Special Concretes
Special Concretes are normally named and characterized by its
specific characteristics and qualities. Each type of concrete has also all of the listed aspects:
- Functional Applications
- Technical Properties
- Construction
- Decorative
- Durability
- Sustainability

The name of a type of concrete characterizes then its typical
characteristic and the following list gives an over-view:

In order to describe a type of concrete all 6 characteristics
must be treated. This enormous information must be very well structured in a way
that everybody finds easily the relevant information.
