Since you're already using concrete, not much point in using the lighter, weaker, and more expensive aluminium. And lead is really weak, environmentally hazardous and more expensive than iron.

Define steel reinforced concrete?
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
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.
Why the partial safety factor of concrete is higher than that for steel?
because concrete is unpredictable than steel
What additional step will you need to conduct when explosively-breaching reinforced concrete?
Use a steel cutting charge after
What can break reinforced steel?
Concrete can be reiforced by using steel; steel can not be reinforced

Why concrete bridges have steel rods inside them?
The steel rods are there to strengthen the concrete - making it reinforced concrete.
How do you calculate the vol of steel to a given vol of concrete?
how calculate steel in concrete
What was the Tacoma Bridge made out of?
The basic matetrials were 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.

Concrete is unpredictable compared to steel...
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.
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.
