Advantages offered by concrete are flexibility in design, low cost, durability, fire

resistance, ability to be cast on site, and aesthetic appearance. Disadvantages include low

tensile strength, low ductility, and some shrinkage.

Zainab Al-Khafaji

the advantages and disadvantages of the concrete is not fixed because it depend on many other factors for example the concrete is cheap, but at the same time it is required long construction time. Therefore, in order to identify the advantages and disadvantages of concrete you should identify the purposes of concrete construction at first.
