What is Rebar? (Concrete Reinforcing Bar)
Rebar, also known as reinforcing steel bar, is a steel bar used to reinforce concrete and masonry structures. The rebar strengthens and holds the concrete in tension. To improve the quality of the bond with the concrete, the surface of rebar is patterned with ‘ribs’.
Rebar is necessary to compensate for the fact that whilst concrete is strong in compression, it is relatively weak in tension. By casting rebar into concrete, it is able to carry tensile loads and so increase overall strength and stability.
Rebar is delivered in ‘lengths’ and ‘coil’ form.
