Reinforcement Steel

Reinforcement steel, often referred to as rebar, is a type of steel bar used in construction to strengthen concrete structures. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension; rebar helps to provide tensile strength, allowing concrete to withstand bending and stretching forces. The bars are usually placed in specific patterns within concrete before it sets, creating a composite material that enhances durability and stability. This combination is essential in building structures like bridges, buildings, and roads, ensuring they can bear heavy loads and last over time.
