Concrete is the second most consumed material on Earth after water. It is a great material with which you can build any structure above, below, or even underwater, whether it is a one or two-story building or a skyscraper. In this episode, we will learn about the history of concrete as a material, what were the ways in which humans built before concrete was introduced, and how did we reach these huge rates of consumption? We will also learn about its advantages, its disadvantages, the problems it has caused to the environment, and what solutions engineers and scientists are proposing to solve its problems.
