| Abstract | One of the principles for designing reinforced concrete is maximize the use of both the concrete and steel strength [1]. While there are distinct advantages of joint work of the two materials there are also shortcomings. Among them are their different strain abilities under loading. Under stretching concrete loses its integrity under strains 400-500 times less than the reinforcement within it. Hence we are forced to design structures with cracks in the concrete and also employ prestressing of steel. This problem may be solved to a considerable extent by developing reinforced concrete structures with self-regulating steel stress [2] and corresponding concrete compression [3]. |
