Rebars & Applications

   Rebars are important to the structure and foundation of a building. Along with steel and concrete, Rebars provide structural support to residential and commercial buildings. Rebars have many applications in the construction industry. A concrete patio and balcony is one such application. Here is a sequence of events that unfold on a construction site just before a concrete pour over...


1) Rebars are transported to the construction site


2) Rebars are bundled up as per their size..For example, A Rebar with a metric size 25M will have a diameter of 25.2mm or 2.52cm.

3) Concrete is then drilled along the edges of concrete balcony/patio in residential construction.


4) Rebars are then cut using special rebar saw as per the dimensions of the hole in the drilled concrete…


5) Concrete Adhesive anchoring kit is used to fill the concrete holes with anchoring adhesive before permanently placing the rebar in the concrete..


6) Vertical and horizontal Rebars are connected to corner Rebars using rebar ties…..


7) Heat sink pipes/slabs are then installed along the Rebars using cable ties…These pipes will eventually melt snow and ice on the balcony and patio.


8) Even a tiny nail can cause an air gap after concrete pour over…These air gaps expand in winter as water that seeps in cools into ice causing cracks in concrete and eventually leading to breaking apart of larger concrete chunks/blocks…Hence, Solid particles, rocks, and other waste along the edges of Rebars and form work are removed using a heavy duty construction vacuum….


9) Concrete is finally poured over and allowed to cool down….Concrete form work is then removed.
