Reinforced concrete elements
In 1849 a French engineer, Joseph Monier, made some concrete flower tubs reinforced by casting wire mesh into the concrete and later, in 1867, he took out a patent for the process of strengthening concrete by embedding steel in concrete. Some years later Francois Hennebique applied monier's idea to building and engineering when he developed structures. Concrete piles and later reinforced concrete structures. Today reinforced concrete is one of the two structural materials used in engineering and building works. Concrete is strong in resisting compressive stress but comparatively weak in resisting tensile stress. The tensile strength of concrete is between one tenth and one twentieth of its compressive strength. Steel, which has good tensile strength, is cast into reinforced concrete members in the position or positions where maximum tensile stress occurs
