Concrete is an ancient material of construction, first used during the Roman Empire. Concrete today is a sophisticated material to which exotic (foreign) constituents can be added and, with computer-controlled batching, can produce a product capable of achieving 50,000 psi compressive strength.
- i.Concrete is the second most consumed substance in the world after water.
- All over the world, approximately for 80% of the construction concrete is required,.
- The cement and water form a paste that hardens
- Concrete is often looked upon as “man made rock”.
- Concrete has strength, durability, and economy.
