CONCRETE

=DEFINITION=

====Concrete is a manufactured mixture of cement and water, with aggregates of sand and stones, which hardens rapidly by chemical combination to a stonelike, water-and-fire-resisting solid of great compressive but low tensile strength. Because it can be poured into forms while liquid to produce a great variety of structural elements, it provides an economical substitute for traditional materials, and it has the advantages of continuity (absence of joints) and of fusing with other materials.====







=What is the difference between tiltwall construction, tilt-up panel construction and pre-cast concrete construction?=

==== In a Tilt-up construction project, the building's walls are poured directly at the jobsite in large slabs of concrete called tilt-up panels or tiltwall panels.In a pre-cast concrete construction walls are also directly poured at the jobsite but in large slabs or bricks. ====
