A structural engineer can design an exceptionally durable concrete mix on paper, incorporating precise water-cement ratios, blended cementitious materials and optimized aggregate gradations. However, concrete durability is ultimately decided on the construction site.
Issue-77, August-2026
Concrete is generally considered one of the most durable construction materials. A well designed and properly executed concrete structure can remain functional for several decades with limited maintenance. However, concrete is not automatically durable simply because it has a high compressive strength.

Monsoon season concrete construction has its own set of engineering challenges that require careful planning, stringent quality control and agile construction techniques. Although rainfall generally increases ambient humidity and reduces evaporation, rapid downpours, changing temperatures, high wind speeds and changing aggregate moisture content can have an appreciable effect on the quality, strength and durability of fresh concrete.
Issue-75, June-2026
Concrete is the world’s most widely used construction material due to its versatility, durability and cost-effectiveness. Although concrete has a good compressive strength and long service life, it is still that it may crack especially in the early stage of hardening. Early age cracking refers to cracks that develop from the time of placement to approximately 28 days after casting.

Hot weather concreting is the process of manufacturing, transporting, placing, finishing and curing concrete under conditions that are harmful to the quality and performance of concrete. As per guidelines of American Concrete Institute (ACI 305R) and Indian Standard IS 7861 (Part 1), hot weather conditions are usually defined by high ambient temperature, high concrete temperature, low relative humidity, high wind velocity and high solar radiation.
