C12 (Cements and Concrete)

C12 (Cements and Concrete) refers to a classification in construction that includes materials like cement and concrete mixes used to build structures. Cement is a powdered substance that, when mixed with water, hardens and binds particles together. Concrete is a versatile construction material made from cement, water, sand, and gravel or crushed stone. It’s commonly used for foundations, walls, and roads because it is durable, strong, and capable of withstanding environmental pressures. The C12 grade indicates a specific strength level of concrete, suitable for particular applications where moderate load-bearing capacity is needed.
