What is concrete?

Concrete is a versatile composite man-made material, widely used as building /construction material in the world. We can’t imagine any structure without the use of concrete whether it is any kind of building, high-rise structures, dams, bridges, or roads.

The use of concrete started way back in the ancient time when people used clay, gypsum, and limestone as the binding material to form a concrete-like composite. Over many years people used these materials and with every passing time, it transformed into the modern world of concrete.
