chemical process known as hydration.
=Types of concrete =

grids, plates or fibers have been incorporated to strengthen ======

*The **prestressed concrete** is a method created to overcome the concrete's ======

=
natural weakness in tension. This provides bearing members into which ======

reinforcement is set under tension to produce a live force to resist a particular load.
Tilt-wall construction, tilt-up panel construction and pre-cast concrete construction  are new and nontraditional cement building processes. For a tilt-up concrete building, the walls are created by putting together forms and pour large slabs of concrete, creating panels. These panels are then tilted up into position around the building's slab. The difference with the tilt-wall panels is that this last one is pour and assembled at the construction zone, and can be as tall, wide and long as the client wants it, unlike the tilt-up that is limited in size. The precast concrete building process is very much alike to tilt-up construction, only in the precast construction, the concrete panels are created in a manufacturing facility and this advantage is very useful when the weather is not sunny.
