Air-entrained concrete
noun
Air-entrained concrete contains billions of microscopic air cells per cubic foot. These air pockets relieve internal pressure on the concrete by providing tiny chambers for water to expand into when it freezes. air_entrainedAir-entrained concrete is produced using air-entraining portland cement, or by the introduction of air-entraining agents, under careful engineering supervision, as the concrete is mixed on the job. The amount of entrained air is usually between four and seven percent of the volume of the concrete, but may be varied as required by special conditions.
Example: Air-entrained concrete contains billions of microscopic air cells per cubic foot. These air pockets relieve internal pressure on the concrete by providing tiny chambers for water to expand into when it freezes.

Architectural concrete
noun
Architectural concrete is concrete that will be permanently exposed to view and therefore requires special care in selection of the concrete materials, forming, placing, and finishing to obtain the desired architectural appearance.

Asphaltic concrete
noun
Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt,[1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac, bitumen macadam, or rolled asphalt in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams.[2] Asphalt mixtures have been used in pavement construction since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Example: sphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt,[1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac, bitumen macadam

Cellular concrete
noun
Cellular concrete is a special engineered concrete manufactured by mixing Portland cement, sand, fly ash, water and pre-formed foam in varied proportions to form a hardened material having an oven-dry density of 50 pounds per cubic foot (PCF) or less.
Example: Cellular concrete is a special engineered concrete manufactured by mixing Portland cement

Colored concrete
noun
What Is Colored Concrete? Colored concrete, also known as decorative concrete, allows traditional grey concrete to be stained and dyed different colors. Concrete has been colored as far back as the early 1900s and was primarily used by companies who made precast structures for building facades.
Example: Colored concrete, also known as decorative concrete, allows traditional grey concrete to be stained and dyed

Cured concrete
noun
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: the officers cured the concrete yesterday
en: concreto curado
Exposed concrete
noun
Exposed concrete refers to concrete whose surface is a visible part of the architectural and interior design of the building. Strictly speaking, this refers to concrete surfaces that were in contact with the formwork shell when they were produced.
Example: Exposed concrete refers to concrete whose surface is a visible part of the architectural and interior design of the building.

Green concrete
adjetive
Green concrete is defined as a concrete which uses waste material as at least one of its components, or its production process does not lead to environmental destruction, or it has high performance and life cycle sustainability.
Example: "Green concrete" refers to fresh concrete that is uncured or isn't strong yet. It comes from the term "green lumber."

Insulating concrete
noun
Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs.
Example: Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork

Prestressed concrete
noun
Prestressed concrete is a system devised to provide sufficient precompression in the concrete beam by tensioned steel wires, cables, or rods that under working conditions the concrete has no tensile stresses or the tensile stresses are so low that no visible cracking occurs.
Example: Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service

Reinforced concrete
noun
concrete in which wire mesh or steel bars are embedded to increase its tensile strength.
Example: Fortunately, the production process could be carried out worldwide to improve the efficiency during manufacturing process as standard modules of 36m x 36m x 5m vaulted steel frames (roof), 9m x 9m REINFORCED CONCRETE frames, with standard 1m-grid waffle floor were employed in most part of the PTB.

Unreinforced concrete
noun
1. Concrete without reinforcement or reinforced only for shrinkage or temperature changes.
Example: Theoretical design of unreinforced concrete beam with both ACI and Eurocode approaches for tensile strength calculation.
