Concrete is a mixture of cement and aggregate. Steel is almost always embedded in concrete to give it additional strength.
What your looking for is the chemical reaction of formed by **cement**.
Good luck

Concrete is a mixture of a water activated adhesive (cement) and a substrate, or aggregate. the aggregate provides the strength and the cement keeps it together. The chemical reaction that takes place to harden, not dry, the cement is a complex exothermic reaction that causes a cross-linking of the cement particles.
