This is the theory of negative energy. When steel bars for bending it's energy is lost due to load application of bending. The ability to take loads would be lose. Zero energy may cause collapse of the entire structure. Consider the round beam of which bars are bend circular for a round building, which is like wise the pizza of Italy , it's known to Architecture history. Beam rest on circular beam is again dangerous for its notorious tilted nature .
