What is Rebar? How Long Is Rebar? Common Types of Rebar

In construction materials, steel is one of the important and indispensable materials. Among all types of steel, rebar is the most chosen and used in all construction projects. So what do you understand by rebar? How long is rebar? What types of rebar are there? Let's find out more details in the following article.

 

Construction rebar - what is rebar?

​For those who do not know, Rebar, also known as Reinforcing bar, is one of the steel materials commonly used in the construction industry, with a long bar structure, on each body. There will often be very special embossed stripes.

 

Characteristics of steel bars and rebar

Normally, this steel bar will usually be packed into bundles with a weight of no more than 5 tons and used to bundle with straps. The diameter of each steel bar is usually from 10mm - 40mm depending on the needs of use to choose the appropriate type of steel bar. fit.

 

 

Application of construction rebar - rebar

As one of the popular materials, rebar is used and applied in many fields. With the characteristics of heat resistance, good strength, high hardness and durability, this type of steel is often used in all concrete and reinforced concrete construction projects, industrial houses, civil houses, buildings, and offices. rooms, hydroelectric projects, bridges and roads...

 

Common types of rebar

Steel bars have high elongation, perfect toughness, and are easy to bend, so they are used in most projects. In addition, there are currently popular types of rebar such as:

Plain round rebar

This is a type of rebar processed in a cylindrical shape, with a smooth and shiny appearance, produced in molds with a normal length of 12m/tree, standard diameters are Ø14, Ø16, Ø18, Ø20, Ø22, Ø25.

 

Plain round steel bar

 

In addition, these types of rebar are sold to the market in bundles with a volume of about 2 tons, and are used in the pillars of large construction projects.

Round rebar with grain

Round rebar with veins or steel with stripes and ribs on the outside. Their diameters are quite diverse from Ø10, Ø12, Ø14, Ø16, Ø18, Ø20, Ø22, Ø25, Ø28, Ø32. Depending on your needs, you can choose the appropriate type.

Rolled steel bar

Rolled rebar, also known as steel wire, is rolled into bundles with a textured or smooth surface. Their average diameter is usually Ø6mm, Ø8mm, Ø10mm, Ø12mm, Ø14mm. Each steel coil has an average weight of 200 - 459kg and they are used for wire drawing, building houses, bridges, roads, tunnels...

How about the length of rebar?

 

How long is rebar? The standard size of this type of steel is usually 11.7m in length with a diameter of 10mm - 40mm. In addition, depending on usage needs, the customer can request the manufacturer to design the desired size. . The product will be packed into individual bundles with a load not exceeding 5 tons.

 

Standard rebar length is 11.7m

 

In addition, the parameters of size, weight of 1m length, cross-sectional area, allowable deviation along with other quantities of weighing steel will have to comply with standard regulations.

 

The reason why the length of rebar is 11.7m and not other sizes is because this is the international and Vietnamese steel production specification. That is, if calculated based on the inch system, 1 standard rebar will be 460 inches x 0.0254 m/inch equal to 11.7 m. In Vietnam, we currently apply foreign steel production technology so we will comply with this specification.

 

Therefore, steel factories in Vietnam currently produce steel bars with a standard length of 11.7m to serve many different needs. Customers can also choose different types of steel to build with the same standards and structures. This will ensure more efficiency in construction, avoid shortages and save construction materials.

 

Above is information to help people better understand what rebar is. Hopefully the above knowledge has provided you with detailed knowledge about the construction materials industry. If you need to transport, import or export iron and steel construction materials, you can contact CCN VIETNAM for the most thoughtful support.
