Do you really use ice to make concrete? This ice concrete is commonly used for constructions in very hot countries and for constructions with a large area and considerable height, for example, piles, pile caps (with a large height) and thick slabs etc. (trasfer plates). In addition, if the grade of the concrete does not come or the target strength after 30 days of placing the concrete is very high (>40N/m), ice concrete is used. In general, the substance called concrete is formed by adding cement, sand, black stone and water. The reaction between cement and water is the main factor for the strength of concrete. This reaction is known as curing or curing process. Some time passes and some heat is released.If the strength of the concrete is to reach the targeted level or to reach the concrete grade, the main requirements are that this curing process takes place over a certain period of time and under relevant conditions. This process preferably takes place at a temperature between 50°...

The temperature of the air inside rises with the heat. Then the water evaporates from the soil and plants inside it. Here this water vapor condenses on the surface of the walls of the terrarium and is ad...
