- Air-entrained concrete
- Air-entrained concrete contains billions of microscopic air cells per cubic foot.
- Example: Example: Air entrained concrete contains microscopic air bubbles that help alleviate internal pressure.

- Architectural concrete
- Is concrete that will be permanently exposed to view and therefore requires special care in selection of the concrete materials.
- en: Concreto arquitectónico
- Asphaltic concrete
- Is a composite material consisting of asphalt binder and mineral aggregate that is mixed together then laid down in layers and compacted.
- Example: Example: The sand is being used mostly as an aggregate for cement and asphaltic concrete.
- en: Concreto asfáltico
- Cellular concrete
- Cellular concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and preformed foam.
- Example: The cellular cement is a specially engineered concrete manufactured by mixing the Portland cement, sand, fly ash, water, and pre-formed foam.

- Colored concrete
- Colored concrete, also known as decorative concrete, allows traditional grey concrete to be stained and dyed different colors.
- Example: The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily, steel bars (rebar) and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before the concrete sets.
- en: Concreto pintado
- Cured concrete
- Curing of concrete is defined as providing adequate moisture, temperature, and time to allow the concrete to achieve the desired properties for its intended use.
- Example: Concrete sets and hardens as a result of a chemical reaction between cementitious materials and water.

- Exposed concrete
- Exposed concrete refers to concrete whose surface is a visible part of the architectural and interior design of the building.
- Example: The exposed concrete range is created by removing the surface fines from the concrete resulting in the internal aggregates being expo

- Green concrete
- Green concrete is defined as a concrete which uses waste material as at least one of its components.
- Example: Example: Green concrete uses ingredients that don't harm the environment.

- Insulating concrete
- insulating concrete forms create a structural concrete wall, either monolithic or post and beam, that is up to ten times stronger than wood framed structures.
- en: concreto aislante
- Porous concrete
- Porous concrete consists of a mix including Portland cement, uniform open-graded coarse aggregate, and water.
- Example: Pervious concrete means a type of permeable pavement made with a rigid pavement similar to conventional concrete.
- en: hormigón poroso
- Precast concrete
- Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold
- Example: The precast concrete double-wall panel has been in use in Europe for decades.
- en: Concreto prefabricado
- Prestressed concrete
- Pre-stressed concrete is a form of concrete where initial compression is given in the concrete before applying the external load
- Example: prestressed concrete has developed beyond pre-tensioning to include post-tensioning.
- en: Concreto pretensado
- Reinforced concrete
- concrete in which steel is embedded in such a manner that the two materials act together in resisting forces.
- Example: The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily, steel bars (rebar) and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before the concrete sets.
- en: Concreto reforzado
- Unreinforced concrete
- Concrete without some other specific admixture or element, in contrast with concrete containing such an admixture or element.
- Example: Unreinforced concrete without reinforcement or reinforced only for shrinkage or temperature changes.
- en: Concreto no armado
