It depends on the moisture content of the soil, the acidity of the soil as well as other factors. "But practically, the answer is forever."

What is the name given to concrete with iron bars through it?

reinforced concrete


Define steel reinforced concrete?

Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.


How does concrete harden under water?

Concrete hardens under water through a process called hydration, where the water in the mix reacts with cement particles, forming chemical bonds that create a solid structure. This process can occur even when submerged, as long as there is sufficient water available for the reaction. The hydration continues over time, allowing the concrete to gain strength and durability, regardless of the surrounding environment. Properly mixed and placed, underwater concrete can achieve similar or even superior performance compared to concrete cured in dry conditions.


Can oxygen pass though concrete wall?

Oxygen cannot pass through a concrete wall in significant amounts because concrete is a dense and solid material. While some gases can diffuse through very small pores in concrete, the rate is extremely low and generally negligible for practical purposes. Therefore, a concrete wall effectively acts as a barrier to oxygen transmission.


With concrete reinforcement steel what does Y12 bar mean and what does R10 bar mean?

In the context of concrete reinforcement steel, a Y12 bar refers to a deformed steel bar with a diameter of 12 millimeters. The "Y" indicates that it is a high-strength deformed steel bar. On the other hand, an R10 bar refers to a round steel bar with a diameter of 10 millimeters. The "R" signifies that it is a mild steel bar without any deformations.

What does deformed steel bar mean?

Deformed steel bar is more commonly known as reinforcing bar, or rebar. These steel bars are imbedded in concrete to provide tensile strength. Smooth bars are run through rollers which "deform" the bar thereby adding ribs. The ribs provide a mechanical bond between the steel bars and the surrounding concrete.

Is solar energy a quick forming renewable resource or a slow forming resource?

Solar energy is a slow-forming renewable resource. It takes many Earth years for helium and hydrogen to worm its way through the sun's matter. After that, heat and energy must travel approximately 93 million miles to reach eArth's atmosphere.

Can electrical current flow through concrete?

Yes, electrical current can flow through concrete as it is a good conductor of electricity. However, the resistance of the concrete will depend on its moisture content and composition. Generally, wet concrete will conduct electricity better than dry concrete.
