		Reinforced concrete (Ferro concrete) is plain concrete in which steel reinforcement rods or bars ("rebars") have been incorporated to strengthen the naturally brittle concrete.
		Firstly, the coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete is very nearly identical to that of steel, preventing internal stresses due to differences in thermal expansion or contraction.
		In wet and freezing climates, reinforced concrete for roads, bridges, parking structures and other structures that may be exposed to deicing salt require epoxy-coated rebar.

		Plain concrete will carry extremely high compressive stresseses, but any appreciable tensile will cause rupture and consequent failure.
		For this reason, plain concrete cannot be used for any structural member subject to bending or direct tensile action.
		Concrete will have reached its nominal design strength at most 28 days after the pour.
