Select some of the advantages of using concrete as construction materials
Fresh concrete expands on drying and hardened concrete shrinks on wetting
Concrete expands and contracts with the changes in temperature.
Easy to disintegrate by alkali and sulfate attack
Needs another material to reinforce it against excessive shear and tension
