The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.
Concrete is very strong in compression but weak in tension. RCC is concrete with reinforcing steel bars in it. Steel is a really good material in tension. Steel carries the tensile load and thus RCC is strong in tension too. However, designers still try to ensure concrete is in compression wherever possible.
Concrete that is in a solid state and has developed a certain strength. reaction continues with time and produced hard, strong and durable solid material.
Any sort of post that you are going to be attaching to concrete needs to be securely fastened to the concrete using nuts and bolts. Liquid nails is a strong product but does not give assurance that the posts will be securely fastened to the concrete.
reinforced concrete is better than unreinforced concrete for one major reason. concrete is an extremely strong material when it is put under pressure. however, when tension forces are introduced it will tend to fail without reinforcement. short answer: unreinforced concrete will handle a lot of weight, but it is very brittle. source: carpenter
Hollow concrete tile blocks were first used soon after the ancient Romans developed concrete. It was not very strong, but it was strong enough to be a tile.
for the strong fixation.
Not unless the light is very strong and the concrete is quite thin.
No, plaster of paris is not strong enough for concrete.
Strong concrete and materials
They for strength for concrete structures. Concrete, like masonry, is strong in compression (forces downward on it) but not in tension (stretched out). Therefore the steel gives the concrete tensile strength.
After doing some looking over the lyrics and doing some thinking, this is what I think Concrete Girl means. I think it's a man reassuring a girl that she is strong, even if she doesn't know it sometimes. Hence, the name Concrete Girl. To me, this song is about a girl who tries to be really strong all the time (Concrete). The song says "concrete girl don't fall over in this concrete world". Think about it. What happens when a concrete hits concrete? It breaks. They are saying that being too strong only means you'll fall even harder.

to make it strong
Concrete is very strong when under compression (pushed) but when when pulled, concrete is quite weak, sometimes only 10-15% as strong as when compressed. Reinforcement such as a steel bars is used in concrete to improve its strength. Additionally, concrete structures are often pre-stressed into compression by placing long bolts or rods under tension to squeeze the concrete so that it is still compressed even under load.
