Why would the concrete around the pool raise 1 inch above the concrete patio where the two areas are connected by a drain and what can be done about it?
I assume this might be to keep any dirty ground water from running into the pool.
What features of the Roman cities are still in use today?
Two features of Roman cities immediately come to mind, they are the aqueducts and concrete. Aqueducts are still used in some areas and our modern piping evolved from them. Concrete is obvious -- streets, sidewalks, driveways, etc. Two features of Roman cities immediately come to mind, they are the aqueducts and concrete.

Will Water damage concrete?
Not generally. If the concrete has a sealent on it no, but if you have a massive amount of water on unsealed concrete, the concrete will absorb the water and can make it swell and possibly crack. Answer The answer given above is totally incorrect. As far as only concrete is concerned i.e. plain concrete, the effect of water seepage is very little (depending upon the grade of concrete) whereas for RCC (reinforced cement concrete)…
What do you use to cover areas of empty ground?
It depends on the intended use for those areas. You can plant grass seed and turn those areas into "lawn". You can put in ground cover plants in places where grass does not grow well, such as around and under trees or on slopes where soil tends to wash away. You can turn the space into a patio area with rock, bricks or concrete.
What is the difference between reinforced concrete and pre stressed concrete?
Both are methods of making concrete better at dealing with tension. Reinforced concrete is concrete that has a material that is good at dealing with tension added to it, typically steel, in the areas that are going to be subjected to tension. Prestressed concrete is concrete that is subjected to an extra compressive force, usually applied by placing a steel rod inside of the concrete that is stretched and then releasing the rod during curing…

What is a crawlspace?
A crawlspace is a type of home foundation quite common in some parts of the US, specially in the South. Houses are usually built with 3 different types of foundation: concrete slabs, basements and crawl spaces. Concrete slabs are usually placed on top of concrete footings, above grade. Basements are foundations built, or poured into dug pits, usually as deep as 8ft below grade level. Crawlspaces could be considered half way between the concrete slab…
Strength of concrete?
The strength of concrete varies considerably, depending on a number of variables. Is the force acting to compress the concrete? Or is the force trying to pull it apart? Was the concrete mixture made with a high percentage of water or a low percentage of water? How large are the aggregates? Were procedures taken to ensure air bubbles or air pockets were removed? Was the concrete kept moist while it cured? Was the concrete placed…
How much steel required for 1meter cubic of conceret?
It depends on how much rebar you're willing to lay down, in earthquake prone areas and structural concrete you'll generally see a lot of rebar, in just normal paver concrete you may not see any. Rebar is used to give concrete flexibility without brittleness so it really depends on the use of the concrete.
How much weight can you put on top of a 10000 gallon concrete water tank?
there is not nearly enough information provided to answer your question. it isn't important that it is a tank or that it is a water tank. what is important is the thickness of the concrete, the shape it makes, the amount and location of reinforcing steel inside the concrete, the type of concrete, the foundation and the soil the foundation is on, how high in the air the top of this tank is (has repercussions…

How do you build a floor on sloping concrete?
it can be done == you can pour self leveling cement mixture over old concrete but you must first rough up surface of old concrete then put bonding agent then mix self leveling mix very wet so you can pour from high spot and it will run to lower areas . Use wood furring strips ripped at an angle to compensate for the angle in the sloped concrete.
