Steel rods are normally used for concrete reinforcement because concrete and steel have almost equal_________________?
Correct answer: D. Thermal co-efficient of expansion
- A. Tensile strength
- B. Compressive strength
- C. Young's modulus
- D. Thermal co-efficient of expansion
Explanation
Steel and concrete have nearly equal coefficients of thermal expansion, so temperature changes produce similar dimensional changes in both. This prevents large internal stresses at the steel-concrete interface.
