Concrete vs Steel — how do they really behave under load? 🤔

This short shows the real stress-strain comparison between the two most important construction materials:

🔵 Steel → Ductile, large deformation before failure
🔴 Concrete → Brittle, fails suddenly with small strain

Steel can stretch and absorb energy,
while concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension.

This contrast is the reason behind reinforced concrete design.
