Concrete has high compressive strength needed to sustain the weight of a structure but it has low shear strength (it can be deflected laterally ) and for this reason steel is used which prevents it from getting deflected laterally or buckle .

What are the pros and cons of concrete versus steel in building framework?
One of the pros of concrete versus steel in a building framework would be that it is cheaper to use concrete. One of the cons would be that it is not as safe to use concrete.
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 are 2 materials that they use to make a bridge?
* Steel * Concrete
Why use rebar in concrete?
Concrete is good in compression, poor in tension. Steel is good in tension, poor in tension. By the addition of reinforcing steel into concrete, you take the strengths of one material and marry it to the weakness of the other. This provides a better product capable of better performance in the field.
How do you install a toilet ring in a concrete floor?
Use a steel ring and Tapcon concrete screws or you can use shields and regular screws.
What materials does Ron Arad use?

Why are people worried about the corrision of steel in concrete bridges and buildings?
Because the steel reinforces the concrete helping to keep it from cracking all the way through. We know that concrete will eventually crack so we use steel to help it retain it's intended shape and function. If the steel corrodes to a point of weakness the concrete structure is also weakened.
Should you use steel reinforcing for sidewalks?
Best answer, there can be. In some concrete road applications, rebar web is used. Not all roadbeds are steel reinforced though. This is more common in newer bridge constructions.
When hunting ducks or geese with steel shot you should not use a shotgun with what kind of choke?
One not designed for use with steel shot.
How much steel is required for 1m3 concrete?
96kg steel bar is use in 1m3 but also depend on diameter of bar
How many kg of steel reinforcement in one cubic meter concrete?
It all depends on the type and sizes of the steel used. It also depends on the load that the concrete has to take at certain points. 7865kg is the weight of a cubic meter of steel. Typical examples; A pile cap could contain 400kg/m3 A heavy duty industrial slab or structure could contain 200kg-400kg/m3 A footpath could contain 40kg/m3 (all depends on the design, but numbers above should give you a rough answer)
