How Does Rebar Strengthen Concrete?

rebar

Concrete is very strong in compression (loads trying to crush the concrete,) but very weak in tension (loads that try to pull the concrete apart,) and very weak in shear (loads that try to snap the concrete like how you’d break a twig in half.)

Steel is a linear elastic material that is basically equally strong in all directions – tension, compression, shear… has pretty much equal resistance to all of them.

Why Is Beef Jerky So Expensive?

why is beef jerky expensive

Jerky is expensive because whole cuts of beef are expensive. It seems even more expensive for jerky because the dehydration condenses the mass of the product, but when it is sold by the pound originally, all of the water weight is counted.

A pound of steak becomes a few ounces of beef jerky, and the few ounces of jerky need to cover the cost of the steak and energy required to evaporate all the water and add the tasty smoke.

Binti Jua

In 1996, Binti Jua, an 8-year-old female Western lowland gorilla, tended to a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois.

The child had climbed the wall and fallen 24 feet (7.3m), breaking his hand and receiving a large gash on his face. Binti walked over and cradled the boy in her arms. She carried him over to the service entrance and handed him over to her zookeepers. Her 17-month old baby, Koola clutched her back throughout the whole ordeal.
