Concrete Compaction

Concrete compaction ensures the strength and durability of concrete

Anyone who works with concrete knows the importance of proper concrete compaction. Concrete is one of the most important building materials and is characterized by a variety of uses .Concrete is not only used in professional environments such as road construction, building construction and civil engineering .Do-it-yourselfers also often resort to the building material made of cement, sand, gravel and water. However, the work is by no means done with building a formwork and ordering the concrete mixer. The extreme durability for which concrete is widely appreciated in construction requires excellent concrete compaction. In concrete terms, this means that after the liquid concrete hasbeen delivered and poured into theformwork , it must befreed from air pockets ,for example, with the aid of avibratoror aninternal or external vibrator .Concrete compactionwith the aid of the concretevibrator allows the air trapped in the mass to escape . Air pockets that are initially still small could otherwise develop into large pores when the concrete has hardened without adequate concrete compaction. As a consequence, the material might not be as resistant as necessary. Therefore, in order to achieve adequate concrete density and concrete strength, it is essential to implement concrete compaction measures using a suitable vibrator. Concrete compactionmaximizes its resistance to pressure and reduces its water permeability.

Internal vibrators, external vibrators, vibrating screeds and smoothing machines - everything for concrete compaction

Among the concrete vibrators used for compaction, as already mentioned, are the so-called internal vibratorsor bottle vibrators. The vibration of the internal vibrator allows the air trapped in the concrete to escape. For this purpose, the internal vibrator is immersed vertically to the maximum into the concrete after it has been poured into theformwork and slowly pulled out again. The procedure just described is then repeated at an appropriate distance from the first immersion point. Internal vibrators thus help to ensure that the concrete has the necessary strength and frost resistance after compaction and curing .

Inaddition to the internal vibratorsalready described , there are also so-called externalvibrators, which are not immersed in the concrete, but are attached to the outside of the formwork and thus transmit vibrations via the formwork to the concrete in order to compact it.

After the compaction of the mass placed in the formworkhas been completed with the aid of the concretevibrator , one of the last steps in the production of a concrete floor is the smoothing of the surface. This operation is less important for the stability of the building material than compacting the concrete. However, in order to achieve a flawless surface, a smoothing machine isparticularly useful for finishing large areas.

Vibratory screeds are used to pull off and compact the area of concrete previously poured into theformwork to the desired height .
