Question:

using cement in construction...........?

why is cement used in construction.how much strength does cement has.why is it mixed with sand while construction.why cant we get it constructed entirely used cement..i understand it is a cost expensive,but using cement entirely wont give a greater strength

Answer:

Cement is produced with the main purpose of binding aggregate (sand or gravel) to make concrete or mortar. The aggregate adds to the strength of the mixture. Romans used a similar mixture to what we use today and a lot of it is still standing strong.
