Does Concrete Need to be Reinforced with Steel?
Some might ask, “Does concrete need to be reinforced with steel? Is this really important?” Reinforced concrete is essentially steel implanted within freshly mixed concrete, either by rods, bars or mesh, in a way that the two materials, when properly cured, bond together in resisting loads and forces. Reinforcing steel, if installed per approved plans, absorbs the shear, tensile, and sometimes the compressive loads in concrete that is reinforced with steel. Concrete that is not built with reinforcing steel may not withstand these forces caused by earthquakes, winds, vibrations, and other movable forces. Therefore, it is vital that concrete is to contain reinforcing steel to safeguard a structure is securely built.
Although reinforced concrete has been recorded since age of the Roman Empire, the expansion of this type of building was not internationally recognized until the 19th century. Concrete and reinforcing steel have developed into one of the world’s most common building components today. When correctly and accurately built per the approved plans and specifications, these reinforced concrete structures can allow the members to withstand these stresses over significant lengths of time.
