Concrete cover, in reinforced concrete, is the least distance between the surface of embedded reinforcement and the outer surface of the concrete.
Vitrified tile is a ceramic tile with very low porosity. It is an alternative to marble and granite flooring. They are often used outdoors due to their water and frost resistance.
Hollow concrete blocks are substitutes for conventional bricks and stones in building construction. They are lighter than bricks, easier to place and also confer economics in foundation cost and consumption of cement.
An interlocking concrete paver is a type of paver. It has emerged over the last couple of decades as a very popular alternative to brick, clay or concrete.
Crushed stone or angular rock is a form of construction aggregate, typically produced by mining a suitable rock deposit and breaking the removed rock down to the desired size using crushers.
A paver is a paving stone, tile, brick or brick-like piece of concrete commonly used as exterior flooring. In a factory, concrete pavers are made by pouring a mixture of concrete and some type of coloring agent into a mold of some shape and allowing to set.

Lightweight concrete can be prepared either by injecting air in its composition or can be achieved by omitting the finer sizes of the aggregate or even replacing them by a hollow, cellular or porous aggregate.

ii) Lightweight aggregate concrete
iii) Aerated/Foamed concrete
Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) is produced by the mixing of sand, fly-ash cement foam and water in requisite proportion in ready mix plant or ordinary concrete mixer.
It is very light colour. The quality of CLC production can be controlled accurately at the project and implimentation site, just like concrete.

The lightweight concrete has a desirable strength to be an alternative construction material for the industrialized building system.
Nevertheless the compressive strength is accepted to be produced as non-load bearing structure.
