What is "reinforced concrete"?
Reinforced concrete is a construction material made from concrete that has been strengthened with steel bars or mesh, known as reinforcement. This combination allows the material to resist tension and bending forces, making it much stronger than plain concrete. Reinforced concrete is widely used in various construction projects, including buildings, bridges, and highways, due to its durability and ability to withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. The steel reinforcement helps prevent cracking and structural failure, providing safety and longevity to the structures built with this material.
