Concrete is a brittle material that is weak in tension. Reinforcing steel bars are often added to concrete structures to resist tensile forces that would otherwise cause cracking and failure. The steel reinforcement takes up the tensile stresses while the concrete resists compressive stresses, allowing the combination of concrete and steel reinforcement to form an efficient structural material.
