CONCRETE
Providing Business tools for the Australian Building and Construction Industry to assist Developers, Builders, Owner Builders and TradespeopleConcrete
Concrete has relatively high compressive Strength, but significantly lower tensile strength, and as such is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel).
Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension.
