Why steel is used in concrete?

[Srinivasan]

why steel is used in column as column is a compressive member?

 

[R P Mall]

when applied load on top of column due to height of column bending moment developed in column so steel provided in column to balance of bending stress

 

[Kiran r]

To get support and strength according to the respective designs according to the plan.

 

[Suman Roy]

To resist the bending stress , lateral stress and also wind actions.

 

[Nannaka Nageswara Rao]

To resist flexural strength

 

[KP Tomar]

In a axial loading.There are two type of forces
1. Tension force Or 2. Compression force
Acting on body

The steel is good in tension and compression strength but concrete is only good in compression strength
The long column is break Or failure due to Buckling of column
you seen in a fig the inner edge of column is in compression but outer edge of column is in tension
if you want more details go to you tube

 

[johnswa]

Steel and concrete has almost equal coefficient of thermal expansion.

 

[santosh basnet]

to prevent from buckling of the column due to axial load

 

[Arun ak]

In order over come the failure of column
