Advantages and Disadvantages of concrete

Advantages of concrete	Disadvantages of concrete
It possesses high compressive strength to withstand a huge amount of load.	It has low tensile strength and hence cracks are developed.

What are some disadvantages of concrete?

Disadvantages of Concrete

• Compared to other binding materials, the tensile strength of concrete is relatively low.
• Concrete is less ductile.
• The weight of compared is high compared to its strength.
• Concrete may contains soluble salts. Soluble salts cause efflorescence.

What are the advantages of building with concrete?

Advantages of Concrete

• Very durable.
• Low maintenance.
• Does not rust, rot, or burn.
• Absorbs & retains heat (increases efficiency in buildings and cuts heating/cooling bills)
• Wind and water resistant.
• Non-combustible (fire safe)
• Effective soundproofing material.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of concrete pavement elaborate?

The concrete road has good longevity and no maintenance cost is required. Concrete produces hard pavement and it has good sustainability against truck loading. Concrete road lasts for a prolonged period. Concrete has the ability to give protection against high temperature.

Which of the following are the advantages of this concrete?

8. Which of the following are the advantages of this concrete? Explanation: Due to low density i.e., it is light weight which is good for our construction purpose because it will be easy to transport.

What are the advantages of cement concrete roads?

Advantages of Cement Concrete Road Cement concrete roads are strong and durable and are unaffected much by weathering agencies. They give good visibility at night. Cement concrete roads provide dustless and sanitary surface. Cement concrete roads does not develop corrugations and hence it grants noiseless surface.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of reinforced concrete structure?

Reinforced concrete has a high compressive strength compared to other building materials. Due to the provided reinforcement, reinforced concrete can also withstand a good amount tensile stress. Fire and weather resistance of reinforced concrete is fair.
