total bending effect at any section of a beam is called the bending moment. It is equal to
thealgebraic sum of all the moments to the right of the section (or to the left of the
448 section, whichamounts to the same thing) and is called M for short. Every bending
moment can be expressed as aforce times a distance called the arm. units are poundinches, ton-inches, kg-m, N-m, tonne-m, etc.
Bending moment
gravel, sand, slag, crushed rock or similar inert materials which form a large part of
concretes,asphalts or roads including macadam.
Aggregates
in concrete or mortar, a substance other than aggregate, cement or water added in

small quantity,normally less than 5% of the weight of the cement, to alter the properties
of the mix or the hardenedsolid. Some 80% of the concrete made in North America,
Australia, Japan and most of Europecontains an admixture, and more than half contains
air-entraining agent. Other admixtures are
450 accelerators, bonding admixtures, super plasticizers, water reducers, retarders, antifreeze,corrosion inhibitors, pore fillers and thickening agents. Shrinkage preventers,
coloring (pigments),damp-proofing, expanding, fungicidal, gas-forming, grouting and
flocculating agents also exist. Forconcretes with high cement needed to such an extent
that the admixture pays for itself without harmto the physical properties. But this saving
probably never occurs with very lean concretes.
Admixture
an admixture which hastens the hardening rate and/or initial setting time of concrete.
Calciumchloride (CaCI2) was widely used, but because it can corrode embedded steel it
is now banned inthe UK except in unreinforced concrete. Chloride-free accelerators that
451
are safe with steel are based on inorganic chemicals including formats, nitrates and
thiocyanates. Sodium carbonate (washing soda) can be used to make a flash set for
quick repairs but It weakens the concrete.
Accelerator
449
an admixture which slows up the setting rate of concrete, sometimes applied to

452 formwork so thatwhen it is stripped the cement paste which has been in contact with it
can be removed by light brushing.

piece of steel plate, usually roughly rectangular or triangular, w/c connects the members

When a heavily loaded column punches a hole through a base, the base is said to fail
by punching shear. Punching shear is prevented by thickening the base or enlarging the
455
foot of the column so that the shear stress (assumed uniform) round the perimeter of the
column does not exceed twice the allowable shear stress in concrete.

test for the stiffness of wet concrete. A conical mold is filled with concrete, well rammed,
and then carefully inverted and emptied over a flat plate. The amount by which the
concrete cone drops below the top of the mold is measured and is called the slump.
465 This test is valuable only when the aggregates are used all the time and in the same
proportions. It then gives a rough idea if the water content of the mix. This otherwise
most useful test cannot be applied to stiff concretes with slump of less than about 20
mm.
Slump Test
a structural member designed to resist loads which bend it. The bending effect at any
466 point in a beam is found by calculating the bending moment. Beams are usually of

in concrete work, a break in a structure made to allow for the drying and temperature

concrete members are pre-cast, in a works, with the tensioned wires embedded in them.
The wires are anchored either against the molds or against permanent abutments in the
ground. After hardening, the concrete is released from the mold and the wires are cut at
the anchorage. This method may give a larger loss of pre-stress than with posttensioning but is usually economical for small members and may produce better
472
concrete since it is always factory controlled. In long-line pre-stressing, used for the precasting of pre-tensioned floor slabs or beams, the casting bed may be as much as 180
m long; enabling units may be 1.2 m, and their thickness 15, 20 or 25 em. They usually
have tubular voids running down the length and occupying about 30% of the crosssection.
Pre-tensioning
concrete beams, columns, lintels, piles, and parts of walls and floors which are cast and
partlymatured on the site or in a factory before being lifted into their position in a
473 structure. Where many of the same unit are required, pre-casting may be more
economical than casting in place, may give a better surface finish, reduce shrinkage of
the concrete on the site, and make stronger concrete.
Pre cast Concrete

Visible architecture is composed of:
A plane extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction. Conceptually it has three
dimensions: length, width and depth.
Primary shapes that can be extended or rotated to generate volume whose forms are
distinct, regular and easily recognizable
One of four basic possibilities for two forms to group together. This requires that the two
forms be relatively close to each other or share a common visual trait.
Defined geometrically as a line that is divided such that the lesser portion is to the greater
as the greater is to be the whole.
One type of cues used in depth perception where in one object appears to cut off the view
of another
