    Study Notes

    Concrete Composition

    • Concrete is a material that consists of cement, sand, and water.

    Concrete Materials

    • The materials used to make concrete are cement, sand, and water.

    Reinforced Concrete

    • The purpose of reinforcement in reinforced concrete is to add strength and durability.

    Aggregates

    • Aggregates in construction are inert materials that are mixed with cement to form concrete.
    • Aggregates can be classified into two types: fine aggregate and coarse aggregate.

    Aggregate Types

    • Fine aggregate is a type of aggregate that is smaller in size, typically consisting of sand or crushed stone.
    • Coarse aggregate is a type of aggregate that is larger in size, typically consisting of gravel or crushed rock.

    Rebars

    • Rebars are commonly made of carbon steel.
    • Carbon steel bars used in construction are usually referred to as "mild steel bars".
    • The primary purpose of rebars in construction is to provide additional strength and support to concrete structures.
