Reinforcing bars (Rebar) in RCC are typically 12 m long, yet structural designs often require longer lengths. This gap is bridged using splicing—namely, lap splicing or mechanical couplers. While both achieve continuity, their working mechanisms, site implications, and compliance requirements differ…
Introduction Did you know that corrosion-related damage in reinforced concrete structures costs billions of dollars annually? What if there was a way to eliminate rust completely? Meet Fiberglass Rebar (GFRP) – a revolutionary alternative to traditional steel reinforcement that offers…
In construction, ensuring the durability and safety of reinforced concrete structures is crucial for any construction project where reinforcement is used, A key component in achieving this is the concrete cover for rebar. This important aspect of concrete design plays…
