The document discusses various terms related to concrete, including: - Cement is a powder that enables concrete to set and become solid when mixed with water. - Concrete is a cement-based material made from cement, fine aggregate (sand), and coarse aggregate (gravel), which provides structural strength. - Mix designs specify the proportions of ingredients like cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. - Additives and water-cement ratios affect the properties of wet concrete. - Reinforced concrete includes reinforcing bars to increase tensile strength. Formwork is used to hold wet concrete until it sets.
