Reinforced concrete structures are integral components or constructions that leverage a combination of concrete and reinforcing materials to augment their strength and durability. In these structures, D&A Construction utilises steel reinforcement, typically in the form of bars or mesh, embedded within the concrete to enhance its tensile strength, addressing a potential weakness in conventional concrete.
The main objective of incorporating reinforcing materials is to bolster the concrete’s ability to withstand diverse loads, including tension, compression, bending, and shear forces. This strategic amalgamation of concrete and steel results in a composite structure that optimises the compressive strength of concrete while reinforcing its capacity to resist tension.
