Plus, after having passed a mileage increase by a large margin, the school district here recently completed more than $50 million in construction projects. READ MORE >>

Concrete Facts From ARMCA

Concrete is completely non-combustible
C oncrete provides the best fire resistance of any building material.  It does not burn, it cannot be 'set on fire' like other materials in a building and it does not emit any toxic fumes, smoke or drip molten particles when exposed to fire.  Concrete and its mineral constituents enjoy the highest fire resistance classification.

This excellent fire performance is due in the main to concrete's constituent materials (i.e. cement and aggregates) which, when chemically combined, form a material that is essentially inert and has poor thermal conductivity.  It is this slow rate of heat transfer that enables concrete to act as an effective fire shield not only between adjacent spaces but also to protect itself from fire damage.
