THE BASICS OF REBAR: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS The Basics of Rebar If you have ever wondered what gives strength and stability to the concrete structures that we see around us, the answer is (most commonly) rebar. Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is the steel rods that are embedded in concrete that provide tensile strength to what is actually and prevent cracking. Rebar comes in different shapes and sizes, but the most common type is deformed steel rebar, which has ridges or indentations along its surface to create a better bond with the concrete. Deformed steel rebar has been used in the construction industry for over a century, and it has revolutionised the way we build. With rebar, and using elements such as beams, beam ties , rebar mesh, and reinforced walls, we can create taller, stronger, and more durable structures that can withstand natural disasters, environmental changes, and human activities. Some of the most iconic buildings in the world, such as...
IS 456 - 2000 all updates and changes every civil engineer should know The Civil Engineering industry's foundation is based on all norms and standards. Civil engineers must know all codes and standards that will be complied with in their field of work. The code and compliances are made to ensure the safety and durability of structures. Each code holds its importance, similarly IS 456 - 2000 describes the practice for general structural use of plain and reinforced concrete. In this blog, we will explore all updates and changes that every civil engineer should know about IS 456 - 2000. What is IS 456 and IS 456 - 2000? IS 456: The IS 456 was published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and describes the practice of general use of plain and reinforced concrete in India for construction projects. It is a widely used standard. For the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures original code IS 456:1978 was introduced. IS 456 – 2000: The IS 456 - 20...
