Best Answer

Concrete is probably the most important building material today and is used as an alternative for brick/wood since the Roman & Egyptian times.

It is composed of cement,stone[gravel], sand and water which is a key ingredient that hardens the concrete. When reinforced with steel bars it is even more useful.

Concrete is made up of water, sand, cement and ballast. The process through which concrete is made is known as hydration which allows it to harden.
