Master the Basics of Concrete

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.
