What is concrete? An overview of this versatile building material
Concrete is an indispensable building material with a long history, used in many structures around the world. The Romans used an early form of concrete to construct impressive buildings like the Pantheon. Concrete consists primarily of cement, aggregate, and water, although modern mixes also contain additives and materials. Its versatility and strength make it essential for the construction industry. Despite the CO2-intensive nature of cement production, researchers are working on more sustainable alternatives to ensure that concrete remains environmentally friendly in the future.
