Reinforced concrete structure is a composite material consist of concrete and steel reinforcing bar, which both concrete and steel bar are complementing each other in term of strength and durability. Explain with sketches the following topics: i. How concrete and steel bar work as a composite in a structural behaviour. ii. How concrete protect steel reinforcement so that the composite can last for its design life. Your answer may include the design and properties of concrete cover.
