Reinforcing Bar

Reinforcing bars, commonly known as rebar or reinforcing steel, are steel bars used in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to provide tensile strength and enhance the structural integrity of the construction. Reinforcing bars are typically made from mild or high-strength steel. The choice of steel grade depends on the structural requirements and the specific application. Rebar is extensively used in reinforced concrete structures, including buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure. It provides tensile strength to counteract the weak tensile nature of concrete. The inclusion of reinforcing bars in concrete enhances the overall strength and durability of the structure by resisting tension forces. Rebar can be bent and shaped easily to accommodate the specific design requirements of a structure, allowing for flexibility in construction.
