Concrete Design

Concrete design involves planning and creating concrete structures—like buildings, bridges, and roads—that are strong, durable, and safe. Engineers determine the right mixture of cement, water, aggregates, and additives to withstand forces such as weight, pressure, and environmental conditions. They also calculate the appropriate size, shape, and reinforcement (like steel bars) to ensure the structure can perform as intended over its lifespan. Proper design balances strength, durability, functionality, and cost, ensuring the concrete can handle daily use and environmental stresses without failure.
