Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete is a building material made by combining concrete, a strong and durable mixture of cement, sand, and gravel, with steel bars or mesh. The concrete provides compressive strength, which means it can withstand heavy loads, while the steel reinforcement adds tensile strength, allowing it to resist cracking and bending. This combination makes reinforced concrete ideal for constructing buildings, bridges, and other structures, as it can handle various stresses and lengths of time without failing. Overall, it enhances the structural integrity and longevity of constructions.
