GLOBAL CEMENT: THE LAST WORD

摘要

Concrete has a lot of advantages over other building materials - relatively low-cost, ease of use, ubiquity, familiarity, strength and proven durability among them. Those in the industry know this already, but those outside do not (even to the extent of not knowing the difference between cement and concrete). Often, those outside the industry view concrete as grafitti-ridden, decaying and brutal, often from their own experiences. Alas, the viewpoint on concrete can be biased by myriad poor examples, rather than the rarer excellent examples. Additionally, other building materials seem to be driving their message home to consumers better than the cement and concrete industries (just think about what you think, when you think about wood). It's time for cement and concrete to fight back.
