Understanding Energetically Modified Cement

According to Wikipedia, Energetically Modified Cement (EMC) is a class of cement produced by mechanically processing cementitious materials using a high energy milling process that increases their chemical reactivity The result is a binder that can improve concrete performance while reducing the amount of traditional Portland cement required. EMC highlights how modern construction materials are evolving […]

Concrete Compression Tests

According to ASTM C39, a concrete compression test is a laboratory method used to determine the compressive strength of hardened concrete cylinders. Test results are compared to specified design strengths at defined curing ages.
