● Steel rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is a steel rod used to strengthen concrete structures. Made primarily from carbon steel, it features ridges or deformations on its surface to bond tightly with concrete.
● Classified by strength and composition, common grades include ASTM A615 (carbon steel) and A706 (low-alloy). It enhances concrete’s tensile strength—critical since concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension.
● Widely used in construction for buildings, bridges, roads, and foundations, rebar comes in various diameters and lengths. It’s often tied into grids before concrete pouring, ensuring structural integrity under stress, loads, or environmental forces.
Carbon Steel Reinforcing Bar (Rebar) is a carbon steel product used to strengthen concrete structures, compensating for concrete’s low tensile strength. Typically hot-rolled, it features a deformed surface—ridges or lugs—that enhances bonding with concrete, preventing slippage under stress. Available in various grades (differentiated by yield strength), it suits diverse applications from buildings to bridges. Offering good ductility and workability, it can be cut, bent, or welded easily. Cost-effective and durable, it reinforces concrete against cracking and structural failure, making it a fundamental material in construction for ensuring long-term structural integrity under loads and environmental stresses.
