Introduction-to-Concrete-and-Concrete-Materials

Explain Concrete as a Structural materials.

Concrete is used as a structural materials because of the following reasons:

  1. It is able to resist the effect of high temperature.
  2. It can bear high compressive force.
  3. It has excellent resistant to water and is less prone to weathering and corrosive effect.
  4. Structures made using Concrete are highly durable and fire proof.
  5. It requires less maintenance and can be recycled after a useful service life.
  6. The cost of production of concrete is low compared with other engineered
    construction materials.
