    Why concrete? The main performance for this material is for the foundation to resist the load applied. This is very important as if it could not resist the load, the concrete foundation would break down and crumble and therefore would not be able to hold the materials above. The foundation must also be able to spread out the load over a bigger area as if it is not able to do this, the load will be applied to one area of the foundation only and that area will not be able to hold all of the load, which is why the load applied must be spread out over a bigger area.…

Concrete compared to other building materials is extremely durable, yet remains affordable.…
