Concrete

Concrete is a composite material composed of cement, water, and aggregates such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone. In aviation, concrete is commonly used for constructing runways, taxiways, and aprons at airports. The thickness and strength of the concrete used in airport construction depends on the weight and frequency of the aircraft that will be using the pavement. The concrete used in airport construction must be able to withstand heavy loads, extreme weather conditions, and constant wear and tear from aircraft. Proper maintenance and repair of concrete pavements is crucial to ensure the safety of aircraft operations.
