This document discusses several types of advanced concrete technologies, including their benefits and applications. Nanotechnology can be used to improve mechanical and electrical properties of cement composites. Eco-friendly concrete made with GGBS provides benefits like controlling cracks and long-term strength. Steel fiber concrete has increased flexural strength, impact resistance, and durability compared to plain concrete. Pervious concrete allows for groundwater recharge and reduces runoff. Self-compacting concrete improves reinforcement placement and shortens construction periods. Geo-polymer concrete has high strength and low creep/shrinkage.
