What Is Rebar? Types Available and Uses
Rebar or reinforcing steel bar is found in the construction to localize the resistance and spread the strain such that it gets distributed to wider areas. It gives the concrete with an assistance to withstand the tensile loads when the structure expands and contracts due to variation in temperature under different climate conditions. This concept is predominantly used to hold together the construction even if any crack appears. These steel bars have ribbed surface allowing the concrete get a much better grip on the metal. Before use, the material is soaked in water at high-level pressure. This is performed to harden the outer layer while keeping its inner core soft so that it becomes flexible to easily absorb and distribute the tension when needed. The strong bond established between the fiber reinforced polymer rebar and concrete provide better compression strength to the structure. This offers better endurance to the construction set alongside the built done using normal smoot
