Characteristics of reinforced concrete structure

04-03

The main characteristics of reinforced concrete structures include material combination advantages, good durability, strong integrity and seismic resistance, but there are limitations such as large self-weight and poor crack resistance, as follows:

Core features (advantages)

‌Material performance complementary

Concrete has high compressive strength and good tensile strength of steel bars. After the combination of the two, it forms a high-strength structure and can withstand large loads.

‌Durability and Fire Resistance

The steel bars are wrapped in concrete, which effectively prevents rust and can also enhance corrosion resistance through special processes.
Concrete has good thermal insulation performance, the steel bars are not easy to soften during fire, and their fire resistance is better than pure steel structures.

Integrity and seismic resistance

The cast-in-place structure is strong integrity and can effectively resist impact loads such as earthquakes and storms.

The structural design is flexible and can be used in combination with steel structures, etc. to improve seismic resistance.

‌Easy and Economy of Materials

The main materials (sand, stone, cement) are widely sourced and have low costs, which are suitable for large-scale applications.

Are steel rods the same as stainless steel rods?

There are obvious differences in composition, performance and use of steel rods and stainless steel rods‌. Steel rods are a broader concept, while stainless steel rods are one of the steels with special corrosion resistance. When choosing a material, you should decide which material to use according to the specific needs and scenarios.
