Why is there reinforcing steel in concrete?

Reinforcing steel is inserted into concrete structures to add some strength under tension. Concrete is strong under compression: it can take a lot of weight that is trying to compress or squash it, but it is not strong under tension. Steel is strong under tension. Imagine a concrete post or column. If it is stood vertically a heavy weight can be placed on it without any damage to it even if it is quite thin and narrow. Each part of the column all the way up its length, even though only small in area, can bear the weight because it is a compressive force. Now picture the same concrete post poking horizontally out from a cliff face. If a heavy weight is hung on the outer end of the post the weight will be pulling down trying to bend it. This puts the top of the post under tension: it is trying to stretch to form that bend, and the bottom face of the post is under compression. A heavy weight will take the concrete at the top side of the post beyond the amount of tension it can resist. If we could watch the failure in slow motion, we would see the crack start at the top and travel through the post until it broke completely. If the post had reinforcing rods of steel within it, the steel near the top face would provide the tensile strength so that a much larger load could be borne by the post under tension. In buildings these tensile loads can be found in beams, and in columns under side loads such as wind and earthquakes.
