Rebar, which is short for "reinforcing bar", is a type of bar typically made from carbon steel. It is normally installed inside cast cement concrete in order to increase the tension strength of the ...

Steel rebar is a ferrous steel deformed bar that is used for reinforcement, strengthening & holding concrete. Steel rebar help the concrete structure to withstand bending, shearing loads, tensile, and ...

Nearly 40% of failure of concrete structures occurs due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. For this reason, corrosion control of steel reinforcement is essential to prevent damage and ...

Oroville >> In the nearly 50 years since the Oroville Dam was completed, construction methods have changed. Chico State University construction management professor Chris Souder consulted on the ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

The key factors driving the growth of the global steel rebar market are the expanding construction sector, dropping steel prices, reduced wastage, minimized overlapping at joints, and speedier ...

Structural reinforcements are vital for improving the overall strength and lifetime of concrete-based structural applications, including bridge decks, parking garages, and drainage systems.

— A 15-foot fall at a Rochester construction site ended with a 62-year-old worker being impaled on a four-foot length of metal rebar Saturday. Rebar is a rough metal bar used to reinforce concrete ...

While many of us might think that concrete structures such as bridges simply stand unaided for decades at a time, the fact is that they require maintenance as often as once every five years. An ...
