Both concrete and cement are common materials used on construction sites. They are integral components of a wide variety of construction materials.

Cement looks like a thick paste when wet, and a grey powder in its base form.

It combines with water, gravel, and sand to create ready made concrete. It is an important part of the strengthening process.

Portland cement is the type that goes into every one of our mixes.

Like all other volumetric concrete suppliers, we measure ready mix concrete by cubic metre. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4 tonnes.

Hydration happens when water mixes with sand, stone, and cement. The chemicals in water react with the other materials and form strong bonds.

Hydration causes concrete to dry. This is because the water molecules enter into bonds with other atoms and aggregate.

The majority of hydration occurs in the first month after the concrete has set. Hydration can also occur months and years after the concrete has set. This depends on how much moisture remains in the mixture.

Curing and drying concrete are two different things. Drying concrete involves creating the correct moisture environment. In contrast, curing concrete depends on time, temperature, and moisture.

Curing concrete is a delicate job.

You must maintain a relative humidity of more than 80% and a temperature above 10°C for 3 to 14 days. This timeframe depends on the type of project that you are working on.

You also have to protect your ready mix concrete delivery from frost, immense heat, and harsh winds.

If your ready mix concrete has started to crack, do not worry. More often than not, cracks are not a sign of any internal defects and are a natural part of the drying process.

When concrete contracts, cracks begin to show.

There are a few reasons why cracks might appear more often than they should.

• You have laid the concrete incorrectly
• You have added too much water to the mixture
• You have not added expansion joints to the concrete

It is important to use expansion joints in your concrete. Adding one joint every 3 to 3.5 metres will reduce the space available for contractions to take place.

Some construction workers add more water than necessary to their mixture to make it more pliable and easy to work with. This can cause defects further down the line.
