A. Concrete mix design Cement is a key material in construction. It consists of a very fine powder. When water is added to cement, a chemical reaction occurs, and the cement begins to set - it starts to become solid. The most widely used cement-based material is concrete, which is made from cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (gravel) and water. After concrete has set, it needs time to reach its structural strength - the strength needed to perform effectively. Generally, engineers consider that this strength is reached after 28 days - a point called 28-day strength.

A. Concrete mix design Concrete mix designs, which are specified by engineers, state the proportions of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate to be used for specific structures. For example, a 1:2:4 (one-two-four) mix consists of one part cement, two parts fine aggregate and four parts coarse aggregate. For mixing precise quantities- known as batching- proportions are measured by weight. Mix designs also specify the water-cement ratio - the amount of water added relative to the amount of cement used. Excess water reduces the strength of concrete, so the quantity of water is kept to a minimum. But as drier concrete is more difficult to work with, an additive (added chemical substance) called a plasticizer is often used. This helps the concrete to flow more easily. Other additives can also be used- for example, a retarder may be added to delay setting, which gives workers more time to pour (place) the concrete.

B. Reinforced concrete

B. Reinforced concrete When wet concrete is cast (placed) in its final position, it is called in-situ concrete. Instead of being cast in-situ, reinforced concrete elements can also be precast- cast at a factory - then delivered to the construction site ready for assembly. Sometimes, precast concrete is also prestressed. With prestressing, tension is applied to the reinforcing bars, by machine, usually before the concrete is poured. The bars are then held in tension while wet concrete is poured around them. After the concrete has fully set, the bars become 'trapped' in tension. This increases the concrete's ability to resist bending forces.
