Advantages Of Concrete

1.Ingredients of concrete are easily available in most of the places.

2.The durability of concrete is very high.
3.Concrete can be manufactured to desired strength with an economy.
4.Concrete makes a building fire-safe due to its noncombustible
nature
5.The deterioration of concrete is not appreciable with age.
6.Unlike natural stones, concrete is free from defects and flaws.
7.Concrete can withstand high temperatures.
8.Concrete is resistant to wind and water. Therefore, it is very useful in
storm shelters.
 Disadvantages Of Concrete
1. Compared to other binding materials, the
tensile strength of concrete is relatively low.
2. Concrete is less ductile
3. The weight of compared is high compared to
its strength.
4. Concrete may contains soluble salts. Soluble
salts cause efflorescence.
