What is Rebar? Key to Solid Structures
What is Rebar? Key to Solid Structures Rebar, also known as carbon steel or mild steel reinforcement bar, is manufactured with the addition of carbon to the extent of 0.05% to 0.25% to iron and serves as the framework of a structure. Deformed bars have ridges or lugs [...]
How to Lay Rebar: Quick Guide to Stronger Concrete
How to Lay Rebar: Quick Guide to Stronger Concrete Concrete is one of the oldest and most popular construction materials. Despite its durability and versatility, concrete fails when exposed to excessive stresses. To improve its structural strength, rebars are introduced during casting. Rebars, also referred to as reinforcement bars, improve the tensile and [...]
Choose the Right Size Rebar: Top Tips for Concrete Slabs
Choose the Right Size Rebar: Top Tips for Concrete Slabs Reinforced concrete slabs are the norm for providing robust and durable floors and ceilings in modern commercial/ residential buildings, skyscrapers, and bridge decks, because they allow builders to create longer and thinner spans without intermediate supports while reducing [...]
Why Rebar? Unveiling Its Crucial Role in Concrete
Why Rebar? Unveiling Its Crucial Role in Concrete Reinforcement bars; commonly known as rebar are steel pieces incorporated in concrete to improve its structural strength. Rebars exist in various sizes, shapes, and mechanical properties. However, round rebars are the most common in construction. Rebar classification is based on [...]
