Composite Materials
Composite material is made by combining a minimum of two or more materials, often with different properties. Composite materials usually present unique properties in which the strength-to-weight ratio is high.
Another advantage of using a composite over a conventional type of material is the thermal and chemical resistance as well as the electrical insulation properties. Unlike conventional materials, composites can have multiple properties not often found in a single material.
Question: Outline the materials used to make concrete. Include a labelled diagram
