Reinforcement bars from AKM Overseas Trading LLC
Rebars are primarily used to reinforce concrete structures, such as foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and walls. They enhance the tensile strength of concrete, which is relatively low compared to its compressive strength. By embedding reinforcement bars within concrete, the resulting composite material can withstand tensile stresses, preventing cracking and failure.
Material: Rebars are typically made from steel, specifically mild steel or deformed steel. Mild steel rebars have smooth surfaces and are commonly used in smaller-scale construction projects. Deformed steel rebars, on the other hand, feature ridges or deformations along their length, providing better adhesion with concrete and improving bond strength.
Types of Reinforcement bars from AKM Overseas Trading LLC
Rebars come in various shapes and sizes to suit different structural requirements. Common types include:
- Plain Round Bars: Smooth, cylindrical bars without deformations, primarily used in mild steel reinforcement.
- Deformed Bars: Ribbed or twisted bars with deformations along their length, offering enhanced bond strength with concrete. Deformed bars are the most commonly used type in reinforced concrete construction.
- Epoxy-Coated Bars: Rebars coated with epoxy resin to provide corrosion resistance, typically used in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals may lead to rusting.
