Abstract

In a structure, concrete and steel work hand-in-hand, each complementing the other's strong point. Concrete is best used when in compression, and steel complements this with its excellent tensile  properties. The mechanical properties of both steel and concrete have improved tremendously in the past decade. Today concrete producers are providing prestressed members to make structures that were   unheard of 10 years ago.
