Once you have a basic understanding of a simple concrete mix you can start learning more about the new concrete technologies and the real limitations of this amazing building material – suggest, not much!
By changing the volume and type of aggregates you use in your cement mix, you can create many types of concrete suitable for different uses. Usually the purpose of composite installation is to keep the concrete as strong as the finished product. Some examples of key concrete techniques are:
1) Color or dye the concrete
2) Lightweight concrete
3) High strength concrete
4) Decorative concrete
Even all of these options are just the tip of the iceberg of concrete. The extreme limitations of the current concrete technology being researched and developed are obvious (which is actually changing) of concrete that will reflect the dignity of this meter with thick meters! Concrete strength limitation is a self-supporting concrete that does not require the help of a metal grid function. Concrete strength used to measure PSI but mPA or mega Pascals is the current unit of compressive concrete strength that refers to the amount of concrete strength that can be guaranteed before failure.

Colored Concrete
You can add powder or liquid pigment to your concrete to get exciting and vibrant colors. Common colors can be brown, red, dark gray, tan and other similar earth tones. For concrete concrete colors you can use pure Portland cement instead of regular cement, and white sand instead of regular sand. This combination of white mud will react well to bright colors and pigtails. The amount of pigment or dye you use will depend entirely on the product you choose. The best way is to shop at a specialty concrete supply store that will have a better selection of high-quality concrete color additives than your local hardware store.
Simple Concrete
You can remove all the sand or part of it with a 3: 1 mortar mixer with composites that are much easier for nature than sand. The result will be a much simpler concrete, but also much weaker than 3: 1 sand. There are many applications of heavy concrete many of which will be decorative such as planting pots or garden pictures. The simplest and most common concrete joints are:
Vermiculite – a mineral and is often marketed as a “pool base” in large quantities from lake stores that will make a strong, but oppressive concrete. The value of vermiculite inserts is very high, ten times the height of sand, so vermiculite concrete mixtures are often used for noise reduction and protection.
Peat Moss – Using partially peat instead of sand will result in a much weaker concrete than traditional 3: 1 and much weaker than vermiculite concrete. Concrete texture is somewhat earthy and finishing and details of work can be very difficult compared to other mixtures.
Saw Dust – This is one of the easiest and cheapest composite methods used to achieve lightweight concrete. In addition to providing a non-abrasive texture and incompatibility of concrete, hardwoods often stain and carve color creating an interesting and unique pattern. Too much sawdust can make concrete unhealthy with unacceptable speed very quickly – in addition to vermiculite and peat moss.
Perlite – This is often used to make a garden and is visible because it is completely white and is very similar to the design of styrofoam beads. The main advantage of this combined option is the fact that it is white. It has the same overall feel as vermiculite but vermiculite-based concrete is much easier to process and finish than perlite-based concrete.
You can usually return up to two to three sand buckets with different combinations. Vermiculite can be mixed with straight cement without sand and remains strong enough to withstand a number of tasks such as swimming circles. Some aggregates will release concrete that will break under its own weight.
High Power Concrete
The current strength of concrete is measured in mPa with a concrete level of 10-15 mPa where home foundations usually start at 20-25 mPa. High commercial concrete is close to 35 mPa as concrete for the construction of swimming pools.
The reinforcement of the concrete over and above what will be produced by the 3: 1 mortar mixing requires engineering and testing. If you order concrete in a suitable mixing or bath building you can specify exactly how strong you want the concrete to be. If you mix them yourself and want to make the concrete as strong as possible there are a few things you can do.
Glass strands – Glass strands and fiberglass are two different additives that you can add to your concrete to help strengthen and bond and reduce hair cracks in the concrete during curing.
Water Reducer – a liquid that you can add to concrete instead of water. The water-cooler will increase the viscosity and performance of the cement significantly without adversely affecting the finished energy. If the water you put in the concrete is too much the finished product will be weak. Instead of lowering the water you can also use a minimum of total water which the concrete may work to make it as strong as possible.
Powder Additives – A combination of very dense powders like silica fume and fly ash can help make the concrete stronger by filling in some of the small gaps left on ordinary concrete with larger aggregates. These tiny compounds are dangerous to work with because the particles in the air are small enough to damage your lungs if you have to breathe. Most of these powder supplements will be hard to find for a typical DIY enthusiast.
Decorative concrete
Instead of sand you can add almost anything else like glass or colored beads, pieces of plastic or metal, rubber or anything else you can think of. You can usually use this concrete to create a exposed joint where the loose joint is attached to the top of the slightly healed concrete. The combination of these with small colored stones is very common and you may have seen this before. The combination of marble and microchips is rarely sure – but not impossible at all. By doing something basic you can learn to create beautiful things like sculptures, pond ponds, artificial rocks, ponds, waterfalls and decorative art.
