Introduction to Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete, with its remarkable strength and durability, has become a foundation in the construction industry. It is a composite material that combines the compressive strength of concrete with the tensile strength of steel reinforcement, making it capable of withstanding diverse loads and stresses. However, despite its inherent resilience, reinforced concrete is not impervious to damage. It is susceptible to a range of factors that can compromise its structural integrity and longevity. Environmental conditions, such as exposure to moisture, aggressive chemicals, and temperature variations, can trigger corrosive reactions and weaken the concrete and steel components. Additionally, excessive loads, whether from static or dynamic forces, can strain the material and lead to cracks, deformation, or even collapse. Effective measures need to be implemented to mitigate potential damages and maintain its structural integrity over time. In cases where damage has already occurred, appropriate treatments are crucial to restore and strengthen the reinforced concrete. The selection and application of suitable repair materials, such as epoxy resins or polymer-modified mortars, play a pivotal role in restoring the structural integrity and extending the service life of the concrete. In this context, this chapter raises discussions with the aims to explore the various aspects of reinforced concrete, a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and measures of protection that it might face.
