REINFORCEMENT
Search
Reinforced concrete is a composite material use where one single
material cannot achieve the design requirements. Concrete is strong Custom Search

in compression but weak in tension. Hence, so that concrete to be

good in construction, their should have a strengthening in the
concrete. This strengthening (reinforcing) material is known as
fibers.

CHARACTERISTICS OF REINFORCING MATERIAL IN

CONCRETE
1. It must have tensile strength.
Followers 2. It must be able to achieve this tensile strength without undue
strains.
Join this site 3. the material must be able to easily bent into any required shape
w ith Google Friend
Connect 4. Its surface must be capable of developing an adequate bond
Members (25) More between the concrete and the reinforcement to ensure that the
required design tensile strength is obtain.
5. It must be available at reasonable cost.
The material which meets all the above requirements is steel in the comment
form of bars, and is supplied in two basic types.
1. mild steel
2. high tensile steel

STEEL BARS USE IN REINFORCEMENT

TOPICS the characteristic strength of mild steel is 250 N/mm2 and 460
N/mm. the surface of mild steel provides adequate bond but the

BAR BENDING
Steel bars should cut and bend to the required shape so that they
are fabricate bind and place them within the form work .Bar
bending is done by skilled person and he should be given the
required bar schedule prepared according to the reinforcement Live
drawings.
BAR SHEDULE PREPARATION
Bar schedule is a special scheduling of steel bars which includes
whole the details of each bar of a particular member required for
bending the bar. The general bar schedule includes following
details.
Member
Bar mark
Type and size
No. of member
No. bars in each
Total no.
Length of each bar (mm)
Total length (mm)
Shape of bending demension
Using the above method , we find out the quantity of necessary
bars in the site.
When we order bars, at first we should make the bar schedule.

LAPPING TWO STEEL BARS

Steel bars manufactures are of 6m lengths. But in practice we would
need bars longer than 6m. In such cases we have to lap two bars as
no failure occurs and as it produce its original strength. in this site,
the recommended lap lengthy is 50 times the bar diameter if both
bars are of same diameter. When lapping two bars of different
