Advantages
Concrete is the most frequently utilized construction material in the world due to its distinct advantages over other materials. The following are advantages of concrete.
Cost-effective.
Cement concrete has a low production cost when compared to engineered cementitious materials used in building because concrete is constructed from relatively inexpensive ingredients. Concrete maintenance costs are also low. Unlike steel or timber structures, where weathering is unavoidable, concrete structures do not need to be coated or painted on a regular basis to preserve them from the elements. Concrete's coatings will be updated and refinished on a regular basis, lowering the expense of maintenance compared to steel or wood.
High-temperature resistance.
Concrete is more resistant to high temperatures compared to wood or steel. The principal binder in concrete, calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), can resist temperatures up to 910 degrees Celsius allowing Concrete to endure heat for 2–6 hours.
Hardens at ambient temperature.
At room temperature or ambient temperature, concrete sets, hardens, and gains strength. Because cement is a low-temperature bonded inorganic substance, this is the case. As a result, concrete can be utilized regardless of the weather and can be enhanced with admixtures if necessary.
The ability to be molded into a specific shape.
Fresh concrete has a liquid state and is flowable. Concrete can then be poured into various formworks or shuttering configurations on the construction site to create the necessary forms and sizes. By altering the mix, concrete can be cast into complicated shapes and patterns.
Water resistance.
Pure water has no effect on concrete nevertheless, compounds dissolved in water, such as sulfates, chlorides, and carbon dioxide, induce corrosion. It is perfect for underwater and submerged applications such as building structures, pipelines, dams, canals, linings, and shoreline constructions because of its features.
