Plastic Concrete - It is of prime importance when selecting materials for a particular construction that the individual materials not only meet the specifications, but also combine into a concrete that can be cast without inducing defects in the concrete which will decrease durability. It is frequently seen that a concrete specification allows for the use of a relatively wide range of materials, e.g. Portland cement vs. slag cement, angular or rounded aggregate, etc. 2, record 2, English, - rounded%20aggregate
