Steel Bar (Rebar)

Steel bar, commonly called rebar, is a strong, durable steel rod used in construction to reinforce concrete and masonry structures. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension (stretching). Rebar enhances its tensile strength, preventing cracking and breaking under load. It’s often placed in patterns within concrete slabs, walls, and foundations to ensure stability and safety. Rebar’s surface is typically textured or ridged to grip the concrete securely, providing better bonding. Its use is essential in building bridges, buildings, and roads, helping structures withstand various forces and extending their lifespan.
