Whilst most concrete is mixed use the same core materials (cement, water and aggregate – commonly sand and stone) in differing ratios. Some types of concrete require the addition of materials or chemical additives, namely:
- Fibres: Increase strength, reduce cracking/shrinkage.
- Plasticisers: Improve workability and flow.
- Retardants: Slow setting rate.
- Accelerants: Speed up setting rate.
