    Types of concrete include normal concrete as well as special varieties like high strength, self-compacting, lightweight, fiber reinforced, polymer, and colored concrete. Concrete is made up of constituents like cement, water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. Special types of concrete have properties like high volume fly ash, silica fume, GGBS slag, ternary blends, and are used for their advantages as well as disadvantages. Ready mix concrete is a versatile building material that provides consistent quality when delivered to construction sites.

    TYPES OF CONCRETE

    CONCRETE
    Concrete is one of the most commonly used building materials.
    Concrete is a composite material made from several readily available constituents
    (aggregates, sand, cement, water).
    Concrete is a versatile material that can easily be mixed to meet a variety of special
    needs and formed to virtually any shape.
    Concrete is most vital material in modern construction.
    In addition to normal concrete, other varieties in use are, high strength and high
    performance concrete, self compacting, light weight, high density, fibre reinforced,
    polymer, coloured concrete etc.
    The making of concrete is an art as well as a science.

    11. Water-proof Concrete.
    12. Temperature Controlled Concrete.
    By-product of the iron manufacturing
    industry, replacement of Portland cement
    with GGBS will lead to significant reduction
    of carbon dioxide gas emission.
    GGBS powder is almost white in colour in
    the dry state Fresh GGBS concrete may
    GGBS, show mottled green or bluish-green areas
    on the surface mainly due to the presence
    Slag based of a small amount of sulphide.
    GGBS concrete requires longer setting times
    concrete than Portland cement concrete, probably
    due to the smooth and glassy particle forms
    of GGBS. If the temperature is 23oC or
    replacement level of portland cement by
    GGBS is less than 30% , the setting times
    will not significantly be affected.

    Ternary Ternary concrete mixtures include three different cementitious


    materials i.e. combinations of portland cement, slag cement, and a
    blend third cementitious material. The third component is often fly ash, but
    silica fume is also common.
    concrete Other material in combination with portland and slag cement, such
    as rice husk ash are not currently in common usage.
    Slag cement has been used in ternary mixtures for decades.

    Ready Mix Concrete
    Ready mix concrete is concrete whose components are
    proportioned away from the construction site for delivery to the
    construction site by the truck in a ready-to-use-condition.

    Rapid hardening cement
    Rapid Hardening Portland Cement (RHPC) is a special purpose cement
    used in concrete to achieve a higher rate of early strength development,
    compared to using Normal Cement. The improved early performance of
    RHPC is achieved principally through increased product fineness.
    Rapid hardening cement is similar to Ordinary Portland cement but with
    higher tri-calcium silicate (C3S) content and finer grinding. It gains
    strength more quickly than OPC, though the final strength is only slightly
    higher. This type of cement is also called as High-Early Strength Portland
    Cement. The one-day strength of this cement is equal to the three-day
    strength of OPC with the same water-cement ratio.
    Applications
    Typical applications of RHPC include :
    precast concrete production
    concrete masonry
    urgent repair work
    coldweather concreting
    Advantages and uses of the rapid
    hardening portland cement:
    Following are theadvantages and uses of the rapid hardening
    portland cement:

    (a) It is used where formwork has to be removed as early as possible


    in order to reuse it.

    (b) It is used where high early strength is required.

    (c) It is generally used for constructing road pavements, where it is


    important to open the road to traffic quickly.

    (d) It is used in industries which manufacture concrete products like


    slabs, posts, electric poles, block fence, etc. because moulds can be
    released quickly.

    (e) It is used for cold weather concreting because rapid evolution of


    heat during hydration protects the concrete against freezing.
