no. Too flexable and would rust too quickly.

What is meant by reinforcement in concrete?
Items used to reinforce concrete are wire mesh, rebar, and steel cables.
How much does reinforced concrete cost?
Concrete is usually reinforced by adding steel. The cost of reinforcing concrete depends with the given area under which the steel is placed to reinforce it.
Could I please have a good example of Architectural Jargon?
Rebar: The steel rods that are sued to reinforce concrete or masonry (bricks or concrete block).
What amount of steel is needed in a 50 feet by 50 feet concrete foundation?
That depends on what the foundation is for and what local law says about. Technically, you don't need any steel, since there are other ways to reinforce concrete.
What can you reinforce concrete with?
There are different forces on a materials such as Compression and Tension. Compression is pushing a material together. Tension is pulling a material apart. Concrete has good strength in Compression, but is weak in Tension. The steel reinforcement improves the resistance to tension of the concrete.
How can you calculate for 1 cubic concrete steel requirement for slab?
well , reinforcement steel required for slab is nearly 0.7 to 0.8% of the volume of concrete so if concrete is 1 cum then steel will be 1*0.7/100 =0.007 but density of steel is 7850 kg/ cum so 0.007*7850=54.95 say 55 kg per cum so steel required to reinforce 1 cum concrete for slab is approximately 55 kgs.
Will thick steel wool or thin steel wool conduct electricity better?
thin steel wool
Is steel wool a conductor?
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
Why would it be a bad idea to reinforce concrete with aluminum rods?
They do not expand equally, therefore the aluminium might crack the concrete on a hot day (or vice versa) due to this difference in expansion. i.e steel rods can be used to reinforce concrete because both materials expand equally.
What is the difference when you put water on steel wool and salt on steel wool?
the wool does not rust
Is steel wool an element or mixture?
Steel wool is a mixture.
How do you reinforce steel?
You can reinforce steel by either decreasing the span length or increasing the stiffness of the steel. Reinforcing steel improves safety and design effectiveness and decreases deflection.
