Cement is one of the many constituents of concrete, part of the glue that holds the other materials together. Concrete is made by mixing cement, supplementary cementitious materials, water, fine aggregate (sand/crushed rock fines), coarse aggregate (gravel or crushed rock) with or without admixtures, reinforcement, fibres or pigments.
