Steel Reinforcement Bars

Steel reinforcement bars, commonly known as rebars, are crucial components in modern construction, especially in reinforced concrete structures. They are manufactured from high-strength steel and designed to withstand tensile stress, which concrete alone cannot resist effectively.

Rebars are typically used in:

• Beams, slabs, and columns

• Foundations and retaining walls

• Roads, bridges, and high-rise buildings

• Masonry reinforcements and structural frameworks

They come in different grades and diameters (e.g., 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, etc.), with surface patterns (deformations) that enhance their grip within concrete. This bond between the rebar and concrete significantly improves the overall strength and durability of the structure.

Benefits of Steel Reinforcement Bars:

• High tensile strength and ductility

• Enhances load-bearing capacity of concrete

• Resistant to corrosion (especially when coated or galvanized)

• Versatile for a wide range of structural applications

• Available in various sizes and lengths for different construction needs

Reinforcement bars are a foundational material in civil engineering, ensuring safety, performance, and longevity in both small-scale and large-scale construction projects.
