This document provides an overview of different types of concrete. It begins by defining concrete as a composite material composed mainly of water, aggregate, and cement. Concrete is then described as being widely used in architectural structures, foundations, pavements, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. The document goes on to summarize the main raw materials used in concrete and its basic composition. It also outlines several types of concrete including normal concrete, high strength concrete, high performance concrete, light weight concrete, and self compacting concrete. For each type, it provides a brief definition and notes on characteristics and applications.

2. What is concrete ?
Concrete is a composite material
composed mainly of water, aggregate,
and cement. Often, additives and
reinforcements (such as rebar) are
included in the mixture to achieve the
desired physical properties of the
finished material

3. Uses of concrete
Concrete is widely used for making architectural
structures, foundations, brick/block walls, pavements,
bridges/overpasses, highways, runways, parking
structures, dams, pools/reservoirs, pipes, footings for
gates, fences and poles and even boats
Concrete is used in large quantities almost everywhere
society has a need for infrastructure.
Concrete is used in large quantities almost everywhere mankind has a need for infrastructure.

Normal concrete
High Strength Concrete
High Performance Concrete
Light Weight Concrete
Self Compacting Concrete

7. Normal concrete
The concrete in which common ingredients i.e. aggregate,
water, cement are used is known as normal concrete.
It has a setting time of 30 - 90 minutes depending upon
moisture in atmosphere, fineness of cement etc.
The development of the strength starts after 7 days the
common strength values is 10 MPa (1450 psi) to 40 MPa (5800
psi). At about 28 days 75 - 80% of the total strength is attained.
Almost at 90 days 95% of the strength is achieved.

8. High strength concrete
Compressive strength of high strength concrete mix is usually greater
than 6,000 pounds per square inch.
High strength concrete is made by lowering the water cement (W/C)
ratio to 0.35 or lower.
Often silica fume is added to prevent the formation of free calcium
hydroxide crystals in the cement, which might reduce the strength at
the cement aggregate bond.
Low w/c ratios and the use of silica fume make concrete mixes
significantly less workable, which is particularly likely to be a
problem in high-strength concrete applications where dense rebar
cages are likely to be used.
Aggregate must be selected carefully for high strength mixes

10. Light weight concrete
The concrete which has substantially lower mass per
unit volume then the concrete made of ordinary
ingredients is called lightweight concrete. The
aggregates used are lighter in weight.
Density of light weight concrete is 240 kg/m³ (15pcf) -
1850 kg/m³ (115 pcf).
Strength of light weight concrete blocks varies from 7
MPa (1000 psi) - 40 MPa (5800 psi).
Some times Air Entrained Admixtures are also added
to it giving resistance to freezing and thawing along
with strength.

11. Application of LWC

12. Self compacting concrete
The concrete where no vibration is required. The
concrete is compacted due to its own weight
It is also called self consolidated concrete or flowing
concrete
It can be also categorized as high performance
concrete as the ingredients are the same, but in this
type of concrete workability is increased
