Some implementations herein described improvements to concrete products and processes for producing concrete products that may provide a positive environmental impact and that can be stronger relative to the percent of cement used. Particular examples include improvements to zero-slump to near-zero-slump concrete mixture design, material storage and handling, batching, mixing, sequencing and curing processes, as well as forming and curing techniques.

A ceramic body is provided that is suitable for use in dental applications to provide a natural aesthetic appearance. A colorized ceramic body is formed that has at least one color region and a color gradient region. A ceramic body is formed having at least two color regions and a color gradient that forms a transition region between two color regions. A method for making the colorized ceramic body includes unidirectional infiltration of a coloring composition into the ceramic body.

The method of curing reinforced concrete uses a liquid membrane-forming curing compound for the curing of reinforced concrete, but without fully coating the reinforced concrete with the curing compound, thus allowing for oxygen permeation through the reinforced concrete to effect passive layer formation on steel rebar embedded in the reinforced concrete. Prior to curing, a mask is applied to at least one surface of a slab of reinforced concrete, such that the mask covers about 10% of the surface area of the at least one surface. The at least one surface of the slab of reinforced concrete is then coated with a liquid membrane-forming curing compound. The liquid membrane-forming curing compound is allowed to dry, thus forming a curing compound layer on the at least one surface of the slab of reinforced concrete. The mask is then removed to form at least one uncoated region.
