Abstract

The properties of constituent materials and variation of the mix ingredients mostly affect the quality of concrete produced. This chapter describes constituent materials of concrete and provides information about composition and types of Portland cement (as described in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom) including supplementary cementitious materials and various types of blended cements, such as slag cements, pozzolanic type IP, P, I (PM) cements, high-alumina cements, coloured Portland cement, waterproofed or water-repellent cement, hydrophobic cement, low-alkali cement, shrinkage-compensating or expansive cements, masonry and mortar cements, plastic cements, finely ground cements (ultrafine cements), oil well cements, magnesium phosphate cements, and sulphur cements.
The chapter further describes properties and classification of aggregates covering natural mineral aggregates, synthetic aggregates, and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and their influence on concrete produced. This chapter also addresses mixing and curing water requirements, and types and uses of admixtures; about ten types of admixtures are discussed.
