High-Performance Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Shotcrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Lightweight Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Smart Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Air-Entrained Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC)

StarStarStarStar

This dry mix is compacted by rollers to produce a strong, dense surface and used mainly for constructing roads and dams because of its cost effectiveness and strength.

StarStarStarStar

High-Strength Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC)

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Permeable Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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.

StarStarStarStar

Colored Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Standard Ready-Mix Concrete

StarStarStarStar

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