Reinforcement Bars Technical Handbook – A Complete Guide by Radha TMT
In modern construction, strength and durability are the most critical factors that decide the life of any structure. Concrete alone has excellent compressive strength but lacks tensile strength. This limitation is effectively overcome by using reinforcement bars , which work together with concrete to form reinforced cement concrete (RCC). This technical handbook by Radha TMT explains everything you need to know about reinforcement bars, their role in construction, and the technical aspects that matter on-site. What Are Reinforcement Bars? Reinforcement bars, commonly known as rebars, are steel bars used within concrete to increase its tensile strength. When concrete and steel are combined, they complement each other perfectly—concrete handles compression while steel resists tension. This combination makes structures capable of withstanding heavy loads, vibrations, and environmental stresses. In residential buildings, bridges, flyovers, dams, and industrial projects, reinforcement...
