Line 153:
(1) Reinforcement can be well bonded to the concrete, thus they can jointly resist external loads and deform.
(2) The thermal expansion coefficients of concrete and steel are so close
({{val|1.0×100|e=-5~}} to {{val|1.5×105|e=-5}} for concrete and {{val|1.2×102|e=-5}} for steel) that the thermal stress-induced damage to the bond between the two components can be prevented.
(3) Concrete can protect the embedded steel from corrosion and high-temperature induced softening.
