oncrete and reinforced concrete are used as building materials in every country. In many, including the United States and Canada, reinforced concrete is a dominant structural material in engineered construction. The universal nature of reinforced concrete construction stems from the wide availability of reinforcing bars and the constituents of concrete, gravel, sand, and cement, the relatively simple skills required in concrete construction, and the economy of reinforced concrete compared to other forms of construction. Concrete and reinforced concrete are used in bridges, buildings of all sorts underground structures, water tanks, television towers, offshore oil exploration and production structures, dams, and even in ships.
在每一个国家，混凝土及钢筋混凝土都被用来作为建筑材料。很多地区，包括美国和加拿大，钢筋混凝土在工程建设中是主要的结构材料。钢筋混凝土建筑的普遍性源于钢筋的广泛供应和混凝土的组成成分，砾石，沙子，水泥等，混凝土施工所需的技能相对简单，与其他形式的建设相比，钢筋混凝土更加经济。混凝土及钢筋混凝土用于桥梁、各种地下结构建筑、水池、电视塔、海洋石油勘探建筑、工业建筑、大坝，甚至用于造船业。
