Rebar are steel rods/bars that are usually combined with concrete to create reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete takes the weakness of each individual material and pairs it with the strength of the other. Reinforced concrete is a highly adaptable material, able to be used in a variety of structures.

Waist slab is used in case of stairs. The rebars are bent at some angles on which steps are built.
rebars
The rule of overlapping rebars, also known as the lap splice length, dictates the minimum length that two reinforcing bars (rebars) must overlap to ensure effective load transfer between them. This overlap is typically specified as a multiple of the diameter of the rebar and is influenced by factors such as the type of steel, the concrete's strength, and the environmental conditions. Properly splicing rebars helps maintain structural integrity and prevents potential failure in concrete structures. Always refer to relevant codes and standards, like ACI or Eurocode, for specific requirements.
There is no constant value for the ratio of the rebars and concrete volume. The rebars depends on the structural designer's safety factor and the factors affecting the framing like wind, earthquake and soil.

The unit weight of rebars is typically around 7.85 kg/m³. In a reinforced concrete mix with a compressive strength of 60 MPa, the amount of reinforcement steel used is usually between 1-2% of the total volume of concrete. Therefore, the weight of rebars per cubic meter of reinforced concrete at 60 MPa would be approximately 78.5 kg/m³ to 157 kg/m³.
The gap of rebars in hollow blocks refers to the spacing between reinforcing bars (rebars) placed within the hollow cores of concrete blocks. This gap is crucial for ensuring adequate structural support and load distribution in masonry construction. Typically, the spacing depends on the specific design requirements and building codes, but it generally ranges from 16 to 24 inches. Proper spacing is essential to enhance the strength and durability of the structure.
