REINFORCED CONCRETE PRODUCTS
Completion requirements
•Reinforced
concrete is a
building material that combines advantageously the load-bearing abilities of
concrete and of steel, which differ greatly in mechanical properties.
•
Depending on the reinforcing technique and the state of reinforcement, distinction is made between
•common
•and prestressed
reinforced
concrete.
•
There are two kinds of tensioning:
•pretensioning, or tensioning
the reinforcement before the concrete hardens,
•and post-tensioning, or
tensioning the concrete after it acquires a specified strength.
