Use of Reinforced Concrete. Many different types of structures and components of structures can be built using reinforced concrete elements including

large shear loads on structures. These shear loads subject the structure to both tensile and compressional loads. Concrete structures without reinforcement

counteracted to the desired degree. Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for

projects to parking structures, K-12 schools, warehouses, mixed-use, and industrial building construction. By producing precast concrete in a controlled environment

of reinforced concrete structures has been recently introduced in national and international regulations. It is required that structures are designed to

Design of concrete structures (abbreviated EN 1992 or, informally, EC 2) specifies technical rules for the design of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed

Offshore concrete structures, or concrete offshore structures, are structures built from reinforced concrete for use in the offshore marine environment

in. This allows a user of the concrete to be confident that the structure will perform properly. Various types of concrete have been developed for specialist
