| | Musique concrète - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Musique concrète (French; literally, "concrete music"), is the name given to a class of electronic music produced from editing together fragments of natural and industrial sounds. | | | After the 1950s, Concrète was somewhat displaced by other forms of electronic composition, although its influence can be seen in popular music by many bands, including The Beatles, in their song Revolution 9, and Pink Floyd (notably the finale of the song "Bike"). | | | It is the opposite of traditional composing (known to some as Musique Abstraite, literally, Abstract Music) as the sounds are recorded first then built into a tune as opposed to a tune being written then given to players to turn into sound. |

| | Once the concrete has been placed for a particular structure, there is a nondestructive test which can be performed to estimate the strength of the concrete. | | | Compressive strength, f'c, refers to what concrete is capable of resisting from loads when they are pushing on the concrete (compression). | | | Engineering design is based on concrete's compressive strength. |

| | The reason that contractors put joints in concrete pavements and floors is to allow the concrete to crack in a neat, straight line at the joint when the volume of the concrete changes due to shrinkage. | | | Conventional concrete has strengths of 7,000 psi or less; concrete with strengths between 7,000 and 14,500 psi is considered high-strength concrete. | | | Cement comprises from 10 to 15 percent of the concrete mix, by volume. |

| | While the cement and concrete industries can help reduce some of our solid waste problems (burning hazardous waste as cement kiln fuel and using fly ash in concrete mixtures, for example), one cannot overlook the fact that concrete is the largest and most visible component of construction and demolition (CandD) waste. | | | In fact, using crushed concrete as an aggregate might be counterproductive by requiring extra cement—by far the most energy-intensive component of concrete. | | | When it is possible to use pre-cast concrete components instead of poured concrete, doing so may offer advantages in terms of waste generation. |
