La consolidation consiste à compacter le béton frais dans les coffrages, autour des éléments noyés et des armatures de façon à éliminer les nids de cailloux et d'abeilles et l'air emprisonné. Elle ne doit pas faire sortir de quantités importantes d'air entraîné intentionnellement dans le béton. [...] La vibration, interne ou externe, est la méthode la plus couramment employée pour consolider du béton. Lorsqu'on vibre du béton, on supprime temporairement les frottements internes entre les granulats; le béton se comporte alors comme un liquide, se tassant dans les coffrages sous l'action de la gravité, et les grosses bulles d'air emprisonnées montent plus facilement à la surface. Le frottement interne est rétabli dès que cesse la vibration. 3, record 5, French, - compact%C3%A9

Nous avons vu en formation de la maille avec l'aiguille à bec que le cueillage déterminait la longueur de la boucle et par cela même la serre. Sur l'aiguille à clapet, c'est la profondeur de descente de l'aiguille qui détermine la serre. Il n'y a pas d'unité particulière pour mesurer la serre, celle-ci se donne en nombre de mailles au centimètre, au pouce, aux deux centimètres, etc. [...] Il suffit de spécifier la longueur choisie, la mesure sera d'autant plus précise que la longueur choisie sera grande.
