This article is about the reinforcement bar. For the company, see Rebar (Taiwan). For the art group, see Rebar
art and design studio.
Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), also known as re-
Originally, concrete structures were unreinforced. Rebar has been used in construction since at least the 15th
century; for example, 2500 m of rebars were used in the

compromise this guard through carbonation from the surface, and salt penetration. Too much concrete cover can
cause bigger crack widths which also compromises the
local guard. As rust takes up greater volume than the
steel from which it was formed, it causes severe internal
pressure on the surrounding concrete, leading to cracking, spalling, and ultimately, structural failure. This phenomenon is known as oxide jacking. This is a particular problem where the concrete is exposed to salt water,
as in bridges where salt is applied to roadways in winter,
or in marine applications. Uncoated, corrosion-resistant
low carbon/chromium (microcomposite), epoxy-coated,
galvanized or stainless steel rebars may be employed in
these situations at greater initial expense, but signicantly
lower expense over the service life of the project. Extra
care is taken during the transport, fabrication, handling,
installation, and concrete placement process when working with epoxy-coated rebar, because damage will reduce
the long-term corrosion resistance of these bars.[6] Even
damaged bars have shown better performance than uncoated reinforcing bars, though issues from debonding of
the epoxy coating from the bars and corrosion under the
epoxy lm have been reported.[7] These bars are used in
over 70,000 bridge decks in the USA.[8]

Reinforcement for use in concrete construction is subject to the requirements of Australian Standards AS36002009 (Concrete Structures) and AS/NZS4671-2001
(Steel Reinforcing for Concrete). There are other standards that apply to testing, welding and galvanising. The

Rebar is available in grades and specications that vary in
yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, chemical composition, and percentage of elongation.
In US use, the grade designation is equal to the minimum ASTM marking designations are:

Welding
Placing rebar
Rebar cages are normally tied together with wire, although spot welding of cages has been the norm in Europe for many years, and is becoming more common in
the US. High strength steels for prestressed concrete may
absolutely not be welded.
The structural performance criteria for mechanical connections varies between countries, codes, and industries.
As a minimum requirement, codes typically specify that
the rebar to splice connection meets or exceeds 125% of
the specied yield strength of the rebar. More stringent
criteria also requires the development of the specied ultimate strength of the rebar. As an example, ACI 318
species either Type 1 (125% Fy) or Type 2 (125% Fy
and 100% Fu) performance criteria.[16]
For concrete structures designed with ductility in mind, it
is recommended that the mechanical connections are also
capable of failing in a ductile manner, typically known
in the reinforcing steel industry as achieving bar-break.
As an example, Caltrans species a required mode of failure (i.e., necking of the bar).[17]
