Yes, lead can be added to concrete, typically to enhance its density and radiation shielding properties. This is often done in specialized applications, such as in the construction of radiation protection barriers in medical or nuclear facilities. However, due to lead's toxicity and environmental concerns, its use in concrete is heavily regulated and generally discouraged for general construction purposes. Alternative materials are often preferred for similar benefits without the health risks associated with lead.
you need to have a ''keyway''---that is a groove in the base concrete,can be cut in if concrete has set,if not set,oil a 2x4lightly(lightly) & imbed it into the base concrete flush.
Yes, so that the concrete doesn't break or split.
Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.
yes
yes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcomeyes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcome
Because the sidewalk expands when it is warmer out, which can lead to cracking. In order to avoid this, the concrete peeps put intentional cracks in between each slab.
Lead has a higher density than concrete, so a 1"x1"x1" cube of concrete would weigh less than the same cube of lead.
Yes, you can put pavers over concrete for a new patio design.
In Junior and Senior Infants we got concrete objects to count with.
Lead and concrete are effective materials for blocking gamma radiation. Lead is dense and absorbs gamma rays, while concrete provides a barrier that can block the radiation. Using a combination of lead and concrete shielding can effectively block gamma radiation.

Yes. It is a myth that a battery will run down sitting on concrete.
Concrete illustrations are used to put abstract ideas into close-up words. The concrete words could be described as tangible descriptions.
Concrete, lead
It starts curing the second they put water in it.
