Why is the reinforcement bars place at the bottom of the simple supported beam?
When a simply supported beam is subject to bending; the top of the beam will be subject to compression, and the bottom of the beam will be subject to tension (think about the bottom of the beam stretching as it bends i.e. tension). Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so steel reinforcement is added to allow it to resist this tension and carry bending sufficiently. Note: bars are generally added to the compression side too but that's for another day.
Difference between top and bottom steel in beam?
When steel bars are placed on both sides of a concrete beam, one side resists tensile forces and the other side resists compressive forces. The presence of tension or compression on top or bottom depends on the type of structure.
What is the difference between the singly reinforced beam and doubly reinforced beam?
A singly reinforced beam only has steel reinforcement on the tension side (along the bottom of the cross section) where as a doubly reinforced beam has steel reinforcement on both the tension and compression sides, ie. the top and bottom of the cross section.
Why steel is used to reinforce concrete explain it?
There are two main loading conditions that concrete under goes. These are Compression and Tension. Concrete is very strong in compression and is very weak in Tension (pulling apart). Concrete has so little strength to resist tension it is assumed to have no strength in tension. When civil engineers design concrete structures they can determine where the tension and compression will be located. Steel is added to give the concrete tensile strength. For Example a concrete beam when loaded from the top will experience compression on top section of the beam. The top portion of the beam will push inwards creating compression while the bottom section will pull apart creating tension. (Imagine a smile shape). :) Therefore reinforcement will be needed in the tension area (bottom).
What is Reinforced cement concrete-RCC?
Concrete is very strong in compression but weak in tension. RCC is concrete with reinforcing steel bars in it. Steel is a really good material in tension. Steel carries the tensile load and thus RCC is strong in tension too. However, designers still try to ensure concrete is in compression wherever possible.

Does Mild steel have good compression?
No, it is good in tension.

What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?
Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.
Why are bridges made of steel and concrete?
Steel is used for its high tensile strength and the concrete is used for its high compression strength.
is the bottom stainless as well?
The Whirlpool over the range microwave oven in stainless steel is also stainless steel on the bottom.
What is stronger steel or granite?
I don't know if diamond is considered a rock but otherwise diamond is the hardest mineral. Diamonds are created by the compression of minerals deep inside the the crust (Thinnest layer of the Earth)
