Steel rods are used in reinforced concrete to increase its ______________ strength?
Correct answer: B. Tensile
- A. Shear
- B. Tensile
- C. Compressive
- D. None of these
Explanation
Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so steel rods are embedded mainly to carry tensile stresses and control cracking. Their contribution is therefore described as increased tensile strength.
