Reinforced Concrete Design

Reinforced concrete design involves creating strong, durable structures by combining concrete with embedded steel reinforcement (rebar). Concrete handles compressive forces well, while steel resists tension and bending. Engineers analyze how loads, such as weight and forces, affect the structure and determine the right size, shape, and placement of steel bars to ensure safety and stability. This coordinated design ensures the structure can withstand daily use and environmental stresses over time, making it reliable for buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.
