ASTM C138 - ACI Density, Yield, and Air Content of Concrete
Yield is used to determine if the concrete supplier has delivered the amount of concrete ordered. For example, if the contractor orders 7 yards and the concrete pour comes short of filling the structure, a yield test can be performed to determine if 7 yards were actually delivered. To calculate yield, follow these simple steps.
Portland Cement - Lehigh Hanson, Inc.
Cement is an ingredient of concrete. It's the fine grey powder that, when mixed with water, sand and gravel or crushed stone, forms the rock-like mass known as concrete. Cement typically accounts for 10% to 12% of the concrete mixture. Cement acts as the binding agent or glue in concrete. When combined with water, cement forms a paste that ...
