Abstract
Linear elastic analysis. Reinforced concrete is a composite material of mortar, aggregates and steel bars. Concrete presents a relatively high compressive strength, whereas its tensile strength is low. This is why steel bars are embedded in order to carry the tensile load. Concrete and steel adhere well. They possess the same coefficient of thermal expansion, α0 ≃ 1.2 × 10−5 °C−1 such that they can expand together without exerting differential displacements.
