Q: Reinforced cement concrete is strong in __
  • A. Tensile and compressive stresses
  • B. only tensile stress
  • C. only compressive stress
  • D. neither tensile nor compressive stresses
Correct Answer: Option A - Reinforced cement concrete– We know, concrete is very strong in compression strength but weak in tensile strength, where as steel is very strong in tensile strength and relatively weak in compressive strength. • Reinforced concrete is concrete combined with steel in such a way that the compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel are used to the best advantage. In this condition RCC section is strong in tensile and compressive stresses.
