Study Notes

Concrete is a man-made composite of natural or artificial aggregates and a binding medium.
The binding medium is typically made of cement and water.
Fresh concrete can be molded into any shape, and hardened concrete is a strong, rock-like material.
Reinforced or prestressed concrete is used for structural purposes.
Concrete is used in a variety of applications, including foundations, bridges, and roads.
Cement is a finely ground powder that reacts with water to create a binding medium.
Portland cement is the most widely used type of cement.
Portland cement is made from calcium carbonate, silica, alumina, and iron oxide.
The manufacturing process for cement involves mixing raw materials, burning them in a kiln, and grinding them into a fine powder.
Additives can be added to cement to produce special properties.
