  2. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar (short for 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. Concrete is strong under compression, but has low tensile strength.

  3. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    When a concrete structure is designed, it is usual to specify the concrete cover for the rebar (the depth of the rebar within the object). The minimum concrete cover is normally regulated by design or building codes. If the reinforcement is too close to the surface, early failure due to corrosion may occur.

  4. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    Suspended slab under construction, with the formwork still in place Suspended slab formwork and rebar in place, ready for concrete pour. A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most ...

  5. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    Pre-tensioned concrete is a variant of prestressed concrete where the tendons are tensioned prior to the concrete being cast. [1]: 25 The concrete bonds to the tendons as it cures, following which the end-anchoring of the tendons is released, and the tendon tension forces are transferred to the concrete as compression by static friction.

    Initiation and propagation periods of steel rebar corrosion in a reinforced concrete structure (Tutti diagram). [2] [3]Initially, the chemical reactions that normally occur in the cement paste, generate an alkaline environment, bringing the solution in the cement paste pores to pH values around 13.

  7. Anchorage in reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

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

    Conventionally the term concrete refers only to concrete that is reinforced with iron or steel. However, other materials are often used to reinforce concrete e.g. organic and inorganic fibres, composites in different forms. While compared to its compressive strength, concrete is weak in tension. Thus adding reinforcement increases the strength ...

  8. Concrete cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cover

    A sufficient thickness of concrete cover is thus required in order to slow down the carbonatation process towards the rebar. The minimum concrete cover will depend on the environmental conditions encountered and must be thicker when the concrete is also exposed to moisture and chloride (proximity to the sea, use of de-icing salt for bridges or ...

    Rebar has been stubbed up out of the concrete slab to form the base of future columns Timber formwork for a concrete column. Adjustable metal screw jacks both stabilize and plumb the form Aluminum formwork system Sketch of the side view of traditional timber formwork used to form a flight of stairs Placing a wall form.
