Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time. Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment fondu. However, asphalt concrete, which is frequently used for road surfaces, is also a type of concrete, where the cement material is bitumen, and polymer concretes are sometimes used where the cementing material is a polymer.
When aggregate is mixed together with dry Portland cement and water, the mixture forms a fluid mass that is easily molded into shape. The cement reacts chemically with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses.[2] Often, additives (such as pozzolans or superplasticizers) are included in the mixture to improve the physical properties of the wet mix or the finished material. Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.
Famous concrete structures include the Hoover Dam, the Panama Canal, and the Roman Pantheon. The earliest large-scale users of concrete technology were the ancient Romans, and concrete was widely used in the Roman Empire. The Colosseum in Rome was built largely of concrete, and the concrete dome of the Pantheon is the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3] Today, large concrete structures (for example, dams and multi-storey car parks) are usually made with reinforced concrete.
After the Roman Empire collapsed, use of concrete became rare until the technology was redeveloped in the mid-18th century. Today, concrete is the most widely used man-made material (measured by tonnage).

Problems faced by building by moisture or precipitation.pptxKashif390970
Moisture problems occur when excess moisture accumulates or becomes trapped in a part of a building that should be dry. They can happen in just about any building, new or old, and usually occur because of design oversights, construction errors or improper maintenance.
Waterproofing Challenges and Suggested Remedial measures for High Rise Buildi...IJSRD
Leakage can occur in both old and new constructions. Mostly it has been witnessed in old constructions. This indeed is a major problem faced by the buildings. As it is affecting both exterior and interior look of buildings and also causing damage to structural members. It also harms paint of the wall. The problem includes survey of not only leakage, but also dampness and seepage in the residential blocks. This study provide a better and more scientifically based understanding of the role of waterproofing materials to assist the prevention of moisture from penetrating sub-grade walls and slabs. The significance of the research topic is to provide a review of the development of waterproofing materials in implementing waterproofing system in building industry with some case study reference in the current market in India.

As a homeowner, you can be proactive or reactive in waterproofing your basement. If you are proactive, you take preventative measures to protect your home. If you are reactive, you wait until your home has a problem before coming up with a solution. This basement waterproofing article will go over proactive and reactive measures to waterproofing your basement.
Waterproofing describes making an object waterproof or water-resistant.
Building water-proofing is a process which is designed to prevent water from penetrating a building.
Usually extensive waterproofing measures are added to a building at the time of construction, to provide moisture control from the start
Waterproofing may also be done after a building is built, to address problems as they emerge or as part of a building retrofit
Internal areas that are waterproofed include :
bathrooms,
shower recesses,
laundries
toilets.

59. Mold Lawsuit
Owner sues contractor
-Contractor sues Architect and
Sub contractor.
61. Since mold requires water to grow,
it is important to prevent moisture
problems in buildings.
62. Some moisture problems in
buildings have been linked to
changes in building construction
practices during the 1970s, 80s,
and 90s.
63. Some of these changes have
resulted in buildings that are
tightly sealed , but may lack
adequate ventilation, potentially
leading to moisture buildup.
