What is Steel Rebar?

A steel bar used to reinforce concrete is known as steel rebar. It's also known as a reinforcing bar and it's often corrosion-proof. Rebar is commonly used throughout the construction industry for a variety of projects including concrete posts, floor slabs, walls, and more.

Steel rebar helps to prevent cracks in concrete. They can also provide strength to a structure and durability.

Steel rebar comes in many different sizes. The number will identify the bar size. Each size fits specifically for different types of projects and provides a different level of reinforcement.

The History of Rebar

About 2,000 years ago, the first cement mix was created out of limestone and volcanic ash.  the Coliseum was created with concrete, along with the Pantheon. Concrete had to be rediscovered later after the Roman Empire collapsed.

Around 1800, reinforced concrete became an idea and started to show up in France. This was the first time reinforcement bar or rebar was used to add strength to concrete structures.

While concrete is rather strong, it does have weaknesses. A concrete beam has to be supported at both ends and also in the middle or it can easily be damaged. Rebar and steel reinforcing allows the limitations of concrete to be strengthened.

Common Benefits of Steel Rebar

Rebar provides a number of benefits including:

• Helps to make concrete more resistant to failure
• Offers tensile strength to help concrete last much longer
• Provides structural strength for all types of concrete projects
• It's an easy setting option that can be set into place before pouring the concrete
• Less corrosion compared to other options when exposed to harsh elements
• Offers the ability to reduce the breaking and cracking of the concrete
• Can be used in any concrete project, not just horizontal projects like concrete wire mesh
• Allows for a thinner use of concrete with some construction projects

There are many different benefits you can gain from steel rebar. Whether you're building a swimming pool or another type of concrete structure, rebar offers a great option for your concrete reinforcement needs.

Steel Rebar vs. Epoxy Coated Rebar

Steel rebar offers an industry-standard option for your concrete reinforcement needs. It's widely used throughout the construction and pool building industries.

You can also choose epoxy-coated rebar. This is the best version for an economical option when it comes to rebar. It's coated with epoxy to offer even greater protection from corrosion.

Steel rebar is less expensive compared to epoxy-coated rebar. However, epoxy-coated rebar fits better with saltwater applications or in areas where corrosion presents an issue.

Common Uses for Steel Rebar

Steel rebar is used in concrete projects of all types. There are many types of projects the require the reinforcement of steel rebar within the concrete. Whether you're building a swimming pool, laying a sidewalk, or creating a driveway, you might need steel rebar for the project.

Some of the common uses include:

• Swimming pool construction
• Concrete building construction
• Sidewalk construction
• Driveway projects
• Garage floors and other concrete floors
• And more!

There are quite a few concrete projects that may require steel rebar. It's one of the most widely used concrete reinforcement options you will find on the market today.
