Aggregates are materials like sand, crushed stone, and gravel that are used for making concrete, mortar, and asphalt. They account for nearly 60% to 75% of ready-mix concrete’s volume. Aggregates increase the strength of concrete, make the mix compact, and allow heat retention and weatherproofing capabilities. #physicalcommodities #cement #concrete #construction #highquality

Lean concrete is a type of concrete that has a low cement content relative to the aggregate (sand, gravel, or crushed stone) and water. It is typically used as a sub-base or foundation layer for structures such as roads, pavements, and buildings. Its primary function is to provide a level and stable base for other structural components, not to bear heavy loads directly. Mix Ratio A typical lean concrete mix might have a cement content of 150 kg/m³ to 200 kg/m³, compared to 300-400 kg/m³ in standard concrete. Ratios such as 1:4:8 (cement:sand:aggregate) are common.

Cement plays a crucial role in construction both as mortar for bonding materials and as concrete for creating strong, load-bearing structures. Cement as Mortar: Mixed with sand and water, cement forms mortar, which acts as an adhesive to bond bricks and stones in construction. Cement as Concrete: Combined with sand, gravel, and water, cement creates concrete, a strong, durable material used for structural components like foundations and slabs. #construction #cement #constructionmaterial #houseconstruction #housedesign #constructionmaterials #shapewithease #houseconstructionmaterial

Porous concrete, also known as pervious concrete, is a special type of concrete designed to allow water and air to pass through its structure. It is made with coarse aggregate, cement, and water, but typically contains little or no fine aggregate (such as sand). This unique composition creates a network of interconnected voids that make the material highly permeable. #eng_shad #porous_concrete

Did you know that metal roofs are significantly lighter than other types of roofing materials? They weigh less than one-third of the weight of asphalt shingles and as much as 75 percent lighter than clay, concrete, and slate.
