Concrete and Steel have very similar strain values (0.0035 and 0.003). They also have very similar temperature coefficients (10e-6 and 12e-6). This means that concrete reinforced with steel will bend and deform uniformly under load and temperature changes.
Aluminum has a very different strain and temperature coefficient (0.016 and 22e-6).
This means that while, yes, aluminum can be used for concrete reinforcement, the behaviour of an aluminum-reinforced concrete beam is much more difficult to predict.
The strength of an aluminum-reinforced concrete beam would vary as the temperature changed and it would vary with the deflected shape.
I would not recommend using aluminum to reinforce concrete.

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.
Why only steel is used in reinforcement of concrete and not any other metal?
Strength and cost.
What is hybrid fiber reinforced concrete?
The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
What is the difference between lean concrete and mass concrete?
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
What are the differences between the mass concrete and reinforced concrete?
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
When is concrete used without metal reinforcement bars?
Concrete are used without reinforcement bars on concrete roads.
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 is meant by reinforcement in concrete?
Items used to reinforce concrete are wire mesh, rebar, and steel cables.
What type of stirrup is used for reinforcement concrete in Pile?
helical sttirups
How much cement used in 1m3 reinforcement cement concrete?
Which Grade?
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.
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.
Why only steel is used in reinforcement of concrete and not any other metal?
Strength and cost.
What is hybrid fiber reinforced concrete?
The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.
What are the benefits of reinforcement in concrete?
Reinforcement makes the concrete stronger, in particular it gives the concrete tensile strength as opposed to just compression strength. It must be used for certain types of foundations / types of ground and also other forms of construction too
What is the purpose of wire mesh in concrete?
Wire mesh is used in concrete to provide reinforcement and increase the strength of the concrete structure. It helps to prevent cracking and improve the overall durability of the concrete.
