 Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and
coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement
(cement paste) that hardens over time.
It is strong in compression but weak in tension.

Coarse Aggregates Admixtures Fine Aggregates Cement

History
•In 1830,Lime and hydraulic cement was firstly introduced in Canada.
•In 1849,Reinforced concrete was used.
•In 1854,First home was constructed.
•After 1900s it became widespread
Grades of Concrete
Actually, what do we mean by grade of
concrete.? Concrete grades are denoted
by M10, M20, M30, according to their
compressive strength
Lean concrete-

M5 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:5:10 (1 Cement, 5 Sand and 10 Aggregate)
Application/use: – To provide the uniform surface of the foundation
concrete and to prevent the direct contact of foundation concrete from the soil.

M7.5 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:4:8 (1 Cement, 4 Sand and 8 Aggregate)
Application/use: – To provide the uniform surface of the foundation
concrete and to prevent the direct contact of foundation concrete from the soil.
Ordinary grade of concrete
M10 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:3:6 (1 Cement, 3 Sand and 6
Aggregate)
It is used as PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction
of Levelling course, bedding for footing, concrete
roads, etc.
M15 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:2:4 (1 Cement, 2 Sand and 4 Aggregate)
It is used as PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction of Levelling course,
bedding for footing, concrete roads, etc.

M20 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:1.5:3 (1 Cement, 1.5 Sand and 3 Aggregate)
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction of Slabs, beams,
columns, footings, etc. (For mild exposure)
Standard grade of concrete
M25 GRADE
The mix ratio is 1:1:2 (1 Cement, 1 Sand and 2
Aggregate)
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction of
Slabs, beams, columns, footings, etc.

M30 GRADE
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction of Slabs, beams, columns,
footings, etc.

M35 GRADE
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – It can be used in the construction of Slabs, beams, columns,
footings, etc.
M40 GRADE
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – Pre-stressed concrete, slabs, beams, columns, footings, etc.
GRADE- M45 RCC e.g. Runways, Concrete Roads (PQC), Pressurized Concrete
Girders, RCC Columns, pressurized beams.

GRADE- M50
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – Runways, Concrete Roads (PQC), Pressurized Concrete
Girders, RCC Columns, pressurized beams.

GRADE- M55
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use: – Pressurized Concrete Girders and Pier
High strength concrete grades
M60 GRADE & M80 GRADE
It is used as RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
Application/use:-
1- It can be used RCC work where high compressive strength is required
such as high rise buildings, long span bridges, ultra-thin white topping etc.
2- Constructions in aggressive environment.
3- Spillways of dams, coastal construction of a passage for surplus water
from a dam.
Precast Concrete – Casting is done in
Market Survey
industries under controlled conditions.This is
done manually.
Reinforcement is done without tension and is
done with the help of vibrations,which gives
more strength.

Prestressed Concrete- In this,

reinforcement is done with tension i.e
stretched by jack.
