Rebar

Rebar is one type of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete structure. Rebar installation is done when the formwork is in place, yet before the pouring of concrete into the formwork. The exact placement and size of rebar is determined by a structural engineer, based on the expected loads and stresses. Since reinforcing bar or steel is better in tension than compression while concrete is stronger in compression than in tension, the two are used together. Rebar comes in a variety of lengths and grades. Epoxy coated rebar is also available.
