What else can I help you with?
Why does not use other material instead of steel for concrete work?
Because of the thermal compactablity of the steel the material is used in concrete
What do poured concrete cages do?
They for strength for concrete structures. Concrete, like masonry, is strong in compression (forces downward on it) but not in tension (stretched out). Therefore the steel gives the concrete tensile strength.
What is the main material towers are made out of?
Steel and concrete.
Material of the veterans memorial bridge in Louisiana?
Steel and Concrete.
What is more fire resistant steel or concrete?
Concrete is much more fire resistant. This is shown by the design of reinforced concrete structure where the steel is placed within the concrete. A major reason is that the concrete protects the steel from any fire. Steel only construction requires the steel to be covered in a fire protection material.
What are advantages and disadvantages of Concrete?
Concrete: *Pros: Extremely strong in compression, can be poured into a form on-site, or pre-fabricated. Can be poured and cured under water, if necessary *Cons: Very weak under tension, though this can be moderated with steel reinforcement
What is heavier a steel beam or concrete beam?
Steel is heavier than concrete for the same volume, however steel buildings are generally lighter. This is because steel buildings utilize high strength of steel, so volume of steel in steel buildings is much smaller than volume of concrete in concrete buildings. In another words in steel buildings much less volume of material is needed for the same strength compared to concrete buildings.
What is a composition of a material?
It would all depend on what the material is. Different material, different molecular composition.Composite MaterialsThere are different kinds of strength- tension (pulling) ?. steel rods- compression (pushing) ?. concreteTo enable the structure to withstand both types of forces acting on it, a composite material is used - reinforced concrete(concrete poured over steel rebar (rods).
What are rebar use for?
Rebar locators are used to find exactly where the reinforcing steel is located under concrete in existing materials. They are most often used for renovation or remodeling projects.
What matereals is the humber bridge made out of?
Mainly re-enforced concrete (concrete that's been set around steel rods). The cables are made from many long strands of steel.
Which is costly steel structures or concrete structures?
Concrete structures are more costly than steel structures. Both types of material are the dominant materials that are used in building homes and offices.
At what depth should the reinforcing be placed in a concrete garage floor supported by a concrete wall on all four sides and poured on compacted fill?
Steel re-inforcing in concrete should always be placed 1/3 of the depth from the bottom. A 6" thick slab would have the steel placed 2" off the bottom.
