Is concrete strong?

When were hollow concrete tiles first used?
Hollow concrete tile blocks were first used soon after the ancient Romans developed concrete. It was not very strong, but it was strong enough to be a tile.
What thermosetting plastic is a speedboat made from?
If it is plastic (many speedboats are metal) it will be the plastic Epoxy Resin (exactly the same as the glue) with fiberglass cloth to reinforce it. Epoxy Resin is very strong but somewhat brittle (like concrete), the fiberglass prevent cracks in the Epoxy Resin from growing and reinforces it (like the steel rebar in reinforced concrete does).
Why water is adding in concrete?
for the strong fixation.
Can light travel through concrete?

What do poured concrete cages do?
They for strength for concrete structures. Concrete, like masonry, is strong in compression (forces downward on it) but not in tension (stretched out). Therefore the steel gives the concrete tensile strength.
What is the meaning of the song concrete girl by switchfoot?
After doing some looking over the lyrics and doing some thinking, this is what I think Concrete Girl means. I think it's a man reassuring a girl that she is strong, even if she doesn't know it sometimes. Hence, the name Concrete Girl. To me, this song is about a girl who tries to be really strong all the time (Concrete). The song says "concrete girl don't fall over in this concrete world". Think about it. What happens when a concrete hits concrete? It breaks. They are saying that being too strong only means you'll fall even harder.

How does concrete act when it is pushed and when it is pulled?
Concrete is very strong when under compression (pushed) but when when pulled, concrete is quite weak, sometimes only 10-15% as strong as when compressed. Reinforcement such as a steel bars is used in concrete to improve its strength. Additionally, concrete structures are often pre-stressed into compression by placing long bolts or rods under tension to squeeze the concrete so that it is still compressed even under load.
