Concrete is a rigid material. When you try to bend or stretch it, it will break. Reinforcing steel is used in concrete to increase the tensile strength while enhancing the ability for it to bend without cracking. Concrete has great compressive strength. When under a compressive load you will not see it crush in a normal working scenario. Its hardness and high compressive strength are why it’s used on almost every construction project.
