@mateenq2: Why do engineers require steel rebar in concrete columns. It seems unnecessary since columns work in compression and we mainly need steel reinforcement in columns to be able to make up for concrete being weak in tension. When engineers are designing things for the real world we need to take into account many different loading scenarios that could occur. This includes unbalanced forces that could be acting on columns which would introduce tensile stresses. Steel also is stronger than concrete in compression so rebar improves its axial capacity in compression. There are many other reasons but these are just some of the main ones. #engineering #construction #structuralengineering #civilengineering #engineeringstudent

There’s also temperature and shrinkage stresses

you really make me want to get a civil degree instead of electrical is the pay really that bad ?

why even use concrete and not stick with steel and maybe stone?

thank you. I appreciate your insight into something I have no experience with.
