Concrete and Reinforced


Concrete
Concrete is a mixture of sand, gravel, crushed rock, or other aggregates held together
in a rocklike mass with a paste of cement and water. Sometimes one or more
admixtures are added to change certain characteristics of the concrete such as its
workability, durability, and time of hardening. As with most rocklike substances,
concrete has a high compressive strength and a very low tensile strength. Reinforced
concrete is a combination of concrete and steel wherein the steel reinforcement
provides the tensile strength lacking in the concrete. Steel reinforcing is also capable of
resisting compression forces and is used in columns as well as in other situations, which
are described later.

Prestressed Concrete

Prestressed concrete is structural concrete


in which internal stresses have been
introduced to reduce potential tensile
stresses in the concrete resulting from loads.
This introduction of internal stresses is called
“prestressing” and is usually accomplished
through the use of tendons that are
tensioned or pulled tight prior to being
anchored to the concrete. Common
pretensioned members in buildings and
parking garages include hollow core sections
and double-tee sections.
