Rebar
Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), collectively known as reinforcing steel
and reinforcement steel,[1] is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a
tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to
strengthen and hold the concrete in tension. Rebar's surface is often patterned
to form a better bond with the concrete.

Any material with sufficient tensile strength could potentially be used to

reinforce concrete. The most common are steel, glass fiber, basalt fiber, and
fibre-reinforced plastic. Steel and concrete have similar coefficients of thermal
expansion,[2] so a concrete structural member reinforced with steel will
experience minimal stress as the temperature changes.

History
Originally, concrete structures were unreinforced. Rebar has been used in construction since at least the 15th century; for
example, 2,500 meters of rebar was used in the Chteau de Vincennes.[3]

11/23/2017 Rebar - Wikipedia

More recently, during the 18th century, rebar was used to form the carcass of
the Leaning Tower of Nevyansk in Russia, built on the orders of the
industrialist Akinfiy Demidov. The cast iron used for the rebar was of high
quality, and there is no corrosion on them to this day. The carcass of the tower
was connected to its cast iron tented roof, crowned with one of the first known
lightning rods.[4] More recently these techniques have been refined by
embedding steel bars in the concrete, and by the introduction of deformed bars
to improve bonding, thus producing modern reinforced concrete.

Use in concrete and masonry

Rebar inside the Leaning Tower of
Concrete is a material that is very strong in compression, but relatively weak in Nevyansk
tension. To compensate for this imbalance in concrete's behavior, rebar is cast
into it to carry the tensile loads. Most steel reinforcement is divided into
primary and secondary reinforcement, but there are other minor uses:

Primary reinforcement refers to the steel which is employed to guarantee the resistance needed by the structure as a
whole to support the design loads.
Secondary reinforcement, also known as distribution or thermal reinforcement, is employed for durability and
aesthetic reasons, by providing enough localized resistance to limit cracking and resist stresses caused by effects
such as temperature changes and shrinkage.
Rebar is also employed to confer resistance to concentrated loads by providing enough localized resistance and
stiffness for a load to spread through a wider area.
Rebar may also be used to hold other steel bars in the correct position to accommodate their loads.
External steel tie bars can constrain and reinforce masonry structures, as illustrated by the Nevyansk Tower or
ancient structures in Rome and the Vatican.
Masonry structures and the mortar holding them together have similar properties to concrete and also have a limited
ability to carry tensile loads. Some standard masonry units like blocks and bricks are made with voids to accommodate
rebar, which is then secured in place with grout. This combination is known as reinforced masonry.

Physical characteristics
Steel has a thermal expansion coefficient nearly equal to that of modern concrete. If this were not so, it would cause
problems through additional longitudinal and perpendicular stresses at temperatures different from the temperature of
the setting.[5] Although rebar has ribs that bind it mechanically to the concrete, it can still be pulled out of the concrete
under high stresses, an occurrence that often accompanies a larger-scale collapse of the structure. To prevent such a
failure, rebar is either deeply embedded into adjacent structural members (4060 times the diameter), or bent and
hooked at the ends to lock it around the concrete and other rebar. This first approach increases the friction locking the bar
into place, while the second makes use of the high compressive strength of concrete.

Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered steel, making it susceptible to rusting. Normally the concrete cover is able
to provide a pH value higher than 12 avoiding the corrosion reaction. Too little concrete cover can compromise this guard
through carbonation from the surface, and salt penetration. Too much concrete cover can cause bigger crack widths which
also compromises the local guard. As rust takes up greater volume than the steel from which it was formed, it causes
severe internal pressure on the surrounding concrete, leading to cracking, spalling, and, ultimately, structural failure. This
phenomenon is known as oxide jacking. This is a particular problem where the concrete is exposed to salt water, as in
bridges where salt is applied to roadways in winter, or in marine applications. Uncoated, corrosion-resistant low
carbon/chromium (microcomposite), epoxy-coated, galvanized, or stainless steel rebars may be employed in these
situations at greater initial expense, but significantly lower expense over the service life of the project.[6][7] Extra care is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar 2/12
11/23/2017 Rebar - Wikipedia

taken during the transport, fabrication, handling, installation, and concrete placement process when working with epoxy-
coated rebar, because damage will reduce the long-term corrosion resistance of these bars.[8] Even damaged bars have
shown better performance than uncoated reinforcing bars, though issues from debonding of the epoxy coating from the
bars and corrosion under the epoxy film have been reported.[9] These bars are used in over 70,000 bridge decks in the
USA.[10]

Fibre-reinforced plastic rebar is also used in high-corrosion environments. It is available in many forms, such as spirals
for reinforcing columns, common rods, and meshes. Most commercially available rebar is made from unidirectional glass
fibre reinforced thermoset resins.

Reinforcing steel can also be displaced by impacts such as earthquakes, resulting in structural failure. The prime example
of this is the collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct in Oakland, California as a result of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake,
causing 42 fatalities. The shaking of the earthquake caused rebars to burst from the concrete and buckle. Updated building
designs, including more circumferential rebar, can address this type of failure.

Sizes and grades

US sizes
Imperial bar sizes give the diameter in units of inch, so that #8 = 88 inch = 1 inch diameter. The cross-sectional area, as
given by r, works out to (bar size/9.027), which is approximated as (bar size/9) square inches. For example, the area
of #8 bar is (8/9) = 0.79 square inches.

Larger bar sizes are based on the cross-sectional area of square bars that were formerly used. The diameter of the
equivalent round shapes is rounded to the nearest inch to provide the bar size. For example, #9 bar has a cross section
of 1.00 square inches, and therefore a diameter of 1.128 inches. #10, #11, #14, and #18 sizes correspond to 1 18 inch, 1 14,
1 12, and 2 inch square bars, respectively.[11] #14 rebar is particularly affected by this approximation; by diameter it would
be #13.5.

The tower and sign industries commonly use slightly larger "jumbo" bars #14J and #18J as anchor rods for large
structures.[12] The bars are fabricated from slightly oversized blanks such that threads can be cut at the ends to accept
standard 1.75" (#14J) and 2.25" (#18J) anchor nuts.

Australian sizes
Reinforcement for use in concrete construction is subject to the requirements of Australian Standards AS3600-2009
(Concrete Structures) and AS/NZS4671-2001 (Steel Reinforcing for Concrete). There are other standards that apply to
testing, welding and galvanising.

The designation of reinforcement is defined in AS/NZS4671-2001 using the following formats:

R250N20 is round bar, 250 MPa strength, normal ductility and 20 mm nominal diameter - also
known as "R20"

Bars are typically abbreviated to simply 'N' (hot-rolled deformed bar), 'R' (hot-rolled round bar), 'RW' (cold-drawn ribbed
wire) or 'W' (cold-drawn round wire), as the yield strength and ductility class can be implied from the shape. For example,
all commercially available wire has a yield strength of 500 MPa and low ductility, while round bars are 250 MPa and
normal ductility.

India
Rebars are available in the following grades as per IS:1786-2008 FE 415/FE 415D/FE 415S/FE 500/FE 500D/FE
500S/FE 550, FE550D, FE 600. Rebars are quenched with water at a high level pressure so that the outer surface is
hardened while the inner core remains soft. Rebars are ribbed so that the concrete can have a better grip. Coastal regions
use galvanized rebars to prolong their life.

Grades
Rebar is available in grades and specifications that vary in yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, chemical composition,
and percentage of elongation.

In US use, the grade designation is equal to the minimum yield strength of the bar in ksi (1000 psi) for example grade 60
rebar has a minimum yield strength of 60 ksi. Rebar is typically manufactured in grades 40, 60, and 75.

In countries that use the metric system, the grade designation is typically the yield strength in megapascals MPa, for
example grade 400 (similar to US grade 60).

Common US specifications, published by ACI and ASTM, are:

Historically in Europe, rebar is composed of mild steel material with a yield strength of approximately 250 MPa (36 ksi).
Modern rebar is composed of high-yield steel, with a yield strength more typically 500 MPa (72.5 ksi). Rebar can be
supplied with various grades of ductility. The more ductile steel is capable of absorbing considerably more energy when
deformed - a behavior that resists earthquake forces and is used in design. These high yield strength ductile steels are
usually produced using the TEMPCORE process,[15] a method of thermomechanical processing. The manufacture of
reinforcing steel by re-rolling finished products (e.g. sheets or rails) is not allowed.[16] In contrast to structural steel, rebar
steel grades are not harmonized yet across Europe, each country having their own national standards. However some
standardization of specification and testing methods exist under EN 10080 and EN ISO 15630:

Placing rebar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar 8/12
11/23/2017 Rebar - Wikipedia

Rebar cages are fabricated either on or off the project site commonly with the
help of hydraulic benders and shears. However, for small or custom work a tool
known as a Hickey, or hand rebar bender, is sufficient. The rebars are placed
by steel fixers "rodbusters" or concrete reinforcing iron workers, with bar
supports and concrete or plastic rebar spacers separating the rebar from the
concrete formwork to establish concrete cover and ensure that proper
embedment is achieved. The rebars in the cages are connected by spot welding,
tying steel wire, sometimes using an electric rebar tier, or with mechanical
connections. For tying epoxy coated or galvanised rebars, epoxy coated or
galvanized wire is normally used, respectively. Steel wire used to secure rebar
before concrete is poured over it. A
scale marked in centimetres and
Stirrups millimetres is shown for size
Stirrups form the outer part of a rebar cage. Stirrups are usually rectangular, reference.
and are placed at regular intervals along a column or beam to prevent shear
failure.[17]

Welding
The American Welding Society (AWS) D 1.4 sets out the practices for welding rebar in the U.S. Without special
consideration the only rebar that is ready to weld is W grade (Low-alloy A706). Rebar that is not produced to the ASTM
A706 specification is generally not suitable for welding without calculating the "carbon-equivalent". Material with a
carbon-equivalent of less than 0.55 can be welded.

ASTM A 616 & ASTM A 617 (now replaced by the combined standard A996) reinforcing bars are re-rolled rail steel and re-
rolled rail axle steel with uncontrolled chemistry, phosphorus and carbon content. These materials are not common.

Rebar cages are normally tied together with wire, although spot welding of cages has been the norm in Europe for many
years, and is becoming more common in the United States. High strength steels for prestressed concrete may absolutely
not be welded.

Mechanical connections
Also known as "mechanical couplers" or "mechanical splices", mechanical connections are used to connect reinforcing
bars together. Mechanical couplers are an effective means to reduce rebar congestion in highly reinforced areas for cast-
in-place concrete construction. These couplers are also used in precast concrete construction at the joints between
members.

The structural performance criteria for mechanical connections varies between countries, codes, and industries. As a
minimum requirement, codes typically specify that the rebar to splice connection meets or exceeds 125% of the specified
yield strength of the rebar. More stringent criteria also requires the development of the specified ultimate strength of the
rebar. As an example, ACI 318 specifies either Type 1 (125% Fy) or Type 2 (125% Fy and 100% Fu) performance criteria.[18]

For concrete structures designed with ductility in mind, it is recommended that the mechanical connections are also
capable of failing in a ductile manner, typically known in the reinforcing steel industry as achieving "bar-break". As an
example, Caltrans specifies a required mode of failure (i.e., "necking of the bar").[19]

Safety
To prevent injury, the protruding ends of steel rebar are often bent over or
covered with special steel-reinforced plastic "plate" caps. "Mushroom" caps
may provide protection from scratches and other minor injuries, but provide
little to no protection from impalement.[20]

Designations
Rebars with safety caps installed
Reinforcement is usually tabulated in a "reinforcement schedule" on before being covered in concrete
construction drawings. This eliminates ambiguity in the notations used around
the world. The following list provides examples of the notations used in the
architectural, engineering, and construction industry.

Reuse and recycling

In China and many other countries, after the demolition of a concrete structure, workers are called in to remove the rebar.
They scour the site, extracting the metal using bolt cutters, welding equipment, sledgehammers, and other tools. The
metal is partially straightened, bundled and sold.

Rebar, like almost all metal products, can be recycled as scrap. It is usually combined with other steel products, melted
down, and re-formed.
