What are the advantages of the use of metals?

Concrete is cheaper. As in cheaper per kilogram, cheaper to "model". Has a relatively high compressive strength

What is BRC in construction?

BRC in construction refers to "British Reinforcement Concrete," which typically involves the use of steel mesh or reinforcement bars to strengthen concrete structures. BRC is commonly used in slabs, pavements, and other concrete applications to improve durability and load-bearing capacity. The mesh or bars are designed to resist tensile forces, helping to prevent cracking and structural failures. BRC is an essential component in ensuring the overall integrity and longevity of concrete constructions.

Which tools did the Greeks not use in their formal geometric constructions?

The ancient Greeks did not use measuring tools such as rulers or protractors in their formal geometric constructions. Instead, they relied on a compass for drawing circles and a straightedge for creating straight lines. Their constructions were based on pure geometric principles, emphasizing the use of these two simple tools to achieve precise results without any measurements.
