Big sections can be made in one fill. Bricks need to be laid one at a time in rows by hand. You have to wait for the mortar to firm up before adding too much weight above. Concrete also can be made in sections off site & assembled on site
wood: wood can crack unlike concrete and wood is affected by water which can cause it to rot whereas concrete is not Metals: Metals can rust whereas concrete does not and metals can easily scratch Bricks: Bricks are more expensive than concrete and bricks take generally more 'man power' to place down whereas concrete does not. Hope this has been a good help
concrete is better than wood because concrete is much stronger and that's why most of the building are made out of it

No a lb of bricks and a pound of feathers is still a pound same with concrete and iron
Both are used as veneer meaning they are not structural weight bearing. It really comes down to personal preference and cost. The concrete bricks tend to be larger and have less color options. They also are among the lowest cost bricks on the market today.
Using sidewalk bricks instead of traditional concrete for outdoor pathways offers several benefits. Bricks are more visually appealing, provide better traction, are easier to repair, and allow for better drainage. Additionally, bricks are more environmentally friendly as they are often made from recycled materials and can be reused or recycled at the end of their lifespan.

What size bags of concrete and how big are the bricks? Makes a difference.
Concrete is better. However it does cost more
