staalconcreet
Staalconcreet is a term used to describe a steel–concrete composite material in construction, where structural steel elements are integrated with concrete to form a single, interacting system. The combination leverages the compressive strength of concrete and the tensile strength and ductility of steel, enabling efficient resistance to a range of loads.
The material typically consists of a concrete matrix with embedded steel reinforcement, such as bars or mesh,
Design and construction consider the bond between steel and concrete, differential thermal expansion, and potential durability
Common applications include building frames, floors, bridges, and parking structures where high load capacity and ductility
