In construction, concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and cement binder. The most common form of concrete is portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally crushed stone), portland cement and water. After mixing, the cement hydrates and eventually hardens into a stone-like material. When used in the generic sense, this is the material referred to by the term concrete.
The Assyrians and Babylonians used clay as cement in their concretes. The Egyptians used lime and gypsum cement. In the Roman Empire cements made from pozzolanic ash were used to make a concrete very similar to modern portland cement concrete. In 1756, British engineer John Smeaton pioneered the use of portland cement in concrete, and used pebbles and powdered brick as aggregate.
Concrete has great compressive strength, but little tensile strength. To overcome this limitation, concrete is most often constructed with the addition of steel bars (rebars), steel mesh, or cables, to produce reinforced concrete, a composite material with more balanced strength properties.
Concrete is also made with asphalt or epoxy as a binder.

Something is considered concrete if it is not abstract: it is both particular and an individual, and hence occupies both space and time. To say that a physical object is concrete is to say, approximately, that it is a particular individual that is located at a particular place and time.
See particular; individual; abstract.

In mathematics, a concrete category is a category in which, roughly speaking, all objects are sets possibly carrying some additional structure, all morphisms are functions between those sets, and the composition of morphisms is the composition of functions.Most categories considered in everyday life are concrete; examples are the category of topological spaces with continuous maps as morphisms or the category of groups with group homomorphisms as morphisms.
If C is a concrete category, then there exists a forgetful functor F : C → Set which assigns to every object of C the underlying set and to every morphism in C the corresponding function. This functor is faithful, i.e. it maps different morphisms between the same objects to different functions (it may however map different objects to the same set). In the formal approach, a concrete category is defined as a category together with a faithful functor into the category of sets.
- Are there any categories which do not allow a faithful functor into Set?

Concrete poetry is poetry in which the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem, such as meaning of words, rhythm, rhyme and so on.The term was coined in the 1950s, and in 1956 an international exhibition of concrete poetry was shown in Sao Paulo. Two years later, a Brazilian concrete poetry manifesto was published.
Although the term is quite modern, the idea of using typography to enhance the meaning of a poem is an old one. Early examples, such as the following by George Herbert (1593-1633), are often playful rather than serious:
MARY ana- -gram ARMYHow well her name an Army doth present,
In whom the Lord of Hosts did pitch his tent!Another early precursor from Herbert is "Easter Wings", where the overall typography of the poem is in the shape of its subject. More recent poets sometimes cited as influences by concrete poets include E. E. Cummings, for his various typographical innovations, and Ezra Pound, for his use of Chinese ideograms, as well as various dadaists.
Among the better known modern concrete poets in the English language are Ian Hamilton Finlay and Edwin Morgan. Several important concrete poets have also been significant sound poets, among them Henri Chopin and Bob Cobbing.
