3. Component dosing
To produce concrete with precise characteristics, it is necessary to establish a composition set-up.
In general, this search goes through two phases using different methods based on the search for maximum compactness, in accordance with Caquot's theories on the granular composition of mixtures:
or graphically, using methods such as those of Faury or Dreux-Gorisse ;
or experimentally, based on the results of study tests carried out in the laboratory or under site conditions (e.g., using the LCPC method).
3.1 Water dosage
Water content is a very important factor in concrete composition. The influence of water content on concrete porosity can be seen in...
