Im sure you have realized when walking down a side walk there are separations in the concrete. That is because without the separations there would be alot of perssure on the big piece of concrete, the land shifts causing the concrete to crack. Once the concrete has cracked water that freezes in it also causes the cracks to expand.

What is safer over reinforced concrete or under reinforced concrete?

Under-reinforced concrete is generally considered safer than over-reinforced concrete. This is because under-reinforced concrete will fail in a ductile manner, allowing for noticeable deformation and warning signs before catastrophic failure occurs. In contrast, over-reinforced concrete can fail suddenly and brittlely due to excessive steel reinforcement, potentially leading to more dangerous situations. Therefore, under-reinforced designs are preferred for safety in structural applications.


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
