| Résumé : |
By itself, concrete has enormous compressive strength but little tensile capacity. Thus, an unreinforced concrete column can support a large load, but a beam has minimal strength without reinforcing steel. Reinforcing steel, also known as rebar, first came into common use near the end of the nineteenth century. Since then, reinforced concrete has become a preferred building material for water storage and conveyance structures, providing great strength and many possible configurations. These advantages, however, come with the challenge of protecting rebar, which is essential for long-term durability. |
