Engineer's Bread Part 1 - Structural Behaviour (13)

What do concrete and bread have in common? Yes it is another concrete episode but don't dismiss it just yet! This time we delve into the wonderful and complex world of concrete chemistry and material science.

Much like bread, the various constituent materials in concrete each play a crucial role in achieving desired strength, durability, and workability. The curing (baking) of concrete also requires careful consideration of temperature and available water to ensure complete hydration of cement. What is hydration of cement? Why is it important and how does it relate to concrete strength? Find out in this episode!
