Concrete is composed of cement and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, coarse aggregate made of crushed stone, fine aggregate such as sand, water, and chemical admixtures.

In reinforced concrete, steel is introduced in to the concrete.

In plain concrete, no steel reinforcement is introduced.

Generally tensile and compressive strength is taken by reinforced concrete and only compressive strength is taken by plain concrete

Why do engineers use reinforced concrete?

Concrete is a material which is extremely effective when loaded in compression, yet performs poorly when loaded in tension. Steel on the other hand is quite effective in tension. Reinforced concrete uses steel bars wherever the concrete is loaded in tension in order to increase its capacity.


When does plain concrete become reinforced?

Reinforced concrete has steel bars embedded in it. It is also called re-barred concrete.


Who made reinforced concrete?

Why is reinforced concrete better than normall concrete?

reinforced concrete is better than unreinforced concrete for one major reason. concrete is an extremely strong material when it is put under pressure. however, when tension forces are introduced it will tend to fail without reinforcement. short answer: unreinforced concrete will handle a lot of weight, but it is very brittle. source: carpenter
