Armatures du béton armé. Un béton est dit armé lorsqu'il renferme des fers, tiges ou barres d'acier doux qui lui confèrent sa résistance à la traction (le béton non armé ne résistant bien qu'aux efforts de compression). Le choix et la disposition judicieuse des armatures obéissent à des règles précises [...]; de plus en plus, on utilise des logiciels informatiques qui facilitent les calculs et dessins d'armatures. 2, record 1, French, - armature
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Fer à béton : surtout au pluriel, les fers désignent toutes les tiges métalliques lisses (rond à béton) ou crénelées (barres) utilisées pour composer l'armature (ou ferraillage) des bétons armés. 2, record 1, French, - armature

D'une façon générale, le terme armature désigne tout élément, peu importe son matériau, que l'on incorpore dans le béton pour améliorer sa résistance; en pratique, le matériau utilisé est l'acier d'où la synonymie ou quasi-synonymie établie entre «armature» et «acier d'armature». 7, record 1, French, - armature
