Steel Reinforcing Bars: Embedded "Stength" of Cast-in-Place Reinforced Concrete

Mill Production of Rebar
See how reinforcing Bar is made, from scrap metal to completed bars.

Steel Reinforcing bars are produced by pouring molten steel into casters and then running it through a series of stands in the mill, which shape the steel into reinforcing bars. The cross hatchings, called "deformations," help transfer the load between concrete and steel.

For buildings, bridges, highways, and runways, the cast-in-place concrete "body" and shop-fabricated steel "musculature" of reinforing bars work in tandem to create one of the most durable and most economical composite material.

Reinforced concrete is composite material. The concrete provides the material's compressive strength, while the steel — in the form of embedded reinforcing bars — provides tensile strength.


	CRSI Manual of Standard Practice The Manual of Standard Practice has been presenting the standards of the reinforcing steel industry since 1927. Every architect, engineering firm, construction company and inspection agency that is involved with reinforced concrete should own a copy.
	CRSI Placing Reinforcing Bars Presents currents practices in placing reinforcing bars for ironworkers, inspectors, and apprentices. Eighteen heavily illustrated chapters cover materials; handling bars at the job site; general principles for bar placing, splicing, and tying; placing bars in footings, walls, columns, floors, and roofs.
	Ready Reference This new resource guide contains valuable information about reinforced concrete structural systems, along with good reference information on reinforcing steel bars and accessories used in concrete construction.
	ASTM Reinforcing Bar Marking Requirements (metric & in-lb) This card shows the industry standard markings on reinforcing steel bars. The blue side describes metric markings and the white side describes inch-pound markings.
