Rebar locators are used to find exactly where the reinforcing steel is located under concrete in existing materials. They are most often used for renovation or remodeling projects.

It's main use is to give concrete strength. A web of rebar is built in the form and concrete poured around it. This keeps the concrete from breaking apart.

How do you patch or seal an exposed rebar post tension cable in foundation slab?

Rebar and Post Tension cable (PT) are two entirely different items. Rebar is the static steel bars placed in the concrete while the PT are high tensile strength cables that were placed in concrete than stressed under hydraulic jacking to a tension generally around 2500 to 3500 psi. As a result, the situations for repair are different. The exposed rebar can be cleaned and patched through approved methods. However the PT should be looked at by a professional as it is an integral part of the structure and, as mentioned before, is under tensioned stress. If the exposed rebar is in a PT slab, caution should be used and a professional consulted as well, due the rebar being integrated with the PT.


Your site engineers prepare bbs in the site they directly give the bbs to the bar benders is this a correct approach?

This is an incorrect approach. The current method is the reason for the steel wastage. The steel saving is left to the hands of Bar Benders and site engineers.A scientifically proven system, to save steel in the construction projects is the need of the hour.Steel saving starts with the Rebar Detailed engineering. This is also called as Rebar Detailing. A professional Rebar Placing drawing and an optimized Bar Bending schedule (BBS) are the targeted output of the Rebar detailing.


What is mean by Rebar detailing?

Rebar detailing is the arrangement of the reinforcing steel in the the concrete structure. it shows the details of the shape, size, number or spacing of bars in any rcc structre. different sections of the structure is taken and the arrangement of the reinforcement is shown in it. the picture below is the detailing of rcc structre

What should you do about rebar that's rusting?

Until all the rebar is gone. Rebar is just low grade steel with next to nothing in it to prevent rust. After a surface coat of rust gets on it (2-3 days) it will slow the process but it will never stop. Rebar is normally set inside concrete which also slows down the rusting but if you break open any concrete slab with rebar in it you will see it has rusted. Better still, avoid the problem in the first place. If you don't want to see rust, don't use steel. use composite (FRP) rebar. this is manufactured from glass-fibre based composites and is used where steel can not or should not be used.
