Concrete is a
construction material that consists of cement (commonly Portland cement) as
well as
other cementitious materials such as fly ash and
slag cement, aggregate (generally a
coarse aggregate such as gravel limestone or granite,
plus a
fine aggregate such as sand or
manufactured sand and water)
and chemical admixtures.
A
composite material which consists essentially of a
binding medium,
within which are embedded particles or
fragments of a
relative inert filler in
portland cement concrete,
the binder is a
mixture of
portland cement and water;
the filler may be
any of a
wide variety of
natural or artificial,
fine and coarse aggregates;
and in
some instances, an admixture.
concrete can be
composed of
limestone and can alter the soil's pH in
the nearby area. Also,
many concrete bases may contain crushed limestone as filler.
