Inorganic Chemistry II
Reinforced concrete is a composite material that combines concrete with steel reinforcement bars (rebar) to improve its tensile strength and overall structural integrity. This combination allows the concrete to withstand various stresses and forces, making it a preferred choice in construction for beams, slabs, and columns. The synergy between concrete's compressive strength and steel's tensile strength provides durability and resilience in buildings and infrastructure.
congrats on reading the definition of reinforced concrete. now let's actually learn it.
