Rod

Description of Rods (Rebar) Used in Construction

Rods, commonly known as rebars (reinforcing bars), are strong steel bars used inside concrete structures to increase their strength and durability. Concrete is very good at handling compression, but it is weak in tension. Rebar fills this weakness by providing the necessary tensile strength.

Rebars are usually made of high-quality steel and have ribbed or textured surfaces, which help them bond tightly with concrete. They are used in almost every reinforced concrete structure, such as foundations, columns, beams, and slabs.

Using the right size, grade, and proper binding of rods ensures the stability, safety, and long life of a building.
