The Backbone of Concrete: Understanding Rebars and Their Uses
What Are Rebars? Rebars, short for reinforcing bars, are steel rods or mesh used in concrete structures to improve their tensile strength. While concrete performs exceptionally well under compression, it is inherently weak under tension. Rebars compensate for this weakness by absorbing tensile forces, preventing cracks and structural failure. Typically manufactured from carbon steel, rebars […]
