Inanga zikoreshwa cane mu vy'ubwubatsi, mu mashini no mu buhinga bw'ibiraro. Intumbero yavyo nyamukuru ni ugufatanya neza ibikoresho canke ibikorwa ku mishinge ya beton, kwikorera no gutanga imizigo ihagaze n’iyihagaze, hamwe n’ibihe vy’uguhindukira, bigatuma inzu yose iguma ihagaze neza kandi ikaba itekanye.
Ku bijanye n’ingingo ngenderwako y’ibikorwa vyavyo, amabouti y’inanga ashirwa ku mushinge wa beton biciye mu buryo bwo gushirwa imbere canke inyuma y’ugushirwa. Iyo igikoresho canke igihimba c’icuma gishizweho, igice c’urudodo c’ico gipfukisho gifatanya n’igice co hejuru, mu gihe umugozi w’ico gipfukisho ushirwa mu mushinge wa beton. Betoni imaze gukomera, iragira ubucuti bukomeye n’ico gipfukisho. Iryo huriro rikomoka ku gukorana kw’ubuhinga n’ugufatanya kw’ivyuma kwa beton n’imbere y’ibarabara. Iyo iyo nyubakwa yo hejuru ishikiwe n’ingorane, uwo muzigo uca ku nzira y’umugozi ukaja ku mushinge wa beton, hanyuma ukava aho ukaja ku mushinge wagutse, ugatanga neza kandi ugatwara inguvu.
Mu bisanzwe, amabouti y’inanga ashirwa mu bwoko butatu: inanga idahinduka, inanga yimuka, n’inanga ishobora kwaguka. Amabouti adahinduka akoreshwa canecane mu guhangana n’imizigo idahinduka no gukingira ibikoresho mu kibanza cavyo. Amabouti yimuka aratuma umuntu ashobora kwiruka kandi arabereye ku bikoresho bisaba guhindurwa canke guhungabana. Ivyuma vy’ugukura-, bikoresha uburyo bwo kwagura kugira ngo bikomeze ubucuti bwavyo na beton, akenshi bikoreshwa aho ibihimba vy’imbere -bishizwemwo bidashoboka.
Mu vy’ubuhinga, ugushirwaho kw’amabouti y’inanga biragira ico bikoze ku kwizigirwa kw’imibumbe. Gukevya cane mu kibanza c’amabuye canke uburebure budahagije bw’inanga birashobora gutuma umuzigo udashikana mbere n’ukudashikama kw’imibumbe. Ku bw’ivyo, mu gihe c’ubwubatsi, umuntu ategerezwa kugenzura neza ukuntu amabouti ashirwa, ukuntu ahagaze be n’ingene beton isukwa kugira ngo ashobore gukora neza.
Muri make, amabouti y’inanga ashika ku guhuza kwizigirwa hagati y’ibikoresho n’imishinge biciye mu gukorana n’ubuhinga n’ingaruka z’ubufatanye za beton, bikaba bituma ari ikintu gihambaye cane c’umushinge mu vy’ubuhinga bwa none.
