Rebar is used to?

Rebar is used to give strength to masonry and concrete constructions. Masonry is this case is concrete blocks. Concrete, block or cast in place, is good for compression forces and not tension. Steel is good in tension or tensile forces and not compression. By combining the constructive elements of concrete with steel, thus reinforced concrete, you get the strengths of both in one medium.


What are the uses for sand and gravel harvested from the continental shelf?

The sand and gravel harvested from the continental shelf are used in making concrete and in other construction applications.


What are the mediums in architecture?

Mediums of Architecture· Wood-Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.· Stone- is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired.· Concrete is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with ceme3nt. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger structure, Ferro-concrete or reinforced concrete is used. It is concrete reinforced with steel.· Steel- it is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days.9

Why do builders put metal rods in concrete?

Rebar is used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.


Rebars used for?

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.


What is hybrid fiber reinforced concrete?

The concrete in which more than one fiber types are used as secondary reinforcement is called hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.


What is reinforced concrete?

Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.

What are the differences between the mass concrete and reinforced concrete?

Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.


What rock was used to make the Christ the Redeemer?

Reinforced concrete and soapstone.


What is meant by reinforced concrete?

A reinforced concrete is a one in which steel is used. The inclusion of steel in concrete is to take up the tensile forces, since concrete is weak in tension and strong in compression. Moreover it gives warning of the structure before failure.
