Projects > Concete Project

Summary

Different types of concrete was one of the four projects that CEC worked upon in srishti. We chose to work on concretes with more strength, safety and durability that could make the life of people easier. Some concretes were already made in the past but some were being developed for the future. We made few concretes in the lab while preparing the presentations for few due to shortage of equipments.

Following are the working models that we made:-

1. Pervious concrete - It's a highly porous concrete that can allow a large quantity of water to pass through to prevent flooding and help recharging groundwater.
2. Lime concrete - It was one of the first concretes made in human history.
3. Light weight concrete - This concrete is so light weighted that it can float in water and also prevent the spreading of fire.
4. Sparkling concrete - This concrete sparkles when light falls on it. It can be used to prevent accidents at night.

Following are the concretes whose presentation were made:-

1. Self healing concrete
2. Polymer concrete
3. Eco-friendly concrete
4. Transparent concrete

These concretes were represented in the form of timeline of their discovery along with proper description.
