Types oF Cracks In Reinforced Concrete

Lambot was the first person to use reinforced concrete. He did so by using iron bars and wire mesh to reinforce several concrete rowboats.

Reinforced concrete, or RCC, is concrete that contains embedded steel bars, plates, or fibers that strengthen the material. The capability to carry loads by these materials is magnified, and because of this RCC is used extensively in all construction. Reinforced materials are embedded in the concrete in such a way that the two materials resist the applied forces together. The compressive strength of concrete and the tensile strength of steel form a strong bond to resist these stresses over a long span.
