Concrete technology and concrete construction acts as mostly used construction and building material throughout the world. The easy and cheap availability of constituents is one of the reason why mostly people prefer concrete. Concrete construction has numerous advantages and disadvantages in comparison with other construction materials like steel, timber, stone etc. 

Concrete

Concrete can be defined as;

A homogenous paste of cement sand (fine aggregate) and aggregate mixed with suitable quantity of water to have required strength and required workability is known as plain cement concrete. 

Types of Concrete 

Concrete can be divided in two major categories Reinforced cement concrete in which reinforcement is used to fulfill the tensile strength required for a structural member and plain cement concrete in which no reinforcing is employed and compression strength of the concrete is utilized. 

Advantages of Concrete

Concrete has various advantages which are utilized like; it can be casted in almost any shape and thus structures like arches and domes can be developed, it is heat resistant and thus has a major advantage for its usage over steel structure which melts down and fails. Because of easy availability of material it is cheaper and various other. 

Concrete has various properties which have to be examined for its successful working and efficient operation.
