The US/Imperial bar size system recognizes the use of true metric bar sizes (No. 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 50 and 60 specifically) which indicates the nominal bar diameter in millimeters, as an "alternate size" specification.
Concrete reinforcing is custom-fabricated from 60-foot-long reinforcing bars. [5] The reinforcing bars are cut to length and bent to specific configurations. The shop drawing and the accompanying “cut sheet” lists the quantity, sizes, lengths, and shapes of the reinforcing bar. [5]
Characteristics – Generally consisting of portland cement, water, construction aggregate (coarse and fine), and steel reinforcing bars , concrete is cheaper in comparison to structural steel. Strength – Concrete is a composite material with relatively high compressive strength properties, but lacking in tensile strength/ductility.
Soil nailing evolved from the New Austrian tunnelling method, which is a system for underground excavations in rock.This method consists of passive steel reinforcement in the rock followed by the application of reinforced shotcrete.

Unlike an I-beam, a T-beam lacks a bottom flange, which carries savings in terms of materials, but at the loss of resistance to tensile forces. [5] T- beam designs come in many sizes, lengths and widths to suit where they are to be used (eg highway bridge, underground parking garage) and how they have to resist the tension, compression and shear stresses associated with beam bending in their ...
