Not really. You will need to seal the concrete surface to prevent concrete dust becoming a problem. Also, the carpet makes the floor warmer to walk on, concrete would feel cold to bare feet.
True termites don't eat concrete. I would suggest concrete just because if there is any water damage it does't effect it as much. If you had a wooden basment,humidity and temperature would have a major factor on it's annual outcome. If it is fully finished with insulation and drywall, with a concrete foundation you can use a wood flooring. Concrete is you best bet, you can put almost anything you want on top of it, carpeting, tiles, wood , I would suggest a floating wood floor if any wood at all.
between the finished grade and the concrete
Pouring a concrete slab is the pouring of a fresh unset concrete mix into a prepared area, where it is finished by floating etc to give the required surface, and it sets to form a slab.
Concrete is economical, easily formed, durable, has good strength under compression loading and can be finished in many aesthetically pleasing textures.
First, Manning's roughness coefficient is dimensionless. Second, usually unfinished concrete is assigned an n value of 0.014 whereas finished concrete is assigned an n value of 0.012.

insitu concrete is any concrete structure that is poured in its desired finished place. ie floor slabs of buildings because they are poured and never moved
Concrete cures and hardens from chemical reactions over a specific period of time. If the concrete work is not completed within the specific period of time, the fluid concrete will harden and become unworkable.

To answer this question we must first differentiate between concrete and cement. Concrete is the finished product when cement is used. Analogous to bread is the finished product when flour is used. Got it? As to how many cups in a pound of powder, consider that there are 16 ounces to the pound, and eight ounces to a cup. That makes it two cups to the pound of cement. How much concrete that would make is another matter.
Concrete will be more workable in shape and won't peel at the edges like tarseal. Concrete doesn't get slippery in the rain especially if it is finished with a brush effect.
Precast concrete is a construction element made of that material and finished before its installation in the building frame. The mix of concrete must be cast or scaffolded until it gets enough strengh to handle and support own weight.
First, Manning's roughness coefficient is dimensionless. Second, usually unfinished concrete is assigned an n value of 0.014 whereas finished concrete is assigned an n value of 0.012.
Concrete polishing is a great way to make concrete look nice when it is finished. Just make sure that the climate and weather conditions you live in support the polish so it looks good for years to come!
