Abstract:Concrete’s remarkable role in construction depends on its marriage with reinforcing steel. Concrete is very strong in compression, but weak in tension, so reinforcing steel is added to increase tensile strength, yielding structural components capable of much longer spans. Even greater strength and spans can be gained by using pre and post-tensioning cables that run through the concrete and are stressed tight. Greater spans means fewer columns, pilings, and components and shorter construction time.
