1. Durability: Concrete can withstand heat, cold, and chemicals. It hardly deteriorates.
2. Mouldability: This means that concrete can be moulded easily, into whatever shape desired when it is still fresh.
3. Resistance to Chemicals: Concrete with low water content can withstand chemical effects and vice-versa.
4. Resistance to Fire: Some concrete referred to as quart and quartzite are highly resistant to fire.
5. High Compressive Strength: This means that concrete can carry great loads, depending on the aggregate ratio used.
