Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of learning. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence. Piaget's stages are: Sensorimotor stage: Birth to 2 years. Preoperational stage: Ages 2 to 7.

Water to cement ratio is one the largest single factor on which strength of compacted concrete depends. Cured concrete strength depends on the two main factors i.e. Water to cement ratio. Degree of compaction. Air voids in concrete depends on the water to cement ratio. There is an increase in air voids with the increase in weight of …
The positive correlation between cement and strength is primarily attributed to the fact that the hydration product of cement, C-S-H gel, not only serves as the main crystalline component in concrete for providing strength but also functions as a highly dense C-S-H gel capable of filling micropores and capillaries within concrete, thereby ...

This is because the position parameter of a cement sample lies in the range of 15–32 µm which is the determinant particle size range for strength development [10]. According to Frigione and Marra's study [12] there was no linear relationship between strength of cement mortar and (n) value in RRSB plotting.

Taking the graph below as an example: if the reference is a datum temperature of 32°F (0°C), in the period between hour 50 to hour 100, the concrete did not develop any strength. However, if the datum temperature is calculated to be 14°F (-10°C), the concrete stood gaining strength throughout the entire period.
It is seen in Table 6 that the % increase in strength is nearly twice the % increase in fineness for cements having fineness up to 2000 cm 2 /kg. For cements having a fineness greater than 2000 cm ...
Reading time: 3 minutes. Compounds in cement mainly are tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetracalcium alumino ferrite. Not only do these compounds control most of cement properties but also reacts with water to produce new materials (cement hydration) and consequently responsible for concrete strength.
Concrete is a building material that is most widely used because of its excellent mechanical performance and durability. Compressive strength is an essential property of concrete, which …
Compressive strength of concrete is one of its most important engineering properties. Designing a concrete structure requires the concrete compressive strength to be used. Characteristic strength of the concrete is designated as the compressive strength of a concrete sample that has been cured for 28 days and is determined by the

To determine the rate of gain of strength of concrete, there is a need to select period shorter than 28 day, as 28 day is considered to be the reference time. In concrete practice, it is accepted that after 28 days concrete usually gains most of its strength. Strength determined at an early stage say after 7th day of placing of concrete can be ...

The products of the reaction between cement and water are termed "hydration products." In concrete (or mortar or other cementitious materials) there are typically four main types: Calcium silicate hydrate: this is the main reaction product and is the main source of concrete strength. It is often abbreviated, using cement chemists' notation, to ...
The concrete made with a Class R cement reaching the required strength at 28 days has been included as a comparison. It can be seen that at 28 days the 56 day Class S concrete had a strength just under 90% of the strength of the 28 day Class S concrete. Similarly, the 90 day concrete had about 85% of the strength.
Measurement of concrete strength. Traditionally, this is done by preparing concrete cubes or prisms, then curing them for specified times. Common curing times are 2, 7, 28 and 90 days. The curing temperature is typically 20 degrees Centigrade. After reaching the required age for testing, the cubes/prisms are crushed in a large press.

The Maturity models are used to convert the time–tempera-ture curing experience of concrete into maturity properties that would be correlated with increasing concrete perfor-mance. Since the early 1950s, various development roles were predicted. Saul [16] proposed the following relation for measuring concrete maturity.
