Having a pool in the backyard is everyone’s dream for it not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but gives lots of room for fun to the children during summers. There is no dearth of creativity in designing the pool, but important is that the structure should be robust to stay intact for years to come. For this Steel Rebar is used to add strength to the pool. What is Steel Rebar?
Reinforcing Bar or Rebar is a mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete or masonry structures to increase its tensile strength. The most commonly used is carbon steel. However, composite bars made of stainless steel, glass fiber or basalt fiber are also used. Why is Steel Rebar Used in Pools?
Rebar Size Generally, No.5 rebar is used for pools which means the diameter will be around 0.625 inches and it will weigh around 1000-1100 pounds. Rebar Spacing is Important The ideal space between two adjacent rebars should be 2.5 inches. However, this might change depending upon the local building codes or the specific project undertaken. Rebar Grading 40, 60 and 75 are the three grades of rebars. For pool construction, grade 40 deformed bars are used whose yield strength is 40,000 per square inch. Rebar Installations It is important that the rebars installed should be the same as mentioned in the structural plan, which includes the bar size and spacing. It must be ensured that the rebar is properly encased to avoid cracking.
