Tarantula Curve - Introduction | How to Design Aggregate for Concrete Mixtures

[@monjurullah3939]

Sir you are one of my favorite u tuber.... I learnt a lot by watching you video........😁😁

Awesome video Tyler! I'm going to be applying this knowledge on my structures. There have been lots of studies showing that you CAN use wood ash as a replacement for fly ash and this study "Influence of Wood Fly Ash on Concrete Properties through Filling Effect Mechanism" said the following: "Subsequently, workability, heat of hydration, stiffness development, 28-day compressive strength, apparent porosity, and capillary absorption were determined on concrete mixes prepared with WFA as cement replacement from 5-45% by weight. Cement replacement up to 15% with the finest WFA accelerated hydration, stiffness development, and increased compressive strength of concrete up to 18%, while replacement with coarser WFA’s led to a decrease in compressive strength of up to 5% and had more gradual heat liberation. The dominant effect that could explain these findings is attributed to the filler and filling effect mechanisms. At the same time replacement content of up to 45% had very little effect on capillary absorption and could give concrete with sufficiently high compressive strength to be suitable for construction purposes.' I have yet to see a video on how you make your own (DIY) fly ash wood substitute. Any way to make a video on how to do this?

Myself as well. After 40 years in the industry I have never heard of this curve until you enlightened me.

Thanks Errol!

I dealt with concrete for many years, but never heard of the "tarantula curve". Knew about the different types of aggregates ; the basic mix in Oz is around 20mm aggregate. Once again an excellent video.

Thank you so much!!!

I watched this video five times..its very helpful, I liked the topic... thank you again

[@TylerLey]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the comment.

I love your videos. Im always waiting for your new videos.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Ali!

[@aqabajordan5356]

Thank you for the sharing .. very important subject

[@TylerLey]

I am glad you like it!!! Thanks for the comment.

[@arvindk451]

Sensei, the video is 👌

[@TylerLey]

Thank you and thank you for the suggestion to make it. I really appreciate it.

[@bigonprivacy2708]

Another question is are you still feeling good on the T.C and if so, have you ever looked at it in a "rammed earth" model?

[@elbuggo]

Do we have a Metric Tarantula Curve somewhere? These Freedom Measurements are slightly too exotic, me thinks.

Good one...!!

Thanks!
