Concrete is made of Portland cement, sand, rock, water, and sometimes other chemicals to help speed or slow the curing process.
"Curing" is one of the most important steps in placing concrete, as it gains strength and hardens over time.
PSI is used in describing the strength of the concrete. Different strengths are used for sidewalks compared to truck lots, building slabs, etc.
