Today, our urban centers can be called 'jungles of concrete'. This wonder material is everywhere around us. Basically, concrete is a material used for construction purpose and is composed of Portland cement mixed with strengthening material like aggregate (gravel, granite, limestone, sand), fly ash and slag cement, water, and additives if any. There are many types of concrete mixes depending on the various factors, like proportion of aggregate, production procedure, usage, etc. Here is a list of the most commonly found concrete types but before that a brief about concrete.

The most popular way of making concrete is using Portland cement and mixing mineral aggregates and water with it. Concrete solidifies quickly as the cement components hydrate and glues all the added aggregate together. The concrete thus formed has high compressive strength and it is generally used for making pavements, gates, fences, walls, slabs and more. External additives and stabilizers are added to the concrete to impart it with some desired characteristics. In earlier times, concrete would often be referred to as liquid stone.
