Why Concrete Is Weak Without Reinforcement

Concrete is incredibly strong in compression - but very weak in tension. That’s why engineers add reinforcement. In this video, I explain why reinforcement is needed, how rebar helps, and how ...
(MENAFN- Market Press Release) July 14, 2025 1:46 am - When working with post-tensioned concrete, safety and precision are critical. Post-tensioned (PT) slabs are reinforced with high-tension steel ...
Can you provide recommendations as to pre-construction foundation preparation. I have read where various techniques or procedures such as post tension and piers and beams are available. Thanks for all ...
Post-tensioned reinforced concrete – Yup, that’s a mouthful. Most insurance professionals are familiar with conventional reinforced concrete (rebar) used to construct slabs, walls, columns and piers.
From the looks of the average driveway or sidewalk, it may seem as though concrete is just destined to crack. But if concrete is so prone to cracking, how are we able to use it in so many high-stress ...
