When the slab is loaded and force applied to it,
the top of the slab directly under the load will be put in compression.
However at the bottom of the slab. the concrete will pull itself in tension.
Put the ends of your fingers together than flex your wrist up.
You will feel the pressure at the top of your fingertips and
you will see a gap open at the bottom.
That is what is happening in a slab.
Concrete is strong in compression, poor in tension.
Rebar, or steel, is the opposite.
By combining the two, you develop a product that is superior
and complimentary to the strengths and weaknesses of the individual materials.
