Concrete
-process of making the material: composed primarily of aggregate, cement and water.-how long will it last: for a long time (depending on the environment)
-what makes them corrode: acid rain
-structural pros: recyclable, cheap
-structural cons: has weak tension and shear
-what they are typically used for: architectural structures, brick/block walls, foundations, bridges, roads, footings
-environmental impacts: greenhouse gas emissions
Glass
-process of making the material: involves two main methods – the float glass process which produces sheet glass and glass blowing.
-how long will it last: long time
-what makes them corrode: chemicals
-structural pros: can be manipulated using a variety of ways to increase the appeal of the material
-what they are typically used for: windows, mirrors
-environmental impacts: recyclable and dangerous if glass shatters
