Zorluk: KolayCommon Building Materials

Plain concrete is a common building material that possesses high compressive strength but very low tensile strength.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement accurately reflects the most fundamental mechanical property of concrete: it resists crushing (compression) exceptionally well but fails easily under stretching or bending forces (tension).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the mechanical properties of plain concrete described in the statement.
The statement claims concrete is strong against compressive forces (squeezing) and weak against tensile forces (pulling).
Verifying basic material properties is necessary to determine the truth value of the statement.
2
Compare the claim against standard structural engineering principles.
The claim matches the real-world behavior of concrete.
Concrete is a ceramic-like material that resists crushing exceptionally well but is brittle and fails under tension.
