Reinforced concrete is an essential tool in modern construction. This is made by combining reinforcement and concrete. The reinforcement can be made of many different materials; however, the material must have a high tensile strength and also be stiff. Concrete is an outstanding material to resist compression, fire, and outside chemicals but it is weak in tension. This is why these two materials are so important together. The video gives the history of reinforced concrete and also explains how reinforcement is conceptually designed in reinforced concrete. This will be useful to designers and also contractors.

    This bloke really reinforced his point at the end of the video. Thanks mate
  • Watching your video should help reenforce our diligence. Also thanks for the history lesson.
  • @JRCme1
    This is the first construction video that moved me to tears and calmed my fears!
  • Hey Tyler. I’m a reinforcing rod worker apprentice that just recently finished my level one training. We’ve watched most of your videos in class and they really helped us out a lot .
  • France during that period produced a number of exceptional thinkers and tinkers- Darcy's theories and formulas re how water (fluids) move through various densities of strata is still big when planning both water and oil wells. It was the industrial revolution and it's needs that were really receptive to new ideas. Bravo for shining a little more light on those tinkers and thinkers!FR

    this video is so clear and straightforward, amazing work!!

    Thank you for making me a concrete freak too! I will be building a home in the Philippines and I have been studying SRC and many other aspects of civil engineering so I may be certain my home is built strong and safe. I have learned so much from you and your colleagues.
  • Hahaha! He was a gardener? Excellant. i have been in horticulture 60 years! And concrete work was a big part of our lives in creating things! In College , i even took a 3 day intensive field class of the properties of concrete. In 1980, there was 2 of us women in that class of 25! That 1 weekend class gave me the science of concrete! As a landscaper & now on small ranch- thar knowledge has helped when i bulit my big corral & horse shelters! Love your channel!

    I love how enthusiastic you are about concrete. This is the wonder of the internet. We can get connected to so many people who are so into their niche which gives us quality content like this.
  • @bergsten2561
    Brilliant. So many fantastically confounding topics covered in one video, abridged comprehensively . Thank you for your enthusiasm and diligence!!!!!!!!!!
  • nice watch from someone who makes up rebar beams/cages for construction , now i want to see it being used and concrete being poured !
  • @dannycbe949
    I am 60 year old structural engineer...my teachers never had this kind of passion ... Thanks. 👍
  • @jonremmers1828
    This is so good! Love the narrating style! And lots of useful info. Thanks!
  • @zerg9523
    Another terrific video, enjoyed from the UK, thanks prof Ley.
  • @roygbiv5164
    The enthusiasm he shares during his videos could make any topic interesting, his subject: concrete. Viv la concrete!
  • Thanks Tyler! Complexity broken up into simple concepts & practical solutions. Also, the gray background is perfect.
  • @zack0medi
    hello from Malaysia. great video! the way you give the explanation surely shows you're a concrete freak, and i love it! keep em coming
  • @j81851
