The stress strain curve of concrete lies between those of the aggregate and the cement paste. The aggregate is more rigid than the cement paste and will therefore deform less (i.e. have a lower strain) under the same applied stress. However this relationship is non-linear over the most of the range.

When concrete is fresh and in its liquid state it must be restrained within a mould in order for it to set in its required shape. A smooth outer surface provides the main support for the concrete as it sets. Formwork is the term used to describe this mould. For most in-situ pours, the formwork is made of wood.
