Concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and a

binder such as cement. The most common form of concrete is Portland cement concrete,
which consists of mineral aggregate (generally gravel and sand), portland cement and water.

After mixing, the cement hydrates and eventually hardens into a stone-like material. When
used in the generic sense, this is the material referred to by the term "concrete".

How to make good Concrete Brick

What equipment we need to make the concrete brick.

1. Shovel

2. Cement spoon

3. Wheelbarrow

4. Board ( shaped as brick mold)

5. Mixing machine

6. Oil spray

What material we need.

1. Portland cement

2. Aggregate (gravel and sand)

3. Water

The steps !!!

1. Mix two parts all-purpose sand to one part of cement. Mix either fine or coarse all-
purpose sand, gravel, and cement in a wheelbarrow with a shovel. With 2:1:1
comparison between sand, gravel and cement. And then put them one the mixing
machine. After that, put the water inside the machine with 1,5 comparison. Wait until
they mix well. Then, concrete dough is done, pour it to the wheelbarrow back, it
better than we pour it to the ground.

2. Prepare the mold, Assemble the wood forms with the two 48 inch (1.2 m) pieces laid
parallel. Begin nailing the 9-inch (22.9 cm) pieces between the two 48-inch (1.2 M)
strips using either double-headed 16 penny concrete form nails or 3-inch (7.65 cm)
 deck screws. When finished, you should have 8 spaces 4 inches (5.1cm) wide, 9
inches (23 cm) long, and 3.5 inches (11 cm) deep.

3. Use a spray can of form release oil to aid in stripping the forms after pouring the
concrete into the brick molds.

4. Use a shovel put the concrete into the forms.

a) Tap on the side of the forms with the brick forms filled. Tapping on the top
afterward will force any trapped air out from inside of the concrete.
b) Use a straight edge or 12-inch (30.5 cm) trowel to smooth off the top of the
concrete level with the top of the forms. Allow it to dry for 24 hours.
5. Strip the forms from the concrete bricks on the next day. Stack the bricks in a cool
area to cure a suggested 2 weeks. Cover them up with a mover's blanket while they
are curing and keep the blanket wet and covered with plastic sheeting. This will keep
the bricks from cracking during the curing process. Once they have cured, you are
ready to use them.

6. Finished.
