You know, there’s an example I use a lot for synergy, how a team can lead to more. But it applies to this, one of the strongest natural materials in the animal world is the Toucan’s beak, and unlike a horse shoe crab’s body armor which gains strength from structural piecing togetherness, a toucan’s beak gains the extra strength from complimenting of the different underlying materials … The inside part of the beak is similar to styrofoam, and the outside part is similar to a thin plastic like the old drinking straws… but together it makes the whole product very strong.
It’s more of a math and science designation, that’s why you won’t always see this as much in engineering , but you will see it a lot more in business and system architecture.. because it’s fundamentally gaining its quantitative values through “game theory”
While concrete can support large loads of pressure in a downward direction, it is comparably weak with side to side, or if it has nothing under it to support it. (think of a beam on top of two pillars). Rebar acts like a bone within the concrete to overcome these weakness'.
