2.9 CONCRETE IN PRACTICE Concrete is one of the most frequently used building materials worldwide. The distinctive characteristics like strength, durability, low-maintenance, energy-efficient, sustainability are the reasons for wide range usage of concrete in the field of civil engineering. Below, we discuss the different uses of concrete in the field of civil engineering. 2.9.1 CONCRETE DAMS The characteristics of concrete such as high strength and unit weight make it a more suitable material for the construction of dams. Dams are used to store water and produce electricity. The loads imposed on the dam due to water pressure are very intense which makes concrete as a suitable material for dam construction. 2.9.2 RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS The construction of small buildings, villas, and even high-rise buildings are done using concrete with traditional or modern form-work as a method of construction of the skeleton from foundations to the slabs and of course columns and beams. 20PDF Image | concretes that use polymers as a binder
