Episode Synopsis

What is concrete?
Concrete is a versatile composite man-made material, widely used as building /construction material in the world. We can’t imagine any structure without the use of concrete whether it is any kind of building, high-rise structures, dams, bridges, or roads.
The use of concrete started way back in the ancient time when people used clay, gypsum, and limestone as the binding material to form a concrete-like composite. Over many years people used these materials and with every passing time, it transformed into the modern world of concrete.
But finally, in the year 1824, an English man named Joseph Aspdin patented Portland Cement. It was named by the resemblance to the Portland Stone found in England and was regarded as the most prestigious building stone at that time.
