It may look like the concrete is drying as it hardens, but actually, it's undergoing a chemical reaction called hydration. The water is absorbed by the cement to create interlocking crystals that hold the aggregates together. The majority of it takes place in the first month.

Flowable fill is an excellent backfill alternative to compacted gravel. It delivers better compaction than granular backfill, has a useful life beginning only two and a half hours after pouring, and has minimal washout of chutes once finished.

Concrete can actually help reduce the temperature in cities in the summer. Concrete reflects sunlight, and the so-called "heat island" effect in big cities has been pegged to the widespread use of asphalt paving, not concrete.

How thick should a concrete parking lot be? The optimum thickness of a concrete parking lot will depend on the unique needs of each business - including estimated traffic and load weights - but is usually between 4 to 6 inches thick.

Pozzolan is the name of an early concrete, which has been used for buildings and roads for more than 4000 years. Pozzolan is a true marvel. Made from volcanic ash, lime and aggregate, it bonds with stone, hardens in water, and grows stronger as it cures.

The Hoover Dam, built on the Colorado River about 30 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, is the largest concrete structure in the U.S. The estimated 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete in the dam is enough to build a 16-foot-wide highway from San Francisco to New York City.

As concrete cures, it becomes harder and stronger because of the chemical reaction that takes place between the water and the cement. A crystalline structure is formed binding the sand and aggregate, making it more durable as it cures.

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there's a difference between cement and concrete. Concrete is a building material made of sand, gravel and a binder that holds everything together. Cement is the binder.

Did you know that, compared to steel, concrete is considered a safer building material? Not only does reinforced concrete offer outstanding resistance to any kind of impact, but it can also ensure very high temperatures for long periods without loss of structural integrity.
