16mm High Tensile Steel Reinforcement Bar (Rebar) for Concrete 3000mm

What Is 16mm Rebar?

Emerging as a true powerhouse in the construction industry, the 16mm High Tensile Steel Rebar is more than just a construction material. Representing the seamless fusion of top-tier strength, durability, and sophisticated engineering, the 16mm rebar promises to elevate the structural integrity of any construction project to unprecedented heights. 

Primarily crafted from steel, a material renowned for its outstanding robustness and resilience, the 16mm Rebar ensures enduring structural support for numerous construction projects. Its resistance to inclement weather, corrosion, and other environmental elements attests to its long-lasting reliability.

By incorporating a high tensile substance such as a reinforcing bar during the concrete pouring process, the tensile strength of the overall building project will be significantly enhanced. The 16mm diameter ensures superior tensile strength, allowing it to withstand substantial pressure without deformation or breakage.

Adding to its uniqueness, the 16mm Rebar features ridges, a feature which denotes the bar with its commonly used alter-name: deformed bar. These ridges increase the rebar's grip within the concrete, enhancing the mechanical anchoring and reducing the risk of displacement or movement, thus ensuring a more secure and stable construction.

16mm Rebar Key Features & Benefits

• Utilised as a tension device to strengthen concrete structures and other structural elements
• Given the correct concrete cover, these reinforcing bars will not corrode or rust
• Offers high tensile reinforcement - resists tensile stress
• Concrete adheres to the bar to create a stable and bonded structure
• Can be welded before concrete is poured
  
  

16mm Reinforcing Bar Applications

While concrete exhibits the ability to withstand compression force, it can be prone to weakness under tension and load bending tensile force. 

This high quality 16mm rebar (reinforcing bar) is used predominantly as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures, holding them firmly in compression.

Let's outline a few of these concrete structures below: 

• Beams
• Slabs
• Floors 
• Bridges 
  
  

How 16mm Rebar Works

The reinforcement process of concrete slabs sees rebars applied across the length and width of the slab at regular intervals.

Cutting 16mm Steel Bar

16mm rebar can be cut to the desired size with reciprocating saws with either a bi-metal or diamond grit blade.

Due to rebar's tough composition, cutting should only be attempted with the appropriate cutting tools, equipment and PPE. 

Which Applications Require Reinforcement? 

To put it simply, any structural concrete application that demands a high degree of load-bearing should be reinforced. Let's outline a few examples below: 

• Footings
• Foundations 
• Slabs 
• Columns
