2. Self-leveling concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-leveling_concrete

   Self-leveling concrete was invented in 1952 by Axel Karlsson from Sweden. The first product was a combination of wood glue, fine sand and cement with additives. [1] It was called flytspackel, which directly translates to "floating putty". The term self-leveling can be traced back to a patent applied by the company Lafarge in 1997. [2]

3. Climbing formwork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_formwork

   Climbing formwork, also known as jumpform, is a special type formwork for vertical concrete structures that rises with the building process. While relatively complicated and costly, it can be an effective solution for buildings that are either very repetitive in form (such as towers or skyscrapers) or that require a seamless wall structure ...

4. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

   Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

   Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is concrete that is manufactured in a batch plant, according to each specific job requirement, then delivered to the job site "ready to use". [1] There are two types with the first being the barrel truck or in–transit mixers. This type of truck delivers concrete in a plastic state to the site. [2]

   First the supports are built, then the pods are arranged in place, and finally the concrete is poured. This process may occur in three different approaches, however the basic method is the same in each: In situ: Formwork construction and pouring of concrete occur on site, then the slab is assembled (if required). [4]

8. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

   Concrete has similar thermal properties to masonry products, in that it has a relatively high thermal mass and is a good conductor of heat. In some special cases, the thermal properties of concrete have been employed, for example as a heatsink in nuclear power plants or a thermal buffer in industrial freezers.

9. Pavers (flooring) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavers_(flooring)

   Pavers manufactured from concrete go well with flag, brick and concrete walkways or patios. Concrete pavers may be used where winter temperatures dip below freezing. They are available in hole, x-shape, y-shape, pentagon, polygon and fan styles. An interlocking concrete paver, also known as a segmental paver, is a type of paver.
