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.
