Concrete

A common construction and paving composite material that hardens to a stonelike mass. Concrete is often used for house foundations, ground level floors, and sidewalks.

Concrete is usually made out of a mixture of Portland cement, aggregate (sand and gravel), and water. It is usually reinforced with steel rods (rebar) or wire screening (mesh).
