Reinforcement Bar
Reinforcement Bar (Rebar): The Backbone of Modern Construction
Welcome to Gulf Global Commerce's dedicated page for Reinforcement Bar (Rebar), the essential material that forms the structural foundation of virtually all modern construction projects. As a premier import/export platform, GGC provides high-quality rebar to support the robust development of infrastructure and buildings across the Middle East and globally.
What is Reinforcement Bar (Rebar)?
Reinforcement Bar, commonly known as Rebar, is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension. Concrete is strong under compression but weak under tension. Rebar significantly increases the tensile strength of concrete, preventing cracking and ensuring structural integrity.
Key Properties and Characteristics
Understanding the properties of rebar is crucial for its effective application in construction.
Material: Typically made from carbon steel, often recycled steel.
Surface: Deformed (ribbed, indented, or knurled) to create a stronger bond with the concrete, preventing slippage. Smooth bars are also available for specific applications.
Grades: Rebar is available in various grades, indicating its yield strength (e.g., Grade 40, Grade 60, Grade 500, B500B). Higher grades offer greater strength.
Sizes (Diameters): Commonly ranges from 6mm to 50mm, with various standard diameters to suit different structural requirements.
Length: Typically supplied in standard lengths (e.g., 6m, 9m, 12m) or cut and bent to custom specifications.
Corrosion Resistance: Standard rebar can corrode when exposed to moisture and chlorides. Epoxy-coated rebar and stainless steel rebar are available for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.
Ductility: The ability of the rebar to deform plastically before fracturing, a critical property for seismic resistance.
