  2. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    ACI Code 7.10.4.2: For cast-in-place construction, size of spirals shall not be less than 3/8 in. diameter. ACI Code 7.10.4.3: Clear spacing between spirals shall not exceed 3 in., nor be less than 1in. Section 10.9.3 adds an additional lower limit to the amount of spiral reinforcement via the volumetric spiral reinforcement ratio ρ s.

  3. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar (short for reinforcement bar or reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, [1] is a tension device added to concrete to form reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

  4. Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocode_2:_Design_of...

    Logo of Eurocode 2 An example of a concrete structure. In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures (abbreviated EN 1992 or, informally, EC 2) specifies technical rules for the design of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures, using the limit state design philosophy.

  5. Shop drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_drawing

    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 ]

  6. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily, steel reinforcing bars (known as rebar) and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before the concrete sets. However, post-tensioning is also employed as a technique to reinforce the concrete. In terms of volume used annually, it is one of the most common engineering materials.

  7. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    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.

  8. Reinforced solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_solid

    The reinforcement ratio is defined in a cross-section of a reinforcing bar as the reinforcement area over the total area , which is the brittle material area plus the reinforcement area. ρ x {\displaystyle \rho _{x}} = A r x {\displaystyle A_{rx}} / A x {\displaystyle A_{x}}

  9. Anchorage in reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage_in_Reinforced...

    The reinforcement in a RC structure, such as a steel bar, has to undergo the same strain or deformation as the surrounding concrete in order to prevent discontinuity, slip or separation of the two materials under load. Maintaining composite action requires transfer of load between the concrete and steel.
