Reinforced Concrete
Concrete in not ductile and can break without warning
Concrete is strong under compression, but weak under tension
*Short* steel does well under both tension and compression
Adding steel (rebar) prevents concrete from cracking and increases its ductility
Concrete Beams
Not uniform throughout
Slabs
Reinforced concrete slabs are using in floors, roofs, walls, decks, and bridges.
Slabs cover a large area and their reinforcement is best visible in plan view
Rebar Terminology & Rules
Layers of Reinforcement:
Top upper layer (TUL)
Top lower layer (TLL)
Bottom upper layer (BUL)
Bottom lower layer (BLL)
Bars are shown as a single thick line when placed parallel to the projection plane
Bars are shown as circles when placed perpendicular to the projection plane
Composite slab
Concrete and steel are connected
Prefabricated Concrete: Hollow slabs
Cinder Blocks
Bar Bending Schedule
Contains a list of all the bars needed for a particular concrete component within a build
Its purpose is to minimize waste
