Best Answer

No - concrete actually contains cement, along with some sort of course aggregate (usually gravel or other small rocks), a fine aggregate (typically sand), and water. Cement alone is not very structurally sound (you would not be able to drive on a cement driveway without it splitting into lots of little pieces, for example).
