Understanding the difference between yield strength and tensile strengthis necessary to evaluate what grade of rebar you need. Think of yield strength and tensile strength as the minimum and maximum stress ranges for a particular rebar grade. Yield strength is the minimum amount of stress a material can take before it begins to deform permanently. ...

Choosing the suitable rebar for your project will depend on the size and grade needed to add the necessary support and strength. It will also largely depend on the material used to make the rebar, as well as what’s used to coat it. Carbon steel rebar is the standard in the concrete and construction industry, but it may not hold up well in high-mois...

Rebar is an essential material for reinforced concrete. Choosing the proper size, grade, and type of reinforcement bars are crucial to the success of any project. Proper and even spacing is also important. Fully understanding each rebar grade’s tensile and yield strength, as well as the benefits, disadvantages, and overall cost difference between y...
