Why would it be a bad idea to reinforce concrete with aluminum rods?

They do not expand equally, therefore the aluminium might crack the concrete on a hot day (or vice versa) due to this difference in expansion. i.e steel rods can be used to reinforce concrete because both materials expand equally.

IT WOULD BE A BAD IDEA BECAUSE ALIMINIUM IS FAR MORE SOFTER THAN CONCRETE AND CAN COLLAPSE AND CAN BE A GREAT THREAT TO MANKIND

Can we use aluminium in microwave?
No, that would not be a good idea, Aluminum foil will spark in a microwave.
Can you acid wash colored concrete?
You can acid wash colored concrete. In addition to acid washing, it is a good idea to seal colored concrete as well so it does not stain.
What properties does aluminum cookie sheet have?
An aluminum cookie sheet would not be a great idea. Aluminum has a specific heat of .900 J/g° Celsius. Specific heat is the heat an object has to get to before it starts actually heating up, so the higher the specific heat the harder it is to heat up. To have a comparison Gold, the best conducter metal, has a specific heat of .129 J/g° Celsius, and Water has a specific heat of 1.000 J/g° Celsius. Aluminum's specific heat is so high you might as well be baking cookies in water... if that were possible. Aside from that, if aluminum had a lower specific heat it would be great for a cookie sheet. It doesn't rust, its cheap (.05$ per oz), it doesn't explode while in contact with air or water (like potassium), and it generally lasts over a lifetime. But because the specific heat is so high, there's really no point in using it as a cookie sheet. I suggest copper.
What happens to coke cans when they are Not recycled?
Generally it will be included with other nonspecific waste and sent to disposal sites such as landfill sites. Here it is buried under tons of dirt and waste and left. Due to aluminum's chemical nature, it degrades unbelievably slowly unless it comes into contact with specific disruptive chemicals.As a result it is a very bad idea to not recycle cans as it is a waste of the Earth's limited aluminum reserves, and the energy required to refine new aluminum for the cans is also quite great.
Does hot charcoal ruin concrete?
Charcoal burns pretty hot, as things go. It might not be a good idea to leave it on concrete, at least not in a big pile. There is a problem with leaving a pile of burning charcoal on concrete. Concrete or any stone does not conduct heat really well. Sure, these materials get hot on hot days, and hold heat well. But if you heat concrete or stone or ceramic with a very hot source (charcoal burns at something on the order of 1100°C or 2000°F on contact, ball park), something called differential expansion breaks up the surface of the material being heated. Take a breath and read on. The intense heat from a source will cause localized expansion of material. And not enough heat will be conducted quickly into the underlying material to keep the difference in the expansion rates between the surface material and underlying material from breaking off tiny pieces at the surface of the material. Stone can actually be cut by "burning through" it with a hot source. The stone is not actually burned away, but differential thermal expansion nibbles it away, and a hot torch can cut stone (or concrete) in this way. If you spread burning charcoal out on concrete, you'll probably be okay. (Ash will insulate it a bit.) But it might not be a good idea to leave it in a pile.

In art would a emotion or concept be considered a concrete image or an abstract idea?
Emotion is an abstract idea that can be portrayed in a concrete image. Look at 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch, this piece portrays strong emotions and it is a concrete image. A concept is merely an idea one has. The concept is what becomes a concrete image when the artist completes the work, which can be abstract, impressionistic or realistic.

if you smother it in kethcup you can eat anything Actually no you cannot eat concrete. Well you should not eat concrete, the body is primarily made up of water. What is needed for concrete to harden?

Is self leveling concrete a better option when building a house?
Self leveling concrete might not be a bad idea however when building the foundation of the house it is absolutely a good idea to have an experienced builder doing the work and he may prefer regular concrete. In the end I would go with the professional opinion and what the builder has the most confidence and experience in.
Can you store soup in an aluminum pot?
It is not a good idea to store soup in an aluminum pot. The soup could react chemically with the aluminum. And pots are generally too deep to allow appropriate cooling.
Can you install solid wood floors on concrete?
Not a good idea because of the moisture that occurs in the concrete.
