Inventor Thomas Edison designed and built concrete homes and concrete furniture, and drew up plans for a concrete piano.
Concrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot. One cubic yard of concrete weighs about two tons.
The first concrete domed stadium was built in 1967 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
The word concrete comes from the Latin concretus, meaning "grown together" or "compounded."
Narrator: It's a simple substance that's literally become the building block of our civilization. We pour it, mold it now we can even bend it. The main component of everything from roads and runways to buildings and bridges. Now: Concrete, on Modern Marvels.
