Starter bars cast into concrete slab for blockwork wall reinforcing, Detail of reinforcing steel at edge of concrete raft slab 16mm Cast in hold down bolts. 150 to 300 long cast into blockwork bond beams
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]
Plastic spacers and bar supports do not bond well with concrete and are not compatible materials. [1] Plastic has mechanical properties (holds the bar in position) but no structural properties, and is a foreign element within the construction. When the concrete is poured into the form, a small gap is created between the concrete and the plastic.
The starter bar is constructed in discrete blocks secured to one side of a planar spine provided in segments and arranged end to end. Adjustable spacers in the form of tapered blocks are disposed between the blocks of the bar to allow the starter bar to be self-supporting in a curved configuration corresponding to the casting path.

A concrete block, also known as a cinder block in North American English, breeze block in British English, concrete masonry unit (CMU), or by various other terms, is a standard-size rectangular block used in building construction.
During this steam pressure hardening process, when the temperature reaches 190 °C (374 °F) and the pressure reaches 800 to 1,200 kPa (8.0 to 12.0 bar; 120 to 170 psi), quartz sand reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium silicate hydrate, which gives AAC its high strength and other unique properties.
“I think the city failed us,” said Wayne Jones, 50, a security guard at a bar on Bourbon Street. He believes the area should have been better secured on New Year’s Eve ahead of the attack ...
Failure of ties is an increasing problem with cavity wall ties made from galvanized steel. It arises when the galvanizing is not of sufficient quality and the outer leaf of the cavity wall allows water penetration, usually due to porous brick/blockwork. If the tie rusts, the swelling effect may cause horizontal, external cracks to appear in the ...
