Pure cement can be used as a building material in theory, but the most common application of cement is as a binder that holds other materials together. Concrete is made by adding water to a mixture of cement (the binder) and sand, pebbles, and gravel (the aggregate), which cures to form a solid structure. Which reasons could explain why concrete is used to make structures rather than pure cement?
