What aspects of bone's structure make it stronger than concrete? Think about the engineering design of bone. Use the terms tensile strength and compressional strength in your answer.

Reinforced calcium salts are stronger than concrete.

Explanation:

The bones structure resembles in some aspect to concrete or cement reinforced with steel. Collagen develope as the steel and calcium salts develope as the concrete.

The bone's compressional strength is higher than the concrete's strength, while the bone's tension or traction strength is almost equal to the concrete's strength.
