In the mid-‘90s, when I was part of the National Safety Council’s Institute for Safety through Design (now “sunset”), risk assessment was more of a concept and vision than a reality for most organizations in the U.S. I encourage all safety pros to be familiar with the work of CHCS. The first is risk assessment.

When the formwork is erected the concrete can be poured. When the concrete has reached the required strength the formwork can be poured. If the steel had been placed too close to the surface and the concrete had been poured then over time the steel may become exposed to moisture and corrosion will commence.

There are two ways of overcoming this problem: Embed another material in the concrete which is strong in tension – reinforced concrete Remove the tension altogether – by arching or prestressing. In practice, reinforced concrete beams are designed on the assumption that cracks will occur under their service loads.
