Concrete is made by binding together particles of sand (fine aggregate) and gravel, stone or broken brick (coarse aggregate). The binding agent used is a paste of Portland cement properly mixed with water in suitable proportions.

The density of concrete and therefore many of its properties, depend upon the density of the aggregate. Therefore there is a broad division of concrete types into: a) dense concretes - composed of heavy aggregates; b) light-weight concretes - composed of light aggregates.

Concrete may be divided into two classes: mass or plain concrete and reinforced concrete (ferro-concrete). Plain or mass concrete can be used for almost all building purposes for which massive masonry or brickwork is suitable. It is practically suitable for the construction of monolithic foundation slabs and all classes of heavy erections.

Dams, dock walls and graving docks are classes of structures in which concrete is used in enormous masses. Concrete can be made on a building site or it may be used as the material for making prefabricated units in a factory. That is why there is another classification into "in-situ" (or cast-in-place) concrete and "precast" concrete.

For foundations, footings, basement walls, cellar bottoms and fireproof floor construction, the use of concrete is almost universal.

Reinforced concrete is a building material in which the joint functions of concrete and steel are advantageously utilized.There are two kinds of reinforced concrete: with ordinary reinforcement and concrete with prestressed reinforcement. Ferro-concrete is used in building bridges and arches.

The principal materials used for reinforced concrete are: cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water, reinforcement and shuttering.
