  • Among all the construction materials utilized
    across the globe, cement is one of the most used
    due to its unique variety of advantages as
    compared to other materials. The overall
    production cost of cement and cement price is
    relatively lower as well. Compared to wood and
    steel, cement can withstand water, with no major
    deterioration. It can also withstand heat for at
    least 2-3 hours. And for cement buildings, there
    will be sufficient time for rescue operations in
    case of fire emergencies or any other accidents.
    It is also used to fireproof steel and in blast
    appliances. 
  • There is absolutely no denying that concrete has
    come a very long way since its discovery. The
    earliest recordings of concrete structures date
    back to 65000 BC. In 65000 BC concrete was used
    by nabatea traders to create concrete floors,
    many housing structures, and underground
    cisterns.
  • This is the main reason why cement has been used
    in many famous structures. Concrete can yield
    beautiful and diverse architectural results.
    Lets take a look at some extraordinary and
    famous structures made using concrete-

  • Burj khalifa is the highest building in the
    world. The tallest man-made tower sits in the
    metropolis of dubai. This record-breaking
    concrete building measures 2,722 feet from the
    ground level to its tallest point. In the grand

    back in 126 AD with the help of concrete. It
    stands strong till now. It has been well

    historians, the pantheon was the location for
    several romans to honour their gods. It is also
    the largest concrete structure in rome and serves
    as a catholic church today.
  • Hoover dam
  • The famous hoover dam features over 4,000,000
    cubes of concrete. It was built during the early
    1930s to regulate water from the colorado river.
    Every year millions of people visit the hoover
    dam to witness the amazing concrete structure.
    Thanks to concrete, workers managed to make the
    largest reservoir in the US. The strength and
    durability of a building are determined by the
    quality of the cement used to make it. It is
    important to use the best cement in india to
    ensure the longevity of the structure. Make sure
    you work with the right material
