What is the main function of steel reinforcement in concrete?
Correct Answer: Steel reinforcement helps in resisting tensile forces in concrete.
- Step 1: Understand that concrete is a building material that is very strong when pushed or squeezed (compression).
- Step 2: Know that concrete is not strong when pulled or stretched (tension).
- Step 3: Learn that steel reinforcement is added to concrete to help it handle these pulling forces.
- Step 4: Realize that the combination of concrete and steel makes structures stronger and safer.
