Types of Concrete 2

Plain concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates and is the most common and widely used type. Reinforced concrete contains steel bars to increase strength and is used in structures requiring high strength. High-strength concrete has increased strength and durability for tall buildings and bridges. Lightweight concrete uses lightweight aggregates, making it lighter. Shotcrete is sprayed onto surfaces to reinforce walls and foundations. Precast concrete is cast off-site and transported for use in walls, columns, and other structures.

Types of Concrete
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND TESTING

Overview
What is concrete? Concrete is a composite construction material composed of cement,
aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate made from gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or
granite, plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water, and chemical admixtures. It is widely used for
making structural components such as foundations, walls, beams, and slabs.

Different Types of Concrete

Plain concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates. It is


used in the construction of buildings, pavements, roads, bridges,
Plain Concrete: etc. It is the most common type of concrete and the most widely
used.

Reinforced concrete is a concrete mix that is reinforced with


steel bars or other materials. It is used in the construction of tall
Reinforced Concrete: buildings, bridges, and other structures that require a high
degree of strength.

High-strength concrete is a type of concrete with increased


High-Strength
strength and durability. It is used in the construction of tall
Concrete: structures, bridges, and buildings.

Lightweight concrete is a type of concrete that is made with


Lightweight Concrete: lightweight aggregates. This type of concrete is used in the
construction of structures that need to be lighter in weight.

Shotcrete is a type of concrete that is sprayed onto a surface. It is


Shotcrete Concrete: used to reinforce walls, foundations, and roofing.

Precast concrete is a type of concrete that is cast in a factory and


Precast Concrete: then transported to the site. It is used in the construction of
walls, columns, and other structures.
