What is Rebar Connection System in Reinforced Concrete Construction?
Mechanical rebar splice technique in reinforced-concrete construction is a method for proper fabrication and placement of reinforcement bars per the design and drawings for reinforced concrete construction.
As we know that concrete is very strong in compression and weak in tension. The reinforcement bars or rebars are good in tension, which is incorporated with concrete to make use of its tension property.
Estimation of rebars for a reinforced concrete work is done by the engineer in charge. The engineer provides us with the specific details of the number of reinforcement bars, the shape and size of each bar for each work.
There are different types of loads that including tension, compression, lateral, horizontal and torsion that are forms of pressure, against which the concrete has to show its strength.
The strength gained by the reinforced concrete construction structure is dependent on the method, as well as the techniques that are employed to install the reinforcement bar. The reinforcement bars are mainly patterned over its surface to facilitate proper bonding with the concrete.
