 Reinforced concrete is one of the most common building materials used in the construction of facilities and structures, ranging from skyscrapers to bridges. To complement concrete's limited tensile strength, embedded steel rods 3/8 to over 2 inches in diameter, known as rebar, provide an effective and cost-efficient reinforcement.
The concept of rebar dates to 1867 when Joseph Monier of France reinforced concrete flower pots made by an American, William Wand, with wire. Two decades later, in 1889, the Alvord Lake Bridge in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park became the first reinforced concrete bridge. Several methods of reinforcement were tried, including steel beams, twisted bar, and cable, before settling on the ridged rod still in use today. |
