About this document
Disadvantages of High Strength Concrete by Anthony Dernellis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of reinforced concrete as a construction material. Some disadvantages include its tensile strength being 1/10 of its compressive strength, cracking due to shrinkage which reduces strength, and the relatively high cost of casting forms. However, reinforced concrete also has advantages such as high compressive strength, durability, ability to withstand tensile stresses, and being economical for large complex structures. The document aims to highlight bot
