IntroductionConcrete is a composite material composed of water, a coarse granular material embedded in a hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) which fills the space between the particles and glue them together. Concrete has been known to the Romans for 12 million years. It was a revolutionary material laid in the form of arches, vaults and domes. Concrete is widely used to make architectural structures, foundations, brick/block walls, sidewalks, bridges/overpasses, highways, runways, parking structures, dams, swimming pools/reservoirs, pipes, footings for doors, fences and posts and even boats. From Roman times to today, concrete has adopted many models. Current researchers have experimented with adding materials to create improved properties such as resistance or electrical conductivity. Why concrete? With the fastest growth in large construction in the world, what else could we use to create structures like the Eiffel Tower? To last as long as humanity lives on earth. Marble? Expensive and probably the bottom blocks would collapse. Steel or aluminum? Cost matters. Drink? Less stable, easily subject to fire and damage. Concrete offers superior fire resistance to other alternatives such as steel, wood, aluminum and other building materials and gains strength over time. And gives a long lifespan. Concrete is used more than any other artificial material in the world. Since 2006, around 7.5 billion cubic meters of concrete have been produced each year, or more than one cubic meter for each inhabitant of the Earth. Stone and concrete have similar properties, but concrete is much easier to work with: you can pour it into molds to create any shape, and when pouring you can include rebar in the mold to compensate for the problem that the stone and concrete...... middle of paper...... consisted of 10,251 cubic meters of concrete placed in a 58.5 hour period using two concrete pumps and two dedicated concrete plants.ConclusionWe are launching a huge effort to map materials based on their various properties, to help designers make good choices. And it can be concluded that if the subject is construction/architectural, concrete has properties such as fire and damage resistance, high strength, recycling property, availability, cost and ease of shaping . For all the above properties, concrete should be selected as a construction material. All of the above we can say that the use of concrete in the modern world is second only to that of natural water.
