Abstract
In the article, the modern and innovative applications of concrete mix have been critically analyzed. The authors focused first of all on transparent concrete - LiTraCon. The article mainly analyzed its technical parameters. Another modern way of using the concrete mix, which has been included in the publication, is paving stone absorbed in daylight. This material description is primarily, focused on its serviceability. Another material presented is white concrete, its advantage is the ease of colour choice. The authors also described the possibilities of using properly shaped architectural concrete as well as its unusual use in the form of doors. The entire publication concludes with a summary.
Highlights
In the article, the modern and innovative applications of concrete mix have been critically analyzed
According to the examples given by the authors, concrete is currently a structural material, but can be a decorative element
The development of construction chemistry and technology has allowed the creation of transparent concrete or shining in the dark absorbed light
Summary
The history of concrete reaches 7000 years BC [1]. The traces of this material were found in the area of present-day Israel. Increasing the possibility of using concrete and its freeforming have been achieved thanks to the use of steel and later in other components. Steel bar reinforcement was used to increase the concrete parameters. The modern meaning of this material, despite the passage of time from the beginning of its invention, has not lost its value. It is by far the most popular structural material commonly used in cubature, industrial, hydrotechnical or single-family construction. The further part of the publication presents, examples of concrete mix application to bring the strength parameters of manufactured building elements, and an attempt to extract the previously unknown beauty of concrete [6]
