Constituent Materials of Concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of a binder, which is typically cement, rough and fine aggregates, which are usually stone and sand, and water. These comprise the constituent materials of concrete.
Concrete is an example of a material that is strong in compression and weak in tension. This is why it is useful in walls, such as brick walls, where all the forces from the bricks, the upper floors and the roof act as compressive forces on the concrete bricks. Tension is a force that stretches something.oncrete is an example of a material that is strong in compression and weak in tension.
