  2. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar has been placed atop a temporary wooden formwork deck prior to pouring concrete. The large horizontal rebar "cages" will be encased within a beam, while several thick vertical rebar stubs will stick out of the pour to form the base of a future column. Concrete is a material that is very strong in compression, but relatively weak in tension.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]

  4. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    Reinforcing rebar is placed axially in the column to provide additional axial stiffness. Accounting for the additional stiffness of the steel, the nominal loading capacity P n for the column in terms of the maximum compressive stress of the concrete f c ' , the yield stress of the steel f y , the gross cross section area of the column A g , and ...

  5. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1] Reinforced concrete is the most common form of concrete. The reinforcement is often steel rebar (mesh, spiral, bars and other forms). Structural fibers of various materials are available.

  6. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    Reinforced concrete, also called ferroconcrete, is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.

  7. Electrical resistivity measurement of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity...

    However, measurement of the resistance between a rebar and a single probe at the concrete surface is sometimes done in conjunction with electrochemical measurements. Resistivity strongly affects corrosion rates and electrochemical measurements require an electrical connection to the rebar. It is convenient to make a resistance measurement with ...

  8. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    This inherently makes concrete a useful material for carrying the weight of a structure. Concrete reinforced with steel rebar give the structure a stronger tensile capacity, as well as an increase in ductility and elasticity. Constructability – Reinforced concrete must be poured and left to set, or harden.

  9. A36 steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A36_steel

    A36 steel is a common structural steel alloy used in the United States. [1] The A36 (UNS K02600) standard was established by the ASTM International.The standard was published in 1960 and has been updated several times since. [2]
