Why?
Concrete structures, especially reinforced concrete structures are one of most common type of structures used around world. The coupling between steel and concrete allows engineers to design composite structures considering complex architectural geometries with fair costs.
Advantages
Concrete is resistant to burns, rust, and rot. It can also stand up to vibrations, water, wind, fire, and even earthquakes. Not only does this reduce costs, but it keeps people safe. Concrete has proven to be the most durable building material when it comes to natural disasters and extreme weather events.
