The weight of reinforced concrete varies depending upon the mix type. The engineering industry typically assumes a weight of 145 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and most often uses 150 pcf for structural calculations. Note that this is for standard cured reinforced concrete. Lightweight concrete is generally taken as 110 to 120 pcf, again, depending upon the mix design. The fact that there is sometimes more or less steel reinforcement within the structural member is ignored.

What rock was used to make the Christ the Redeemer?
Reinforced concrete and soapstone.
Why iron metal is used in building construction?
It deals with the tension and compression of the concrete. Concrete is a really great material when in comes to compression. It has a high strength in compression but little in the way of tension. You can test this for your self. Get a small unreinforced piece of concrete and pull it apart it ( put it in tension) and it breaks fairy easily. Now, try pushing together (put it in compression) and it doesn't break anywhere near as easily, if you can break it at all. Steel is the opposite. It has more strength in tension than in compression. Putting steel bars in concrete allows you to have good strength in compression and in tension. In an easy way to understand it and get the general idea, when the reinforced concrete is under tension, the steel bars take over, and when the reinforced concrete is under compression, the concrete takes over.
How many cubic meters of reinforced concrete are there on an average house?
The only place you'll find concrete on the "average house" is its footing. The average house footing will contain between 5 and 8 cubic yards (3.8 and 6.1 cubic meters) of concrete. Note: house footings contain very little or no reinforcement.
How much does a cubic yard of concrete weight underwater?
about 1/6 of that on land
Should you use steel reinforcing for sidewalks?
Best answer, there can be. In some concrete road applications, rebar web is used. Not all roadbeds are steel reinforced though. This is more common in newer bridge constructions.

What is the Weight capacity for reinforced concrete floors?
Reinforced concrete floors can be designed for a wide range of loads. Different thicknesses and shapes of concrete and arrangements of reinforcing will have different strengths.
What would stay up in a flood concrete or reinforced concrete?
More likely reinforced concrete.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of reinforced concrete beam and column?
reinforced concrete prise
How do you make reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.
Define steel reinforced concrete?
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.

Why it is called a biaxial voided slab?
Voided biaxial slabs are reinforced concrete slabs in which voids reduce the amount of concrete.While concrete has been used for thousands of years, the use of reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention, usually attributed to Joseph-Louis Lambot in 1848. Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patented a design for reinforced garden tubs in 1868, and later patented reinforced concrete beams and posts for railway and road guardrails.The main obstacle with concrete constructions, in case of horizontal slabs, is the high weight, which limits the span. For this reason major developments of reinforced concrete have focused on enhancing the span, either by reducing the weight or overcoming concrete's natural weakness in tension
When does plain concrete become reinforced?
Reinforced concrete has steel bars embedded in it. It is also called re-barred concrete.

What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
