What Is Rebar Fabrication?
Rebar fabrication refers to the process used in reinforced concrete (RC) construction to strengthen concrete in building frames. Rebars are available in 12 different thicknesses (D10 to D51) and are made from rolled steel with surface ribs.
Uses of Rebar Fabrication
Reinforcing steel bars are used in buildings, with specifications varying by location. The construction process involves assembling steel bars in foundations, columns, beams, walls, and floors. Columns feature vertical and horizontal bars with hoop wrapping, while floors use main bars and reinforcement bars. Bar intersections are secured with wires.
Types of Rebar Fabrication
Rebar fabrication mainly uses deformed steel bars. It involves cutting bars to specific lengths and bends, using rebar cutters or automatic cutting machines. Bending is done with automatic machines or onsite using an electric tool with a rebar bender. The main bending shapes are “R bending” and “spiral bending.”
Rebar names vary by use, including under bars in foundations, column bars, beam bars, wall bars, and slab bars in floors.
