This paper presents a synthesis of the historical evolution of both the making and the use of concrete as a building construction material. It is shown a list of dates and works that have used this material since 5,600 b.C. Many concrete works are mentioned; its use is so widespread that it has become one of the best humans’ friends. For this reason, it has been used in house buildings, works of art, aqueducts, and buildings for religious purposes, aiming fundamentally to make human life more comfortable. Among all the unnumbered works mentioned, it is presented a report of the most modern buildings built with high performance concrete, which proves its versatility as a material from both the architectonic and structural viewpoints, besides its durability.Downloads
