Understanding Fabricated Rebar

Sizes Matter: The size of rebar is pivotal to its strength and application. From the slender #3 bar used in residential projects to the robust #18 bar designed for large-scale constructions, each size serves a unique purpose​​.

Grades Define Strength: The grade of rebar signifies its yield strength, which is vital for determining the load it can support without permanent deformation. Grades range from 40 to 100 KSI, allowing engineers to choose based on structural demands​​.

Types for Every Need: The choice of rebar type is influenced by environmental factors and project requirements. Carbon steel rebar is cost-effective, stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) brings strength with lightweight properties​​.

Coatings Extend Life: Coatings like epoxy or galvanization can significantly extend the life of rebar by protecting against corrosion. Epoxy-coated rebar is ideal for humid environments, while galvanized rebar offers a robust shield against the elements​​.
