Steel Rebar

Today Steel Rebar is the most admired building material across the globe and is used in a variety of residential, commercial and industrial structures from tall skyscrapers to huge sports stadium to homes and shopping malls. Especially steel rebars have found extensive usage to provide strength to the building structure. Concrete is basically high density material and has less strength when applied tension. To counter this problem, steel rebar sticks are used to carry the tensile loads in a composite structure. Masonry elements like bricks and blocks are made with strategically placed cavities to accommodate rebar sticks. Huge structures like bridges, dams, garages, jetties where strength under tension is of utmost importance steel rebar sticks are used almost inevitably.

Rebar size is one of the decisive factors when creating shop drawings for a structure or a building. Two conventions are being used in steel industry for rebar sizes – Imperial sizes and Metric sizes. Imperial bar method (USA convention) represents rebar diameters in fractions of 1/8 inch, such that #8 = 8/8 inch = 1 inch diameter. Metric bar method (Canadian convention) represents the rebar diameter in millimeters, rounded to the nearest 5 mm. 

Pace International deals in several standards and various sizes of Steel Rebar ranging from 6mm to 40mm.
