Steel Rebar

Product Description: Steel Rebar

Overview

Steel rebar (reinforcing bar) is a high-strength steel rod used to reinforce concrete and masonry structures. Its primary function is to provide tensile strength to concrete, which is inherently weak in tension but strong in compression. Steel rebar ensures the structural integrity and durability of construction projects.

Uses

  • Concrete Reinforcement: Essential for reinforcing concrete in buildings, bridges, roads, and other infrastructure.

  • Foundations: Provides strength and stability to building foundations and footings.

  • Walls and Columns: Used in the construction of reinforced concrete walls and columns.

  • Slabs and Floors: Strengthens concrete slabs and floors to prevent cracking and structural failure.

  • Masonry: Reinforces masonry walls and structures to enhance their load-bearing capacity.

Specifications

  • Material Composition: Made from high-strength steel, typically with a carbon content ranging from 0.3% to 0.6%.

  • Grades: Available in various grades such as Grade 40, Grade 60, and Grade 75, indicating the yield strength in ksi (kilo pounds per square inch).

  • Sizes: Available in different diameters, commonly ranging from #3 (3/8 inch) to #18 (2 1/4 inch).

  • Lengths: Typically supplied in standard lengths of 20, 30, 40, and 60 feet, but can be cut to custom lengths.

  • Surface Finish: Features a deformed surface with ridges to enhance bonding with concrete.

  • Standards: Complies with international standards such as ASTM A615/A615M, ASTM A706/A706M, and BS 4449.

  • Coating: Available in uncoated (black), epoxy-coated, and galvanized finishes for corrosion resistance.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Structural Integrity: Provides tensile strength to concrete, preventing cracking and structural failures.

  • Durability: High resistance to environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance.

  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of construction applications.

  • Ease of Use: Can be easily cut, bent, and welded to fit various design specifications.

  • Cost-Effective: Reduces maintenance and repair costs by enhancing the durability of structures.

  • Safety: Improves the safety and stability of buildings and infrastructure.
