Concreting is an important task in building any structure outside the house like driveways, retaining walls, slabs, planters etc. The material is made up by mixing cement and different aggregates such as sand, gravel and shale with water that allows mixture to harden. This comes with a wide range of designs. It has many options such as texture, colour and style.
The first requirement for a good concrete is an excellent cement followed by supply of appropriate level of sand, coarse aggregate, and water; all of which must be properly weighed and measured. Everything else being equal, the combination with the best graded, strongest, best shaped, and cleanest aggregate can build the strongest and most durable concrete.
Types of concreting
Plain Concrete
These are basically used in sidewalks and driveways and also to the floor where heavy loads are not foreseen
Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete steel is embedded in such a way that the two materials act along in resisting forces. The reinforcing steel (rods, bars, or mesh) absorbs the tensile, shear, and generally the compressive stresses in a very concrete structure
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is basically used in patterned, textured or it is embossed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and numerous different patterns and textures. sealed concrete is usually used for patios, sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, and interior flooring.
