A brief note on concrete

            Concrete has been in use since the ancient Romans. Concrete traditionally comprises of cement, sand/ gavel aggregates and additional reinforcement particles. The choice of concrete depends entire on the application. While regular domestic construction can  make do with normal concrete, specialize/ commercial construction projects require the use of specialized concrete mixes in order to make up for the extensive strength requirements.

            Different additives gives concrete different physical properties. When mixing concrete, one has to take into account various factors in order to ensure that the resultant mixture is fit for construction purposes. The mixtures of aggregates and cement along with eater and other chemical additives, when mixed appropriately will condition it with the right physical structure when it hardens.

            The most commonly used types of concrete includes-

·         Regular concrete

·         Stamped concrete

·         High strength concrete

·         High performance concrete

·         Ultra high performance concrete

·         Self consolidating concrete

·         Vacuum concrete

·         Shotcrete

·         Limecrere

These different types of concrete have different chemical composition and physical structures, thus making them suitable for specific construction projects, depending on the requirement.
