Reinforcing Rebar Engineering Data

Civil Engineering Design Resources

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar ), also known as reinforcing steel , reinforcement steel and colloquially in Australia as reo , is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in tension. Rebar's surface is often patterned to form a better bond with the concrete.

Notes:
                
 
1. Straight development and Class "B" splice lengths shown in above tables are
  
 
    based on uncoated bars assuming center-to-center bar spacing >= 3*db without
  
 
    ties or stirrups or >= 2*db with ties or stirrups, and bar clear cover >= 1.0*db.
  
 
    Normal weight concrete as well as no transverse reinforcing are both assumed.
  
 
2. Standard 90 deg. hook embedment lengths are based on bar side cover >= 2.5"
  
 
    and bar end cover >= 2" without ties around hook.
      
 
3. For special seismic considerations, refer to ACI 318-05 Code Chapter 21.
