9 - Types of Rebar Detailing Services

• Rebar is a short word commonly used in
  construction meaning Reinforcing Bar. Concrete
  alone can withstand compression forces but it
  cannot withstand tension forces. So, rebar which
  is a type of reinforced material is used in place
  of concrete. More commonly used reinforcing
  material is steel. However, other materials like
  aluminium can also be used for reinforcement.
  Based on the specification, use, and application,
  rebar can be classified as follows
• Carbon Steel Rebar
• Welded Wire Fabric Rebar
• Sheet-Metal Rebar
• Epoxy-coated Rebar
• European Rebar
• Stainless Steel Rebar
• Galvanized Rebar
• Expanded Metal/Wire Mesh Rebar
• Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Rebar

Carbon Steel Rebar

• Also known as Black Bar, this type of rebar is
  most common of its types. The advantage of carbon
  steel rebar is its versatility. For the
  structures that are constantly exposed to
  humidity or water, this type of rebar cannot be
  used as it gets corroded easily. Apart from this
  usage, carbon steel rebars are considered to be
  the best option.

4
Welded Wire Fabric Rebar

• A series of steel wires are welded together at
  right angles to form welded wire fabric rebar.
  They are welded electrically at the wire
  crossings. The welded wire fabric is also called
  WWF. This rebar is used in walls, and floor slabs
  where the ground is compacted. Such rebars are
  widely used for road pavement, box culverts,
  concrete canals, and drainage structures.

5
Sheet-Metal Rebar

• This type of rebar is made from sheets of steel.
  Firstly, the steel pieces are heated and then
  allowed to cool down to prepare a sheet. The
  sheet is bent into corrugations with holes
  punched at regular intervals. It is used for
  floor slabs, roof, and stairs.

6
Epoxy-coated Rebar

• Epoxy is a type of material, a polymer that is
  used as a coating. This coating prevents
  corrosion of the rebar. Hence, it is also very
  expensive to use this type of rebar. An
  epoxy-coated rebar is used in areas that require
  corrosion resistance from salt water. The coating
  is generally very thin, and hence it must be
  purchased from an authenticated supplier.

7
European Rebar

• Europen rebar is a cost-effective alternative to
  other rebar types. However, it cannot be used for
  areas that are prone to bad weather conditions
  like earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, etc.

8
Stainless Steel Rebar

• Stainless steel rebar is a good alternative to
  carbon steel rebar. It is galvanic resistant and
  hence used extensively in corrosion prone areas
  or where the repair work cannot be done time and
  again. However, it costs as much as eight times
  more than epoxy-coated rebar.

9
Galvanized Rebar

• Galvanized rebar are specifically used for highly
  corrosive areas. It provides 40 times more
  protection than carbon steel rebar. However, they
  are one of the costliest rebar types.

10
Expanded Metal/Wire Mesh Rebar

• Expanded metal rebar is made by shearing a sheet
  of steel into parallel lines. This is then
  expanded to form a diamond shape or square shape.
  It is commonly used in areas where a considerable
  thickness of plaster is required. Wire mesh is
  used for sidewalks, small concrete pads or
  walkable surfaces.

11
Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Rebar

• GFRP rebars will never ever corrode under any
  circumstances. Against this, it is also very
  costly. It costs as much as 10 times the
  epoxy-coated rebars.
