concrete in very good in compression,but its capacity to withstand tension forces are comparatively very weak. steel is very good to withstand tensile forces,thats why we provide reinforcement in concrete.And the installation of reinforcement is such a way that it comes at those part of concrete where tension is maximum.
second point must be consider that both matterial thermal expansivity is same. other wise we could use other metal
What else can I help you with?
When is concrete used without metal reinforcement bars?
Concrete are used without reinforcement bars on concrete roads.
Why is concrete reinforcement wire mesh called BRC?
Concrete reinforcement mesh is not called BRC. BRC is the name of a company that supplies reinforcement and it may be that the buyer has specified that it is supplied by BRC.
How serious is the bulge in concrete?
Buldge is nothing but additional cover, provided reinforcement is not displaced. As such it is not structurally harmful if treated as properly.
Why is a L provided for column reinforcement in footings?
foundation reinforcement
Which reinforcement is safe under or over reinforcement?
Under reinforcement is safe because in this case steel fails before concrete.
Doubly reinforced concrete vs singly reinforced?
if reinforcement is provided in tension zone in a beam, then that beam is called singly reinforced beam.if the reinforcement is provided in top & bottom of the beam i.e., at tension zone as well as compression zone also then that beam is called doubly reinforced beam.
What is the instrument used to check the reinforcement bar in concrete member?
A cover meter determines the distance from the outside face of the concrete to the depth of the reinforcement bar.
How is microfiber used as a reinforcement in concrete structures?
Microfiber is used as a reinforcement in concrete structures to improve their strength and durability. The small fibers are added to the concrete mix to help control cracking and increase the overall toughness of the structure. This reinforcement helps to enhance the performance of the concrete and make it more resistant to various stresses and strains.
What happens when concrete has no steel reinforcement?
The concrete would be weaker, and more prone to cracking.
What is the technical name of the steel using in concrete?
Reinforcement
What is the Uses of the steel rod reinforcement?
to support the concrete
What is reinforced concrete used for?
Actually concrete is not very good in tension therefore we have to introduce reinforcement which takes care of the tensile stresses. If we don't provide reinforcement, concrete will start showing cracks wherever tensile stresses overcome the concrete tensile strength.
