![]() ![]() Reinforcing steel has excellent strength in both compression and tension loads but is more expensive than concrete. However plain concrete is relatively weak in tension (typically can only carry one tenth (1/10) of its compression strength in tension). Compressing a plain concrete cube or cylinder requires a relatively large amount of compressive force before reaching compression failure. Plain concrete is a strong material in compression. Reinforced concrete structures are composed of two different materials
