What is a Rebar? Types of Steel Reinforcement
What is Rebar? Rebars are steel rods which are used as reinforcement in concrete. Since concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so in order to make concrete strong in tension we use Steel rods as reinforcement. Steel is compatible with concrete because steel and concrete have nearly same expansion and contraction due… Continue reading What is a Rebar? Types of Steel Reinforcement
