Experts on concrete

Concrete is a construction material that is made by mixing together cement, sand, stones, and water. Concrete is the second most widely used substance on Earth, after water. It also has a high impact on the environment and climate change through the greenhouse gases it emits - one cubic yard of concrete is responsible for emitting about 400 pounds of carbon dioxide. WPI experts on concrete can discuss in depth its uses, impact, and more.
