Introduction • These seemingly normal walls provide a multitude of benefits, about which you will learn here. • Structurally, concrete walls are set up for a particular purpose within a yard and may serve as a statement structure like a tiered system of walls, designed to transform any inclined exterior into a beautiful landscape that is not just beautiful, but is functional as well. • Apart from that, concrete provides many performance benefits that can improve the sustainability of any structure as given in next slides.
Flooding • Concrete is inherently water resistant and is suitable for constructions that are intended to be waterproof. • The degree to which a structure can provide protection from flood waters is determined by the concrete specifications and the design details. • If flooding does affect your home, the cleanup and restoration process will be significantly faster and less expensive if the core structure of your home is this strong.
Temperature Regulations • Being a heavyweight material, concrete has the ability to absorb, store and release heat due to the property of thermal mass- this helps in regulating the temperature inside homes. • This means by using a simple HVAC system you can usually maintain a regular temperature with little extra energy use.
Fire Protection • Concrete is virtually fireproof, and can maintain airtight construction that prevents smoke from spreading, while maintaining building strength during fires. • It does not release any toxic fumes and drip molten particles during fires. • It will also make the clean-up after a fire easier.
Durability • Concrete walls have considerable reserve strength along with the ability to accommodate future alterations. • Ensuring the structure of a house is secure and the foundations are secure is so important. • Many builders today will use things like house reblocking when building a house for this reason – its strong, reliable and will last for years and years to come.
Environment-Friendly Construction • Lightweight concrete blocks and low strength concrete absorb carbon dioxide quickly which reduces the carbon footprint of construction. • Hence, with concrete retaining walls in your home, you are looking at environment-friendly construction.
