Σύνοψη

This project has four objectives closely related to concrete technology. The first one is to
describe the main properties and characteristics of cement, aggregates and fresh
concrete.
The second objective is to describe the main factors that effect the strength of concrete
and possible ways of succeeding the maximum strength for a specific concrete mix.
The third objective is to investigate experimentally the effect of w/c ratio on the
strength of concrete.
The concrete mix used in the experimental work was grade 25 N/mm2 and different mix
designs were prepared for w/c ratios. Four cubes were prepared for each mix and cured
for 7 and 28 days.
The fourth and last objective is to discuss the experimental results and to compare
them, having in mind the every day practice in Cyprus construction industry.
