2. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

   Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

3. Expanded polystyrene concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polystyrene_concrete

   Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete (also known as EPScrete, EPS concrete or lightweight concrete) is a form of concrete known for its light weight made from cement and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene). It is a popular material for use in environmentally "green" homes. It has been used as road bedding, in soil or geo-stabilization projects and as sub ...

4. Precast concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete

   Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and maneuvered into place; examples include precast beams, and wall panels for tilt up construction.

5. Slip forming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_forming

   Slip forming. Slip forming, continuous poured, continuously formed, or slipform construction is a construction method in which concrete is poured into a continuously moving form. [1] Slip forming is used for tall structures (such as bridges, towers, buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal structures, such as roadways.

6. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

   There are two application methods for shotcrete. dry-mix – the dry mixture of cement and aggregates is filled into the machine and conveyed with compressed air through the hoses. The water needed for the hydration is added at the nozzle. wet-mix – the mixes are prepared with all necessary water for hydration.

7. Self-consolidating concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-consolidating_concrete

   Self-consolidating concrete or self-compacting concrete ( SCC) [1] is a concrete mix which has a low yield stress, high deformability, good segregation resistance (prevents separation of particles in the mix), and moderate viscosity (necessary to ensure uniform suspension of solid particles during transportation, placement (without external ...
