What are the pros and cons for a poured concrete basement and a wood-base basement?
True termites don't eat concrete. I would suggest concrete just because if there is any water damage it does't effect it as much. If you had a wooden basment,humidity and temperature would have a major factor on it's annual outcome. If it is fully finished with insulation and drywall, with a concrete foundation you can use a wood flooring. Concrete is you best bet, you can put almost anything you want on top of it, carpeting, tiles, wood , I would suggest a floating wood floor if any wood at all.
Why concrete roads are laid in section with pitch between them?
Concrete, whether in a road or a building expands (gets longer) in hot weather and contracts (gets shorter) in cold weather. So the builders install an expansion strip every so many feet to allow the concrete to make these small but significant changes in length. If this were not done, the concrete, when warm, would expand, and having nowhere to go, would go up (roads) or out (buildings), thus ruining the road or building. These expansion joints are filled with pitch, tar, or mastic - they call it different things in different parts of the country - to keep out water. Water would freeze, and cause the same problems.
