Combination of Portland cement, water, and aggregates (sand, gravel, or crushed stone). Commonly used for sidewalks, driveways, and floors.

Includes a higher proportion of Portland cement and a lower water-to-cement ratio, which can be further enhanced with admixtures, silica fume, or slag cement. Used for high-rise buildings, bridges, and other structures requiring high compressive strength.

Designed for durability, high strength, and to meet specific demands like resistance to chemicals, water, and temperature. Composition varies but often includes admixtures like superplasticizers and silica fume. It's used in complex structures and harsh environments.

Uses lightweight aggregates such as expanded clay, slate or shale instead of traditional gravel. Has lower densities and is used for reducing the load in structures, insulation, and long span bridge decks.

Contains tiny air bubbles created by adding air-entraining agents to the mix. This reduces damage from freeze-thaw cycles, making it ideal for outdoor use in colder climates, like roads and bridges.

Flowable concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It is made with high-range water reducers and viscosity modifying agents, making it suitable for complex forms and congested reinforcement.

Contains fibrous materials which can be steel, glass, or synthetic fibers. Improves durability and flexural strength. Frequently used for pavement, overlays, and explosive-resistant structures.

Incorporates pigments, usually in powder or liquid form, to produce colorful finishes for architectural applications, decorative flooring, and colored pavements.

Contains a network of voids to allow water to percolate through the surface, effectively managing stormwater. Made with little to no fine aggregates, it is used in pavements and areas prone to flooding.

Concrete conveyed through a hose and pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface. It's often reinforced by conventional steel rods, steel mesh, or fibers. Used for slope stabilization, tunnel linings, and swimming pools.

Incorporates sensors or fibers that can detect stress or cracks within the structure. It's a developing technology used for monitoring the health of the infrastructure and alerting for needed maintenance.
