    The document discusses different models of reinforced concrete construction including tilt-up, hanging, tension, and compression models developed by Heinz Isler. It concludes that concrete will remain an important building material but reinforced concrete must crack to allow reinforcing steel to work, which can lead to corrosion and lower durability, while prestressed concrete prevents cracking. The most common design methods are moment diagrams and strut-and-tie models. Environmental impacts can be reduced through design. Tables also compare material properties such as density, stiffness, and energy absorption of various common building materials including aluminum, steel, concrete, brick, and wood.

    Conclusions
    Conclusions
    ! Concrete will continue to be a dominant
    construction material
    ! Reinforced concrete must crack in order for
    reinforcing to work "lower durability because
    steel can corrode
    ! Prestressed concrete prevents cracking
    ! Two powerful design methods: moment
    diagrams or strut and tie models
    ! Environmental impact can be reduced through
    design
