Steel Rods (Reinforcement Bars) - selection during construction
Concrete has good compressive strength. However, it does not withstand tensile or bending stresses. To overcome this, reinforcement bars (steel rods) are placed inside the concrete to provide the necessary strength. Hence, the term Reinforced Concrete Cement.
We suggest that only BIS certified steel bars should be used for RCC construction. It is essential to ensure when purchasing them that no rust is visible on the bars. The steel bars are normally fixed in pre-designed formats. So, be careful that all design requirements are strictly adhered to.
