Source sentences:
text: When the concrete sets and hardens around the bars, we get a new composite material, reinforced concrete (also called reinforced cement concrete or RCC), that works well in either tension or compression: the concrete resists squeezing (provides the compressive strength), while the steel resists bending and stretching (provides the tensile strength).
text: Most high-performance concretes produced today contain materials in addition to portland cement to help achieve the compressive strength or durability performance.
text: High-strength concrete has a compressive strength greater than 40 MPa (5800 psi).
