Concrete is a solid construction material product of the mixture of some elements like cement, water, sand and stones. Is a very strong material and one of the most employed in buildings. Concrete can be poured into forms while liquid to produce a great variety of structural elements.
There are diferents kinds of concrete, such as: Reinforced concrete
Was developed to add the tensile strength of steel to the compressive strength of mass concrete.
Precast-concrete construction
Employs bricks, slabs, and supports made under optimal factory conditios to increase waterproofing and solidity, to decrease time and cost in erection, and to reduce expansion and contractions.
Prestressed concrete
Provies bearing members into wich reinforcement is set under tension to produce a live force to resist a particular load. Since the member acts like a spring, it can carry a grater load than an unstressed member of the same size.
