Abstract
Concrete is the most widely used manufactured material in construction, found in everything from kerbs to dams, roads to pipes, buildings to bridges and even in ornamental building fixtures. While manufacturing processes remain problematic due to the significant CO2 contribution levels, concrete’s longevity, durability, thermal mass and compression strength make it an attractive building material.
