Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the properties of concrete, specifically its weakness in tension, and potential improvements. Additionally, there are inquiries about the corrosion of welded stainless steel structures and pollution reduction during ironmaking.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are exploring the reasons behind concrete's tensile weakness and discussing possible solutions. There are also questions about the implications of corrosion in stainless steel and the environmental impact of gaseous impurities during ironmaking.

Discussion Status

The conversation includes various questions and attempts to clarify the topics at hand. Some participants express a need for more structured guidance or resources to find answers, while others question the relevance of certain aspects of the discussion.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding the categorization of questions, with a note that one question may align more with chemistry than physics. Participants are also seeking external resources for further information.

Hi all in here,

Do you have any idea why concrete is weak when tested in tension and list the steps that can be taken to overcome this? and why might a welded stainless steel structure fail from corrosion?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
any answer??
 
one more question

During ironmaking, some impurities are gaseous,how can pollution from these be reduced?

that sounds more like a demand than a question and that question sounds more like chemistry than physics
 
could you give me any location to looking for answers,any website that I find everything regarding my questions.

thanks
