text: Concrete is strong in compression, as the aggregate efficiently carries the compression load.
text: Concrete is very weak when a tension force is applied to it and therefore has a very low tensile strength.
text: As discussed above, concrete is very strong in compression, but weak in tension.
text: Concrete is very strong in compression and not so strong in tension.
text: Concrete is very strong in compression and not so strong in tension.
text: So if we aren't counting on the steel to carry any load, then the concrete has to be strong enough to carry the bending.
text: Concrete is very strong when exposed to compression stresses however, it’s brittle and has limited tensile strength.
text: Concrete is strong under compression, but has weak tensile strength.
text: Concrete is a material that is very strong in compression, but relatively weak in tension.
text: Because concrete is quite strong in resisting compressive loads, but has relatively poor tensile or torsional strength, these early structures consisted of arches, vaults and domes.
text: While concrete is extremely strong in compression, it is extremely weak in tension.
text: Copyright © U.S. Department of Transportation, http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pavement/concrete/mcl9904.cfm Advantages to using concrete: Concrete is extremely strong in compression and therefore has a high compressive strength.
text: Concrete is also extremely strong in compression.)
text: Because concrete must be both strong and workable, a careful balance of the cement to water ratio is required when making concrete.
