  2. Water–cement ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–cement_ratio

    The water–cement ratio (w/c ratio, or water-to-cement ratio, sometimes also called the Water-Cement Factor, f) is the ratio of the mass of water (w) to the mass of cement (c) used in a concrete mix: The typical values of this ratio f = w⁄c are generally comprised in the interval 0.40 and 0.60. The water-cement ratio of the fresh concrete ...

  3. Abrams' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrams'_law

    Abrams' law (also called Abrams' water-cement ratio law) [1] is a concept in civil engineering. The law states the strength of a concrete mix is inversely related to the mass ratio of water to cement. [1][2] As the water content increases, the strength of concrete decreases. Abrams’ law is a special case of a general rule formulated ...

  4. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Reactive powder concrete, also known as ultra-high-performance concrete, can be even stronger, with strengths of up to 800 MPa (116,000 PSI). [4] These are made by eliminating large aggregate completely, carefully controlling the size of the fine aggregates to ensure the best possible packing, and incorporating steel fibers (sometimes produced ...

  5. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    A single concrete block, as used for construction. Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [1] and is the most widely used building material. [2] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that ...

  6. Portland cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cement

    Decorative use of portland cement panels on London's Grosvenor estate [16] The most common use for portland cement is in the production of concrete. [17] Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened ...

  7. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    Cement. Cement powder in a bag, ready to be mixed with aggregates and water. [1] A cement is a binder, a chemical substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together.

  8. Ready-mix concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-mix_concrete

    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]

  9. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Regular concrete is the lay term for concrete that is produced by following the mixing instructions that are commonly published on packets of cement, typically using sand or other common material as the aggregate, and often mixed in improvised containers. The ingredients in any particular mix depends on the nature of the application.
