2. Asphalt concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt_concrete

   Asphalt batch mix plant A machine laying asphalt concrete, fed from a dump truck. Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt, [1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams.

3. High-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_fiber...

   A less dense, and hence lighter material means that HPFRCCs could eventually require much less energy to produce and handle, deeming them a more economical building material. Because of HPFRCCs’ lightweight composition and ability to strain harden, it has been proposed that they could eventually become a more durable and efficient alternative ...

4. Pozzolan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozzolan

   A reduction of 40 percent of Portland cement in the concrete mix is usually feasible when replaced with a combination of pozzolanic materials. Pozzolans can be used to control setting, increase durability, reduce cost and reduce pollution without significantly reducing the final compressive strength or other performance characteristics.

5. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

   Filler materials are particles added to binders (resin, thermoplastics, cement) to make a composite material. Filler materials improve specific properties or make the product cheaper. [1] Coarse filler materials such as construction aggregate and rebar are used in the building industry to make plaster, mortar and concrete.

6. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

   Reinforced concrete, also called ferroconcrete, is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.

7. Controlled low strength material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_low_strength...

   CLSM consists of a mixture of Portland cement, water, aggregate and sometimes fly ash.Unlike ordinary concrete, CLSM has much lower strength. The strength of CLSM is less than 1,200 pounds per square inch (8.3 MPa), while ordinary concrete has strengths exceeding 3,000 pounds per square inch (21 MPa) [citation needed].

8. Self-healing concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_concrete

   [1] [2] Therefore, it is essential to limit the crack's width and repair it as quickly as feasible. Self-healing concrete would not only make the material more sustainable, but it would also contribute to an increase in the service life of concrete structures and make the material more durable and environmentally friendly. [3] [4]

9. Expanded polystyrene concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polystyrene_concrete

   It is a popular material for use in environmentally "green" homes. It has been used as road bedding, in soil or geo-stabilization projects and as sub-grading for railroad trackage. [1] Before 1980, EPS as the aggregate of concrete has been studied in detail. [2]
