Water - Cement Ratio & Gel – Space Ratio.

Abrams' law (also called Abrams' water-cement ratio law) is a concept in civil engineering. The law states the strength of a concrete mix is inversely related to the mass ratio of water to cement. As the water content increases, the strength of concrete decreases. What is the difference between the water-cement ratio and the gel space ratio?  The gel/space ratio is the ratio of the solid products of hydration to the space available for these hydration products. ...  A higher water/cement ratio decreases the gel/space ratio increasing the porosity thereby decreases the strength of concrete. What is the maturity of concrete? Concrete maturity is an index value that represents the progression of concrete curing. It is based on an equation that takes into account concrete temperature, time, and strength gain. Concrete maturity is an accurate way to determine real-time strength values of curing concrete

hydraulic jump A  hydraulic jump  is a phenomenon in the science of  hydraulics  that is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways. When liquid at high velocity discharges into a zone of lower velocity, a rather abrupt rise occurs in the liquid surface. What causes a hydraulic jump? A  hydraulic jump  occurs when the upstream flow is supercritical (F>1). To have a  jump , there must be a flow impediment downstream. The downstream impediment could be a weir, a bridge abutment, a dam, or simply channel friction. Water depth increases during a  hydraulic jump  and energy is dissipated as turbulence. How do you calculate hydraulic jump? How do you calculate hydraulic jump? Equations for  Hydraulic Jump Calculations y2/y1 = (1/2)[-1 + (1 + 8Fr12)1/2] ; V1 = Q/(by1) ; and Fr1 = V1/(y1g)1/2. The upstream velocity, V1 and upstream Froude number, Fr1, need to be  calculated  first, using the last two equations, then the downstream depth of flow, y2 can be  calcula

  The demonstration of a hydraulic jump in rectangular open channel part- 2 !! Fluid mechanics -2 What is the hydraulic jump and its use? Industrial. The hydraulic jump is the most commonly used choice of design engineers for energy dissipation below spillways and outlets. A properly designed hydraulic jump can provide for 60-70% energy dissipation of the energy in the basin itself, limiting the damage to structures and the streambed. Types of Hydraulic Jumps – Undular Hydraulic Jump – Weak Jump – Oscillating Hydraulic Jump – Steady Hydraulic Jump – Strong Hydraulic Jump – What does Froude's number mean? The Froude number is a measurement of bulk flow characteristics such as waves, sand bedforms, flow/depth interactions at a cross-section or between boulders. The denominator represents the speed of a small wave on the water surface relative to the speed of the water, called wave celerity. What is the length of a hydraulic jump? In civil engineering, the hydraulic jump is us
