Interesting Facts About Reinforcing Steel:

Concrete is a material that is very strong in compressive strength but virtually no tensile strength. To compensate for this imbalance, reinforcing steel, or rebar is formed into concrete structures to give them tensile strength. Rebar is usually made from mild steel, and ridges are formed into the steel to give it better frictional adhesion to the concrete.

Masonry structures can also be reinforced with rebar. Some standard masonry units like blocks and bricks are made with strategically placed voids to accommodate rebar, which is then secured in place with grout.

While other materials with sufficient tensile strength could be used to reinforce concrete, steel and concrete have similar coefficients of thermal expansion; so a concrete structural member reinforced with steel will experience minimal stress as a result of differential expansions of the two interconnected materials caused by temperature changes.

Common rebar is made of unfinished steel, making it susceptible to rusting. As rust takes up greater volume than the iron or steel from which it was formed, it causes severe internal pressure on the surrounding concrete, leading to cracking, spalling, and ultimately, structural failure. This is a particular problem where the concrete is exposed to salt water, as in bridges built in areas where salt is applied to roadways in winter, or in marine applications. Epoxy-coated rebar or stainless steel rebar may be employed in these situations at greater initial expense, but significantly lower expense over the service life of the project.
