Rapid Strength Concrete

Before proceeding to the innovation product of “rapid strength concrete” we have to what is
a concrete structure, you have to look at what is meant by concrete in construction first.
Concrete is an element in construction which is a simple structure formed by a mixture of
cement, air, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate in the form of crushed stone or gravel, air and
other mixed materials. This concrete structure can be identified through the concrete map
itself. The following is a standardized situation for a good concrete, which is the following:
1. Density => Concrete that has a good structure also has good density so that it is able
to support the load of a construction building so that it is not easily reclaimed.
2. Strength => Strength is one of the standards that must be met in the use of concrete
for construction buildings.
3. Cement water factor => The strength and thickness factors that determine the quality
of the concrete structure are the use of the semen factor used.
4. Texture => The texture that concrete has also determines its quality.
5. Parameter => Parameter is one of the things that need to be considered which can also
affect the quality of the concrete. In a concrete structure, there are several
components, including slabs or plates, beams, columns, walls, and foundations for
building construction.
 Now we talk about innovation. The concrete drying process will usually take a minimum of
7 days. It takes quite a while, of course, therefore the innovation of Rapid Strength Concrete
was made, only using this product, within 5 hours the concrete will dry immediately. This
product is useful for the construction and repair of roads that are being pursued by
completion deadlines. For example, repairing roads in Pantura before the Eid homecoming,
or repairing roads after being damaged by floods.
Rapid Strength Concrete only takes 5 hours to achieve a compressive strength of 252 kg /
cm2 and 24 hours to achieve a compressive strength of 696 kg / cm2. That means, if normal
concrete for roads takes 28 days, using concrete from this product in just 1 day can be passed
by heavy rubber-wheeled vehicles. This is an innovation that is a concrete solution to the
challenges faced by society regarding road infrastructure.
Not only that. Product innovations that have been carried out have also resulted in porous
concrete or pervirous concrete where this concrete is able to absorb water flowing over it,
then immediately forward it to the ground. This concrete is a solution to help overcome
flooding in urban areas.
 According to the data, this is the market of product “Rapid strength concrete” by region.
And in 2026 it is expected to increase.
