4. Reaction of CO2 with calcium hydroxide,reducing concrete’s alkalinity
- 6. Volume reduction as concrete loses moisture after setting
- 7. Measure of how easily liquids can pass through hardened concrete
