Reinforcing Steel Works: Intermediate combines many different practical and visual skills with knowledge of specialized materials and techniques. Rebar 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. This book will introduce the knowledge and skills for those studying and/or working in garment industry.


About this Book


The information in this book covers basic to core competencies that individuals must achieve to enable them to fabricate and install RSB materials in high rise and infrastructure projects.


About the Reinforcing Steel Works Industry


Concrete reinforcing steel is used in bridges, buildings, skyscrapers, homes, warehouses, foundations and roads to increase the strength of the concrete and ultimately help hold up the structures. While concrete alone is strong, reinforcing steel significantly increases the strength of concrete in an economical and safe manner. Reinforced concrete is also considered environmentally friendly as the steel is made from 100% recycled scrap. At demolition, the reinforcing steel and the concrete are separated and recycled for re-use. Steel reinforcement bar is also known as rebar, reinforcing bar, reinforcing steel and reinforcement steel. It is a versatile constructional material which is widely used in the construction industry for making of the reinforced concrete. Reinforcement concrete (RC) is a composite material made up of concrete and some form of reinforcement – most commonly steel rods, bars, wires or mesh of steel rods and steel wires. The steel reinforcement bars usually consists of such shape and size that they may easily be bent and placed in the concrete so as to form a monolithic structure. Steel Reinforcing bars are produced by pouring molten steel into casters and then running it through a series of stands in the mill, which shape the steel into reinforcing bars. The cross hatchings, called “deformations,” help secure the steel and transfer the load between it and the concrete. For buildings, bridges, highways, and runways, the cast-in-place concrete body and shop-fabricated steel musculature of reinforcing bars work in tandem to create one of the most durable and most economical composite materials. Operate equipment used for applying concrete, asphalt, or other materials to road beds, parking lots, or airport runways and taxiways, or equipment used for tamping gravel, dirt, or other materials. Includes concrete and asphalt paving machine operators, form tampers, tamping machine operators, and stone spreader operators.
