Concrete Properties & Types

Type	Description	Uses
Normal Weight (typical concrete)	1,500-6,000 psi	Footings, Walls, Slabs, Beams, Pavement
High-Strength Concrete	6,000 psi -15,000 psi	Durability for Columns and Weight Bearing Structures
Lightweight Concrete	3,000 psi – 6,000 psi	Weight concerns (typically slabs on metal deck; 105-120 psf)
Control Density Fill Concrete	Fillcrete/HBR1, Flowable fill,Pumpfill/HBR3, Pumpfill/HBR4	Substitute for compacted Soil: Fill for underground utilities, slabs, and grade beams
Self-Consolidating Concrete	5,000 psi + SCC	Highly flowable where there is a lot of congested rebar or vibration is difficult.
High Density, Silica Fume Concrete	5,000 psi +(300-1,500 coulombs)	Durability. Reduces the amount of chlorides and water penetration into the concrete
Pervious Concrete	2,000 – 3,500 psi	Draining. Allows the water to filter through the concrete into a drainage or water retention system
Grouts	5-18 bag mixes	Fills, Leveling, Augercast foundations (Where using course aggregate is not wanted)

Admixtures, Additives & Materials

Admixture	Description	Uses
Air Entrainment	Plant added air-entraining admixture	Exterior concrete to withstand freeze and thaw
Water Reducer	Plant added Type A/D water-reducing admixture	To reduce the amount of water in the mix design, lower the W/C ratio and increase strength and durability
Retarder	Plant added Type B set retarding admixture	Slow set time of concrete
Mid-Range Water Reducer	Plant added Type A/F water-reducing admixture	For 5-7″ Slump requirements, better finishability
High-Range Super Plasticizer	Plant/Site added Type F water reducing admixture	6-9 slump requirements for better pumpability and placement
Non-Chloride Accelerator	Plant added Type C set accelerating admixture	Accelerates the set time of concrete without the use of chlorides
Shrinkage-Reducing Admixture	Plant added shrinkage-reducing admixture	Reduces the shrinkage potential of concrete
Water Proofing Admixture	Plant added crystalline water-proofing admixture	Creates a crystalline matrix within the concrete that resists the transfer of water
Corrosion Protection Admixture	Plant added corrosion inhibiting admixture	Creates a protective layer around steel rebar in concrete and delays the onset of corrosion

Additive	Description	Uses
Color	Plant added pigmented liquid color	Creates colored concrete in a wide range of earth tones (reds, yellows, browns, oranges, & black)
Micro Fibers	Micro synthetic fiber	Smaller, low-dosage fiber to prevent plastic shrinkage cracking
Macro Fibers	Macro synthetic fiber	Longer, higher dosage fiber for welded-wire steel mesh and light rebar replacement
Steel Fibers	Macro steel fiber	High dosage (25+ pounds) for light rebar replacement and abrasion resistance

Construction Practices

Practice	Description	Uses
SmartRock Plus	Bluetooth maturity sensors placed in concrete	Better indication of strength than the typical, field cured cylinder specimen that is also quicker.
Large Volume Pours	Pours with more than 500 cubic yards	Typically used for pavement, bridge decks, and roadways. It can also be used for high-rises or podium pours.
Post Tensioning	Compressing the concrete to increase its tensile strength.	Garages, bridge decks, and podiums.

Technology

At Hilltop, we are always striving to help our customers build structures that will last and do it in a way that makes their jobs easier. We are often called when ‘no one else can do it’ by using our expertise and resourcefulness to solve the hardest situations. We collaborate with world-leading suppliers who are also always innovating so concrete structures are as durable, energy efficient and resource efficient. Following are some examples of our latest innovations.

Hilltop partners with suppliers like BASF on ‘high specification’ projects like I-75 Rehabilitation Project. Hilltop developed a concrete using BASF’s 4×4 Concrete technology, a unique method of achieving 400 psi (2.75 MPa) flexural strength in 4 hours or as needed. With the mixture, we achieved the required compressive strength of 3,500 psi (24 MPa) at 6, 12 or 24 hours by simply adjusting the dosages of the admixtures. The concrete met all the plastic and hardened performance criteria set by the contractor and the KY DOT, and permitted the lanes to be reopened to traffic on schedule.
